RexSenior Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Hi Raiders Been a while between posts as I haven't caught too much (with the exception of Crescent Head last week). Headed out yesterday in search of beach worms - they have been very scarce since the April storms. Finally found a small patch at Birdie Beach after a few hours of searching 4 beaches, some thumpers in the bunch too.... Went to Blacksmiths beach today in search of Whiting & I guess a Jew or 2 would have been OK. Ended up with a few Dart, a salmon and half a dozen bream. Just kept the bream for a feed - all between 30 & 41cm - threw the rest in to fight another day. Cheers, James Edited October 20, 2016 by RexSenior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mate. You can get them all year around, I find Summer and Autumn to be more productive. Things like the tides, big swells, wind & changing shape of the sandbars have a much bigger affect. There is a great article from Roberta on here that details everything and has been very accurate for me. If you can't find it just google "Beachworms Forster" and it'll come straight up.
