Just a matter of time before DFO impose a limit on sea worms. ::)
-
I'm pretty sure there is a limit on sea worm if it is not already prohibited to harvest them. Would you like me to find out tomorrow? ;)
-
Oh God, ;D ;D ;D Maybe I should just give up fishing. :D :D
-
Nice pile perch you got. It's so hard to get them at Ambleside as most of the time shiners will be first to take the bait. or pick off the bait.
-
nice perch, how big were they?
-
26 - 28 cm
-
how big do those striped perch get? i've caught surf and pile perch at fairly big sizes, but never the striped ones any larger than 11 inches. i love their color though.

I find that the trick is to use a larger hook (I like size 6). Then the shiners won't get stuck and you can uses a larger piece of bait so it takes longer for them to eat it off. ;)
I love stripped perch. For the size they're about the scrappiest fish going!
-

In a blind taste test you couldn't tell the difference between stripped and pile perch. Plus, stripped perch are magnificent to behold. :o
-
BAHAHAHA.... i caught 10 perch today :D... 8 pile, 2 stipe. dont worry guys i had a buddy with me so we split the fish evenly :D
-
I find that thick sea worms are the best for big perch .. the shiner perch do nible but they get scared when the sea warms are quite thick.. i use the head of the sea worm because its almost like a leather and stays on for about 5 catches..
-
I find that too
-
where to get the sea worms? Are they available in tackle stores?
-
they stick to the side of docks, about a foot below the surface of the water in tubes.
-
you can also find sea worms under the rocks .. when it is low tide use a garen ho cuz those buggers are fast
-
just look for rocks tat are burried deep in the sands... doenst have to be big. jsut has to be deep. anyways... sea worms always beats prawn in my opinion... all i had was prawn then a guy with sea worms came and we didnt catch anymore.
-
yes seaworms are by for the best bair for dock fishing for perch and shiner pearch
-
are those good eating?? ???
-
are those good eating?? ???
Perch or sea worms? Perch, yes, very. Seaworms, well... a little less so :P ;)
The only problem I have with fishing with sea worms is that if I'm catching seaworms I'm not fishing!! I'm sure you see my trouble.
-
Ya but you always get action with seaworms.. TOP Notch Quality bait
-
phat wop i think you are thinking of tube worms...they work great for greenling but not so much for perch in my experience! Sunshine coast a couple years ago i had a MASSIVE seaworm bite me. it hurts like hell...they have a jaw in the front like a dragonfly nymph, it comes out just like "aliens" and locks on...YYEEEEOOOUUUCCCHHH!!! Try it yourself for some fun !
Nice work Jighead!
-
the tube worms work amazing for perch, rock cod, and greenling in my experience. i used to just break open some mussels that were stuck to the rocks, but they seem to get smaller every year and a hassle to shuck. those sea worms under rocks are vicious...i hate touching those things.....they are like giant centipedes.
-
I mite go there tomorow to try my luck again, anyone care to join me? hehehe... if is not raining that is.
thanks marmot, havent seen you on the pier for a while.

I think people are getting a little confused by what is meant by "sea worms". First there are the onces that are found in sand and under rocks. These are actually 2 different species of worms, the clam worm and the blood worm. Clam worms are smaller, blood worms look like really big clam worms but release what looks like blood if cut. An tube worms of course live in the tubes stuck to stuff.
I just thought those tidbits would be of use. ;D
