go down to a flat beach( not sure wheres theres one in your area) and look for squiggles in the sand. select an area where there are with plenty of them and start digging a trench along it, usually a foot or so does, but sometimes they can be less or more depending on weather and how recent the tide went out use a fork not a spade as a spade will cut them in half, another tip is dont lift the sand to fast as youl brake any.

best thing is to find out when the low tide for the area is.. and go down an hour before low..

as mentioned look for squiggles in the sand .. they actually look like this @ (and no worms dont have e-mail addresses)

so what you need to do is find what may look like this in the sand

. @ . @ (fullstops represent holes or dips in the sand etc etc)

i find if you dig behind the hole towards the squiggle you have a better chance of getting the worm whole..

depth of worms can vary from only a few inches to 18" and are go deeper in winter

p.s. use a pitch fork, much easier to dig with..
