It's not every beach and its not everywhere on the beach where there are lugworm.MightBite wrote:I've never gone hunting for lug before. Can they be got on all beaches or just some certain ones. Thanks
They tend to prefer the silty areas, often around estuaries and in the past sewage outflows (!) where food is more abundant.
They don't like the fine looser"clean" sand you find on most beaches, preferring far wetter and often very dark coloured sand (indicating organic matter).
Look for the classic squiggles in the sand, typically in large colonies.
The bigger the squiggle, the bigger the worm.
Leave the small stuff alone.
There are two types of lugworm, blow lugworm which is the usual find, and in areas only accessible on low spring tides, black lugworm.
If you are pumping, its the blow lugworm you are after... if you want black lugworm, it involves some serious and deep digging.
