worm identification

I normally use Lemon juice to get the musselworm to crawl out from the mussels. I'm sure its got no effect on the mussel organism itself. I have done it a few time on the same bed off mussels over a period of a few years and it doesnt look like its doing any damage to the mussel beds... Normally if one sprays the lemon juice over the mussels they close up, but keep in mind worms are not the only organims living between the mussels theres alot of other little creature that stays in there, so for the handy andy thing i wouldn't recomend...
nice one hannes 101- i'll definitively try that approach before the handy andy. its quite weird though- I've come across very similar looking worms in the sand in cape point reserve. They start off looking like earthworms but when they get going they have multiple legs like the berkley comoworm, have a red inner core and get aggro as hell!I've used them a couple of times with no success yet- they have a very strong earthy odour to them- which i imagine would call those gallies in from far! As for the real Berkley camo worms I've tried presenting the red one and the greenish/brown one on light tackle where i KNOW there are Gallies about, but have not had a nibble on them yet...I still pack them in and take 'em for a swim when the organic bait runs out 'cos i really like the idea of artificials, but Ja- losing faith...

Hou die wurms in 'n nat stukkie lap en haal al die dooie wurms uit anders vrek die res redelik vinnig en glo my pap wurm is net so goed soos geen wurm. Moet nooit die wurms vries nie mens kan hulle amper 'n week lank lewendig hou in die yskas met di stukkie lap waarin hulle toe gedraai is. Onthou net om jou vrou te vertel van die goed in die stukkie lap...nicos wrote:

i have found that wonderworms, and most other worms can be kept alive for a number of weeks.its quite simple actually.take a handfull or two of beach sand (wet), put the worms in the sand ,mix thouroughly , then wrap in a damp cloth or slightly damp newspaper.wrap again wih dry newspaper and put in a normal fridge.take out quantity needed to fish and leave the balance.will last weeks!works for almost all worms , provided there are enough nutrients for them in the sand.AVOID the WIFE throwing out the bait,so DONT put in a visible spot in the fridge!!!

Mosselwurm is great aas, maar ek haat dit ook om die mosselbank te verniel vir 4 of 5 wurms.
So julle se dis safe
