Recently moved out here from Sac and can't find a shop that sells any pile worms. They are deadly in the bays/oceans if anyone knows a shop around here, can you share?


Thanks,

Dan :smt001

I usually harvest my own; a 4 tine rake under the docks.  Nasty things but great bait!! 

The rake looks like a mini pitch fork with the tines bent up at a 90 degree angle.  Here is a photo of a 7 tine, can't find one of a 4 tine...



Lay on your belly, look under the dock and snag them off the bottom of the dock.
They sell the rake at the hardware stores in Humboldt area.
