What's the chance of getting some.....called my usual, and some not so usual, places with no luck.....

Anybody got any on the Ma South shore area.....I suppose I could go the long way around and swing by the canal area and then head north, if I have to......

Thanks.....

Not much chance south of boston.
All our sea worms come from maine .
they should start to dig end of this Mo. first part of next Mo.
Boston diggers might supply a few shops up there . try Daryl at Monponset Circle.

Thanks, Mike....I did try there, he said he might get some on the weekend....but that ain't gonna help for tomorrow....hmmmmm.....wonder what my compost pile holds? And I suppose there's always clams or squid....

Steve just dig your own. Try the mudflats.

Steve just don’t get caught digging your own! With out a license that is. However the point of getting worms from your own mud flats makes sense to me. Find some one local who is licensed.

Later,:cool:

Since when do you need a liscence, and what kind of liscence do you need to take seaworms? We used to get them all the time. :confused:

I guess this goes back to when I was a teenager! “Back in the last century. Sounds weird don’t it!”
When I was on Castle Island, South Boston. When the Police showed up and said to my friends and me you need a license to dig worms. And this stuck with me over the years. When I made this above post, I thought that it was true! So the Specialist got me wondering, and I wanted to clear this matter up.
This is what I found out about the sea worm controversy! I emailed all the departments that I have in my directory, and this was the only response I received. This is for Massachusetts. It may turn out that no permit is needed, however it may be a town by town issue.
And I thought this is something we all need to know!
Here it is!
You do not need a State permit, but may be required to purchase a town
Permit. The harvest of shellfish and sea worms is under local (town) control,
So you need to contact the shellfish warden or harbormaster of the town you
want to dig in.

This is just a heads up folks, Later
:smash:

Thanks linesides, I learned something new today. We used to just dig em when we were kids.

steve... if your going for flatfish try using some nightcrawlers, they may not be as effective as bloodworms, but they do work.

Linesides - WOW - I never even though to consider that there may be any regulations on the "harvesting" of worms. In retrospect, I can easily see how there could or would be based on the vast amount that are taken for fishing and other pursuits.

Thanks for kicking up a thought process...

Worms, worms, worms...the surefire treat for just about anything that swims.

Actually, RC, that's what I ended up doing......one advantage to having a garden and a compost pile...;)

You're right, not as effective, but in a pinch, they work.....

OOOOOOPSIES...........:rolleyes: :eek:
