Worm Spawn Already ??

[ilovetwofish]

When typicaly do the worms hatch?

The worm hatches I'm familiar with coincide with the full not the new moon. Whatever you saw is a good sign though.

Although major spawns occur around the moons etc. All you really need is the bottom, usually shallow mud etc to warm up a few degrees.

You will find spawns year-round if you can locate conditions where you have a shallow bottom, and it receives enough direct to heat that bottom up a few degrees.

ie the schoolies that show up at a popular early season spot in soco, most will have a variety of cinders, clam worms, ribbons, etc in their mouths, these are usually muddier worms as they usually root around for them that early in the spring. As the amount of direct sunlight received on the flats etc is enough to get them moving but not enough to get them to really boogie around the surface like they are more apt to do in june, july, aug. Hope that helps.

During that warm spell last month there was a worm hatch in Warwick cove in my marina.
