Long summary:
When seeking black lugworm you will find that there
is a distinct pattern to the marks on the sand or
mud. A squiggle marks one end of the burrow and
the other end is marked by a small circular
depression in the sand or mud. These identify the
ends of the "U" shaped burrow. Digging for black
lugworm involves seeking out individual worms.
Select a single pair of marks, squiggle and
depression and make sure they look fresh. Nothing
worst than digging up an empty burrow! Take a
"sod" out at the depression end first. Take the next
one out at the squiggle. Take one or two loads out
at the piece in between these points. Most worms
are found in this last piece. Dig at an angle rather
than straight down and you may be able to follow the
track of the burrow. It may need a second spade
load to get at the worms, although most tend to be
within a foot (30 cms) of the surface. As indicated,
some will be within an inch of the surface if there is
water on the surface nearby. Otherwise you will find
them at or just above the water table. Drop the
spade load of sand from hip height or higher so that
it fractures along the burrows made by the worms,
making them easier to find in the debris. It is
amazing who well camouflaged blow lugworm are
given their varied hues - ranging from black to green
to red. Each beach or mud flat has its own unique
characteristics - on the Cockle Beach behind Bertra
Strand in Mayo the best spot is in the shingle, shells
and loose stones at the high water mark, where they
are only an inch or two underground
