My buddy John and I hit the canal this morning for cutts. We had a few shots but pretty slow overall. A few schools of chum fry were spotted as well.
We happened to run into something I've never witnessed in over 50 years of fishing the local salt. I've seen worms before but never this highly concentrated.
I'm not sure if this was marine worms spawn or if it was a worm hatch. If someone knows please chime in.
This was only in an area on the beach that was maybe 20 yards long at the most. There were thousands of worms everywhere in that small area with none anywhere else on the beach. It was on the only sandy area in that stretch of beach.
A gal who worked for WDFW saw us looking at them and came down for a look. She mentioned she hadn't ever seen worms so heavily concentrated either.
Some of them seemed to almost be falling apart with many high and dry as the tide went out. John picked one up and a white matter started coming out of it. Perhaps sperm?
The size and color variety was pretty amazing. They went color wise from red, neon green, tan, olive etc.
I've got some video I'll post up later. Here are a few pics.
