Light Grey Blue Women Multi-purpose Five Fingers Shoes
Buckley can be found splashing around the watermark at low tide during summer, pulling up slimy invertebrates and stuffing them into a pouch. They sniff out decaying fish and seaweed and poke their heads up to feed, concealing the rest of their bodies, which can be up to 2½ metres long, beneath the sand. Bream, whiting and flathead all like to eat worms, although the portion of worm threaded on to the hook needs to be varied according to the size of the targeted fish species. Recreational fishermen can harvest up to 20 worms a day, although Buckley does not believe in taking more than are needed.
If possible, it is better to seize them with fingers than pliers because tools can damage the worm so they can't be released if they're not used. "But let me tell you, some of the worms are so strong you've got to use pliers," Buckley says. "They're this tall" - he holds his hand above his shoulder - "and they're thick. When they come up, they actually stretch."
