Pipis and sand worms
Submitted by Colin Hay on Mon, 2008-06-09 13:35
I am intrigued by Andy Mac's comment on diving for pipi's off Albany on Dreamweaver's post.
I was wondering if these are the same pipis that you get over east?
Do you get them at the beaches down south?
I am also wondering if there are any sandworms in the West?
Many thanks, Colin Hay

We used to catch the giant
We used to catch the giant sandworms on the east coast beaches by waving fish parts tied up in a stocking in the wash of the waves. You would then wait for a sandworm to stick its head up and you would move down, place a piece of fish or a pippi where the sand worm had put its head up. When it came out again and grabbed hold of your bait you woud grab it behind the head and slowly pull it out. They would be quite a few feet long and fantastic bait.(Colin 1 - Co-founding member of the prestigious Colin Club)

Hey Andy
Are they the pipis with the creamy yellow shells and the meat inside includes a big creamy coloured tongue and a white and grey coloured body?

Sea Shells
They are the creamy coloured sea shells you see in standard sea shell pics. Much like a clam in shape.

They are great to eat if you put them on a barbie plate
in their shell and let them cook in the own juices. Just wait to the shell opens, put a little lemon juice on them - beautiful.
