Yeh the Bastards!

I went thru the same sorta ordeal last yr losing my worming fork from the back of the ute.
I bought several (4) replacements since and finally found one that was up to the task at a price.

Thanks mate I read the whole thread trying to picture a bloody fork for catching beach worms, only now does this thread make sense

you bananabenders do things differently up your way.The fork we use to dig bloodworms is a hoe fork - shaped like a hoe but with prongs instead of a blade.A trench is started and then work along the face,pulling the mud back towards you into the hole made by the previous stroke.We obtain our bloodworms from the mud around mangroves and it is extremely difficult to dig this mud with a conventional garden fork.The suction created by the mud is too great.When you have a vertical face in the trench it is much easier - strike the hoe into the mud about 30cm from the edge and then pull towards yourself - no lifting involved.

Hi Mick we can do that here as well but are not allowed to use a hoe or a fork must be done with the hands i am told and i am pretty heavy so would get bogged in the mud
