19 hours of lure fishing and finally I get some success this season. Not 1 but 2 within half an hour. Both taken off the surface and in great style. The smaller second fish spent ages jumping and thrashing around on the surface

We saw this strange worm swimming just below the surface, I managed to get hold of it and take a pic. It was 15 inches long and was almost white whilst swimming in the water. I haven't got a clue what it is. Any ideas?

Good going Sean mate - I've yet to break out the lures (of any kind!) yet this summer but would love to get a few spikeys on them this season.

Cheers, Gary

ps. Not sure about the worm - possibly some kind of ribbon worm??

If it was really slimey I think what you found was a green leaf worm Sean mate. I've found quite when rockpooling with the kids. It looks like a rag worm underneath. I've found them really dark green and really light green but almost white underneath. They leave an iodine mark on your hands if you hold them for a while as my youngest daughter found out. They look amazing in the water but will turn your bucket to slime if left in there for a while as we also found out. They seem to stretch when out of water and I've had them up to about 2-3 ft long! Here's a link to a great site if unsure about anything you find:-

It was indeed very slimey, looks like you're onto a winner there Darren. There isn't much in the sea that I haven't come across and it's nice to tick something else off the list.

Glad I can help lol. It's nice when that happens mate. We recently came across a sea hare. Never seen one before and niether had any of the old guys from Whitburn Angling Club and they've been on them local rocks since they were kids. I took my daughters out the next day and we seen 6 or 7. Horrible looking things.

its a old post i know, but have to say that worm is a bootlace worm, longest marine animal, longest aminal in the world, can be longer than a blue whale. Biggest found was just at our culler coats =}
