Odd looking grub and a toothy bugger

[CrayfishMates]

Picked these things up last Sunday off Atkinson Reef. The toothy one was quite long and slimy and I can find no reference in any of my books. The grubs swallowed hooks whole like they just sucked them in... [img size=500]http://www.australianfishing.com.au/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Fishing_Expedition_Dec0207_003sm.jpg

worm thing looks like a bristle worm, if you look it up in the forum search, you'll see a couple of different posts on them.

The first one looks like a bristle worm. To find the grinner in your book try looking up Lizard Fish (as they're part of the Lizard fish family) They're not a bad livie.

Yeap a Bristle Worm and a Grinner.

The Bristle Worms are annoying the way they swallow the hook. Then they can magically thred themselves off it and fall back into the water :dry:

Thanks guys.

Ellicat, I didnt know they make good livies, well I didnt know what it was. I may throw then next one out the stern with a hook in its tail to see what it produces. Thanks for the tip.

The bristle worm looked like it may give you and itch if touched. Any real concerns there?

You're definitely right CrayfishMates. The hairs give u a helluvan itch! I just tear them off my precious hook with my pliers. Tough buggers!
