Conversely, why are earthworms better for freshwater bait??

Sandworms are a natural occuring organism in salt water as earthworms are naturally occuring to land around fresh non-saline bodies of water. Fish populations in either are inclined to feed only on naturally occuring food sources...not to mention the issue of viability of the bait, earthworms quickly perish in salt water and fresh water species will look at a sandworm and go "what the hell is that"! You may find some degree of flexibility in brackish areas. Keep the old saying in mind when choosing baits, " match the hatch" and you can't go wrong.

On Long Island's South Shore, if you turn over rocks along the saltwater back bay shoreline you find small sandworms. I remember way back when there were huge sandworms in Little Neck Bay on the North Shore. Now you need to go to Maine to find the huge ones. As far as earthworms they live near freshwater or any bit of ground that lacks salt water.

Well, i assume earthworms are more near fresh water, and sandworms are by the sea, or saltwater..alas..
