Lol you can come bait digging with me any time lol you do the work i get the worm.

difference between black and the mroe common blow lug would be black lug are found at the low tide mark, have a straight or j shaped burrow while blow will have a u shaped burrow.

If it's black lug it will leave a yellowish stain on your hands after touching them.
