Moving to Santa Monica Area - Where to Get Lugworms?

[tbae]

Can anyone let me know where I can buy live lugworms in the Santa Monica area?

I'm moving there soon and a quick Google search indicated not many bait and tackle shops in the area except for the shop at the end of the SM pier (which I'm not sure if they sell lugworms).

Thanks in advance.

following. I get most my bait from Martin's Tackle Shop in Los Angeles but I haven't found live bait yet. I usually catch mine.

I'll have to check on the shop at the end of the Santa Monica Pier.

Ginny at Wylie's in Malibu usually has lug worms.

Thanks for the info - Any success catching lugworms on Santa Monica Beach? If so, what are things to look out for in the sand to dig for them?

Forgot to ask - are there any laws against digging for lugworms/sand crabs on Santa Monica Beach? I have a fishing license but not sure if this area is a marine protected area...thanks in advance
