Been doing the garden work and came a cross a heap of large white grubs with a dark head and tail and small brown dots along the body, a bit of research seems to suggest they are "C" grubs. Any idea if they would be worth using as bait as one plant bed is full of em so would like to put them to use. Got a few good size earth worms as well so hopefully i can tempt some bream.

Had sugar cane mulch on the garden? They might be cane beetle grubs.

I think you will find the grubs are white curl grubs there seems to be a lot around at the moment.
The earth worms turn to mush when they hit the salt water.
