Default Big bug eating the roots

Quite a few of my plants have been looking less good than they used to, and when fruiting have barely made it to ripe bunch time. I had put it down to a soaking wet winter and my inattention to fertilising. However on cutting down some of the plants because of their poor condition, the roots have been drilled by several somethings that leave a half inch hole. We couldn't find the culprit. K J - you are in my neck of the woods - have you seen anything like this and if so, do you know how to get rid of it? There appeared to be no drill holes on the outside of the trunk that we could see.
