    Thanks Billyfishing. You are the only one I have found who has taken the time to explain how to set the pump up and given the information needed to avoid days of effort and very painful blisters.
    Sometimes I can get 10 worms out of ten, sometimes not one out of 100. Now I know why. Top man!

      That it exactly, and it not just pumping. Digging is the same. So the common denominator was tide and weather. Thanks Brother 👍😁

    My wife bought me a bait pump back in 1998 (never been used) every time I go collecting I always reach for the fork. This is without doubt the best bait pump "how to" on youtube. I'm not going digging anymore I'm going pumping, Watch out Sligo bay here I come! 😁

Unfortunately I got sepsis and nearly died so I wont be fishing again until probably the cod season so I'm going to try and put into practice what you were saying many thanks. I really enjoy watching your video's as I learn a lot from them eg pendulum casting I was learning to pendulum cast and I was on Eastbourne beach and I had a lead fly off course down the beach parallel with the sea and a family with 2 young children happened to be walking along so I never did it again. I did however cast off the ground ok but haven't done any sea fishing for nearly 20 years but I plan to get back into it after replacing my tackle as I had most of it stolen twice.

      Hi Derek. It doesn't matter what pump you use and the 34mm is good. Just make sure it's not the old short fat ones! I don't think the 28mm is good for this type of worm. Just search lug worm pump, and there should be lots to choose from. Thanks Brother 😁👌

      I found years ago that blow lug with thin skin didn't freeze well. Skin was too thin. However, the blow lug that were black froze very well.
      They need to dry off on newspaper, wrap them like black lug and freeze. Make sure they are air tight so they don't get freezer burn.
      I used to use regular gutted blow lug like this...
      Gut, spread on a couple of layers of newspaper, fold them into a parcel. , Leave them in a cold fridge.. They'll last a week and go off just enough to be a bit sticky....always caught on them.

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  Před 2 lety +1

      Hi. it's funny that you should ask, because that is why I started using the pump in the first place. The tide didn't go out very much a where I was. most of time it was just shallow water, and answer to your question yes it does work in shallow water. just use exactly the same technique it takes a little bit longer because you have to wait for the sand to settle before you can see the worms sometimes. Hope it works out for you see you on the beach 👍😁

      if you have never used a pump to collect your bait then the diameter of the pump is also important because I assume that you need to gain experience pumping your worms i saw in other videos here about pumps with a diameter 5cm i assume the bigger the diameter the easier it is in the beginning
