Great video when i was younger and did lots of sea fishing on rocks and beaches, i used to just dig for my Lugworm and it took forever to get at least a dozen, then if Marine Lake in West Kirby had been drained we used to jump in there in your wellies and get loads of Ragworm, but not the small ones the big King Ragworm with the bigger nippers. Now with this pumping lark i would have made a fortune if i thought of it years ago. TC. Barry (Wirral)

Great to watch, description of that worm was a swimmer, in fact it was a yellow tail which is a juvenile BLACK LUG your know if you stick them live in shallow seawater they both curl up, obviously a blow lug just lie straight in seawater, I have the same problem on my beach that they are so mixed, literally not worth pumping, we rarely have the black lug like at BLACKPOOL, keep the good work up

Love this. Incredible how the advent of pumps has made this so much easier. I grew up collecting bait on the River Dee estuary flats and also long Moreton flats. We had to dig and dig hard and fast. Now it's become an art form. But I'm really curious about your comments about fresh lug not being as good for Flatties. This is a concept I'm exploring here in Australia, challenging conventional thinking. Nice video and look forward to seeing more.

Black lugworm that is a week old and much older is far better for dab fishing than fresh and that is an absolute fact.
@wellhookedWAАй бұрын
@@markpearcey-ph5nh But why is that? Do you think it is scent? We use berley down here (groundbait) as fish attractors and there are some weird and wonderful ingredients which go against logic, often in frozen berley logs or berley bombs. But they are all very, very smelly.

Hi, Really good video to say the least Pal, which has helped age my Sea Hog Trooper. This boat has been mine for about 19 years and its a 1998 Hog which has never let me down. Was hoping you could please help by telling me if possible, what type of tilt tube steering arm i need and also steering cable, as attemted to upgrade the old steering which entered the engin bay with a kind of straight rod and some kind of ball joint attached to a white plate, which went pair shape, and the steering cable going through the tilt tube was hitting the side of the engin bay and preventing me from turning the engin to port full lock. Also can not find the serial number on the Evinrude Jhonston 60hp outboard that is fitted to it so a bit lost at the moment. Any help would be much appreciated Pal. All the best Peter.

If I remember correctly it's a 13ft teleflex steering cable plus a splashwell mounting kit something like this www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204419490116?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=EJ60EJ9aToG&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=xO-CVNLxT3O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Hope that helps

Morning, Your spot on with the steering mount Pal, but thats what i have removed to try and upgrade by passing the cable through the outboard tilt tube and then using a tilt tube steering arm to connect up the other side of the cable with the hole in it when it exits the tilt tube on the outboard to inprove the steering.
