Nice worms brother Billy. I am still working on the pumping did get a hundred last week.have a new pump now from the Hastings angler. Magic.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi. Nice to hear the pumping is going well for you. But in Norway they don't work at all, at least I haven't found a place where you can use them to affect! A spade a fork will always get the job done! Thanks brother glad you liked it 😁👌

[@trampster7306]

Nice info Bill! Used to net sandeels in a local estuary for bait with a big seine net, but not done much bait digging. Too old and no longer well enough to wield a shovel or fork in anger! Stay safe & well Brother. 👍👍

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Trampbudy, all the best 😁👌

[@geef9027]

That's a handy tip Billy, I'll definitely give that a go when I next go digging. Cheers 👍👍

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Graham, hope it helps out 😁👌

thanks Billy another great video, some corkers there 👍

[@garriewilliamson689]

I will have to try that. Great stuff Billy 👍🏾

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Anytime Garri, always good to have lots of bait! Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@Rogalandfishingadventure]

Cheers Billy, quick and to the point ! i like it :) always full of tips ;) i just bought a new bait pump and not tried pumping yet in Stavanger , so i think i better bring the auld fork too just to be on the safe side :) thanks once again for the tips

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Hi. I have never been able to pump worms in Norway, unfortunately! The sand is just not fine enough, but somewhere there must be a place. So I have learned just to dig them. And as it goes, is usually pretty easy here. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@seafishingjunky733]

Great all round bait billy ,they catch a lot of fish , that beach as some killer plaice bait right there,nice billy👌🇳🇴

[@drumcondraapache521]

My Dad would have loved where you were digging for lug so many in one spot . Cant remember where we use to go for lug back in the 70s as a nipper with the Dad probably baldoyle behind the wall .But for peeler crab from the Burrow as well . Jasus remember chasing my sister with big jack crabs around that beach . Now see what your video has done to me bringing back great memories , Anyway keep up the good work ps who was the camera person . Hope it was the Missus , Up the Dubs

[@Billyfishing_watch]

You can't beat good fat lug like that! Pat. No wonder your Da would have loved it! Not exactly a wifey, more like a camera woman 😅 thanks brother 😁👌

[@michastec6766]

No fancy two piece showel?!

[@Billyfishing_watch]

If there was one! I would not buy it 😅 thanks brother 😁👌

[@adrianbryant7342]

Certainly some tidy sized lug there my friend 😊

[@Billyfishing_watch]

They sure are! Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@ananyaratnakaran391]

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks bud! Do you get worms like that?

[@kevinbuckler1085]

Cracking worms mate 🐟🎣

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Thanks Kevin! Now let's see what they catch 😁👌

[@davidbradley6681]

That's how the marshes in my area used to be back in the days they were so prolific I don't go there anymore it's to hard work for so few worms and a long walk out as well,don't know if it's nitrates washing off the land or what 😢

[@Billyfishing_watch]

It is a sad story, only too common these days. What a shame. Thanks brother 👍

[@jozsefronai9875]

I too hate wasting money on bait we get 10 rag for 4 quid and 10 black lug for 3 50 thats 6 casts on a 3 hook flapper and the dog fish love them ❤

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Somebody's making money! Always best if you can get it yourself. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@hakenbiegerchris9255]

Here in Lindesnes i´ve tested lugworm against "reker" a few times and the reker won the battle every time. But its difficult to find decent amounts of lugworm here because the lack of tidal zones. So maybe the fish just dont know these type of food here.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

My experience has been different . Because I do really well around the fjords with lugworm in that area! Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@dazzer273]

Iv never been able to dig decent rag and no one will help show or tell me where to get them, despite probably only digging bait less than 10 sessions per year. As for lug I have my spot and don’t claim it it’s a public place for all and I happily tell fellow fishermen. I once dig a black lug that was the length of the top of my big finger to my elbow, a giant 😳

Hi bud . Just follow the link! Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@dazzer273]

@@Billyfishing_watch great to watch this video again, I often only find harbour rag and the odd white rag so perhaps I need to dig further out

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@dazzer273 also maybe try somewhere new! People who have their ragworm spots never want to share. And this is because people mistreat the the worm beds 👌

[@stephenbrown783]

Brother Billy some nice worms and massive casts. Excellent quality video bother.

[@williammcdonald3293]

That's some pretty loose sand you got there, makes it easier to dig Lugs than an Irish typical strand, where You have to use a pump or fork instead of a shovel. How does your back feel after that nice workout? Nice Lug's.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Actually the ground is filled with rocks so it's pretty hard going. But there was plenty of worms. Thanks Brother 😁👌

[@Garou0410]

Hi Billy. Now you are going to show us what you catch with them, right? Buon apetito 👋

[@Billyfishing_watch]

That's the plan! Thanks brother 😁👌

[@kamelkamel3077]

maczenie tekstu za pomocą aparatu Hello Billy, is this worm different from the European 15 cm long worm that comes out of the ground after dark and is caught only at night?

[@DelDredd]

Your talking about a normal Lob worm got from your lawn, LugWorm like Ragworm are only found in saltwater areas in sand and mud hence the gills. Your normal Earth Worms and Lob Worms do not have gills.

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Yes it is! This worm is the marine equivalent of an earthworm . They live in the sand underneath the water. And have gills like a fish! And they are fantastic bait for most fish in Europe. Thanks Brother 😁👌

You must be well north now with reindeer in the background!

I'm sitting here on a Co Antrim beach watching this, successfully blanking g with a wrap of 10 frozen black lug that cost me a tenner. Unfortunately no worm to dig on this beach

[@Billyfishing_watch]

Such a shame about the worms! And the fishing! Maybe you should take your 10 quid, and buy yourself a nice piece of monkfish 😅 thanks brother 😁👌

[@roddorman8292]

@Billyfishing_watch it's right what you say, but then it's a lovely night for sitting on the beach

[@Billyfishing_watch]

@roddorman8292 I am sure it is, it's never time wasted! Just money 😁👌

[@Desaura]

I also fish the Co. Antrim beaches( Ballygally tomorrow) and like you, have been blanking almost everytime. We're not the only ones though as anyone I've been speaking to say basically the same thing, Antrim coast is shocking, well waterfoot isn't as bad. Where ya fishing atm?

[@roddorman8292]

@Desaura Glenarm tonight, nowt not even a chewed bait. Two hours either side high water. Going Benone if we get a good day this week.

[@chrisbree3467]

Certainly no shortage of worms there Billy 🐟🇳🇴

[@Billyfishing_watch]

No Chris, and they're very easy to dig up here as well. Thanks Brother 😁👌
