guide to bait pumping fresh lugworms

In this guide, i hope to show you Simple Tips to Help you get More Lugworms When Bait Pumping. From the basics of bait pumping to more advanced techniques, we'll cover everything in this beginner's guide to bait pumping fresh lugworms.
If you're new to bait pumping and want to get started quickly, this guide is for you. I will walk you through the process of bait pumping. By the end of this guide, you'll be pumping fresh lugworms like a pro! pump your own bait for those beach or boat fishing trips and save your self money
Hasting's beach is sandy at low tide also a lot of stones mixed in LOL and can easily destroy your pump. If you can make yourself up a little box of spares to take down the beach with you or take a spare pump if possible
This is what i use
I use a 22mm copper bait pump
also a spare pump
10mm socket for adjusting pump pressure
spare pump seals + nuts
18 Litre bucket great for washing worms afterwards

great video, ive watch your bait pumping related vids and ill be giving it ago again with my version of your copper built pumps. i bought about 30yrs ago one of those stainless alvey pumps with a 2inch bore and used it at winchelsea beach , got a few but bloody knackered after 30 mins.

[@hastingsangler]

Hi dave them pumps were great when they first come out but i found them 2" pumps are very short and hard work to use. As long as you get the worm and enough to go fishing Tight lines Dave

[@pikefisherman1978]

Great video, really helpful. I've just got a Flashmer stainless steel bait pump, looking forward to free bait.

[@hastingsangler]

i wish you good luck with your new pump and all that free bait tight lines

@bbr9707 thEy are big tides starting from tomorrow so il be down all week hope to meet u

[@fym125]

Does air pressure and wind direction have effect on worm casts and depth?. If so what are preferred conditions.

[@hastingsangler]

Hi definitely pressure plays a big part has it gets colder I find the worms go a bit deeper and not so many cast show as for weather I find a good sw wind helps them show more now is the time it gets harder I have had day in the winter where I have not seen a cast good luck

[@thefishman616]

Picked ya up there buddy

[@jc301-OTECH]

Best explanation Mt.. Cheers .. Where about was that just left of the pier ? One question; is any low tide Good or is it only the lowest of the month

[@hastingsangler]

Hi if your just digging enough to go fishing you can normally get enough on alot of the small tides bathing pool is a good spot in close to the beach just have to allow for a few stones

Can I ask a question, do you gut blacks and blow lug as I’ve been told only blacks.

[@hastingsangler]

Hi Andy you can gut both but after watching your video which i enjoyed just because the worms are smaller does not mean they are blow lug keep it up andy looked good

[@Andysfishon]

@@hastingsangler thank you.👍🏻

[@nicksparkes1378]

Can you get blacks pn any size tide ??

[@hastingsangler]

Hi it all depends where you pump on my local beaches on the small tide we get the small worms with the occasional big 1 but most of the decent worms come on the bigger tides winter time is the hardest time for worming

[@nicksparkes1378]

@hastingsangler do you pump them commercially or just for yourself im trying to get hold of 100 fresh for 26 feb

[@hastingsangler]

@nicksparkes1378 hi I only now dig the big tides when the needed as I work full time do you live local to Hastings 100 worms is not a problem I average about 4/5000 a week when digging lol

[@nicksparkes1378]

@hastingsangler no i live in iceland but will be in grimsby on 26th feb for the eobc on holderness coast . Trying to find someone who can post them to grimsby but its going to be hard to get any fresh with the tides down grimsby way

[@RONALDel2oz]

I’ve had a pump for 12 months I’m struggling to get a worm. Would it be possible you could show me how to do it thanks, Ron

If you live in the hastings area not a problem big tides this week so would be a good time to learn

[@freddieboxingattkof8111]

Years ago when i went bait digging i might see one other person , two at the most now if i went pumping might be a dozen or more , beds where people were reguarly pumping a 1000 worms a tide now your scratching to find casts , find it pretty sad , the fella that actually invented that 22mm pump was local to me bet he wished he had patented it lol

[@hastingsangler]

Hi I agree digging with a spade was a skill and the worm beds were full of quality worms .the bait pump I think has killed of the worms any one can try now with some success I've been down there on really big tides and not a worm in sight just sand now if you find a good spot you have to keep it quite

[@freddieboxingattkof8111]

@@hastingsangler yeah i know bud think im just getting old and nostalgic , much simpler world back then i rarely use lug these days , pulling in dogfish after dogfish every chuck u can chuck any old bait on lmao i still have the odd session using the old spade passed down from me dad digging razor which is one thing the masses aint cottoned on to lol

[@stephenwilson2951]

Worms and there beds are getting decimated Romney Bay getting slaughtered

[@hastingsangler]

i must admit the worms are not like they use to be only good thing is winter time they get a chance to recoup and the small tides will help a bit

[@colinbrown4719]

@@hastingsanglersurely it’s just a case of farming ?, like a farmer has fields One Growing , one Fallow ( or more ? ). So the answer is divide the beach up and ban the bait digging for one year in section 1 , allow bait digging in section 2 etc , etc, etc, swap over the banned area of bait digging the following year , it is not rocket science .

[@hastingsangler]

@colinbrown4719 theres some good points there but with only a few real big tides a year somewhere sand beds don't get touched for years and the sand is always moving every day the beach looks different.they are on about bringing a license out for commercial diggers and for the normal fisherman a limit of 200woems per tide
