[@davetaylor526]

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

[@Nohandleneeded101]

Cracking video, what’s your thoughts on copper vs stainless? I’ve pumped using both started with copper then went to stainless but I feel the copper is nicer to use 🤷‍♂️

[@hastingsangler]

for me copper is the way to go suction is so much better stainless is over rated

[@thefishman2020]

Picked ya up there buddy

[@hastingsangler]

Thank you very much hope you enjoy tight lines🎣🎣🐟

[@hastingsangler]

ive done the same good luck

[@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

[@CharlotteGreen-kv9sx]

Hi iam stu I have a pump but it's tight pulling back up at the bottom is a wing nut will it poss be to tight the nut I go blackpool for lugging thank you stu

[@hastingsangler]

Hi it sounds like its too tight i would get rid of the wingnut and just put a nut on the end wingnuts tend to loosen up or tighten what size pump is it

[@CharlotteGreen-kv9sx]

@@hastingsangler poss bit bigger than yours mine from shop second hand but working but really tight to pull up I'll try that change the wing nut

[@hastingsangler]

I would check to see if it has black tap washers they are horrible

[@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

[@Andysfishon]

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.👍🏻

[@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

[@hastingsangler]

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

[@RONALDel2oz]

@@hastingsangler i’m in Ashford, I can meet you in Hastings? When you pump next time, Ron

[@hastingsangler]

are u ok week days im on holiday next week or this sunday but it will be early start or monday

[@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

[@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
