Hi Dave, I had the pleasure of meeting you on the beach, you gave me a lot of your time, which I really appreciate, instructing me on how to pump those lug. It was my first time and I was struggling at first, you make it look so easy, but with your valuable knowlege I started to get the hang of it. You also had a go of my pump and was getting worm after worm, at the same time you gave me your pump to have a go of, it was super smooth handling, like a Rolls Royce of pumps, I did manage to get a couple worms while using your pump. While you was instructng me on how to use the pump, you were very generous in giving me the worms that you were pumping at the time. You are a genuine nice man, I learned an awful lot and meeting you made my day. Thank you, hope to meet you on the beach again one day. All the best Russell
Hi Russell was great to meet you and put a face to a name its also nice to be able to help some one starting out bait pumping its not as easy as it looks the pump you have is good just need to change that seal as we talked about then your good to go .See you on the beach some time mate happy pumping👍😀👍
@@hastingsangler Hi Dave, I know the tides are not great this coming week, but i'm down Seaford way this Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, was wondering if I can get on Hastings or Prett Level beach, would it be worth it, will the tide go out enough, don't need many worms just want to get some practice in. I'm really itching to try some more bait pumping. What do you think. Will I be wasting my time. Thanks Russell.
Hi Russell the tides are very small you will have a job getting worms the next lot are not until September 16 or 17th if you come down the give me a shout il meet up again👍👍👍
@@hastingsangler Thanks Dave, will have to wait until then. I'll give you a shout September. Will bring me new copper pump I just built with the help from your informative videos. Can't wait to give the new pump a go, thanks again.
Hi Dave, It’s Russell met you on Pett Level beach you showed me how to bait pump. I made some silicone seals for the 22 mm copper pump I have made. They don’t fit to well. Need to make them with a hole in, don’t have enough drying time now. I’m coming down to Pret Level in the next few days, Was wondering if I could buy a couple of seals from you if I see you on the beach. Kind regards Russell
Oh mate!! I pump here too. We've probably crossed paths in the past. You ever fished for bass here? at low tide I mean.. :) Sometimes it can be an incredible session (I won't lie sometimes it's rubbish). For the seals in the pump I started using closed cell foam.. the stuff sold as garage mats in halfords works well. I used to cure that silicon sealant in the tube to make neat washers but for pumping it needed constant adjusting with the nut. I never squeeze the guts out of the worm. If the worm has split from the pump i'll chuck it to the gulls. A living worm outfishes a squeezed out one by miles in my experience at least for bass. Keeping them alive in water is a bit of a pain though! All the best..
Hi Mark we probably have mate i often wondered what the fishing is like there seen so many people fishing there but never caught yet another person told me it fishes well 1 day i will have to try😀👍😀 if im fishing low tide up and pumping worms i always keep the worms alive but i found them pesky eels love fresh worms lol tight lines mark👍😀
@@hastingsangler I don't mind a eel! I find it fishes well but only 1 hour either side of low and you need a long cast or an absolutely exhausting wade out. I've spoken to others who say the bass are right at your feet but honestly sometimes its like only a foot of water even 70 meters out and I haven't had any luck when so shallow. Night time is best but as you can imagine when the tide starts flooding in and you are out there in the pitch black it's not what you would call really chill fishing! If I see you out these I might come say hi!
I think my local beach pumping mark has been wiped out as there just aren’t any casts any more , just don’t get the quantity of casts you do. Superb video btw 👏👏👏
@Blupa. My local beaches in Hastings are poor very stoney that's wh I do the 26 mile round trip to Pett there's plenty good luck I hope u find a good patch
You make it look so easy😂 I'm going to try the tape and slacken of the pressure (mine feels hard to pump as I put too much pressure I think). Thanks for the tips.
Hi what type of washer do you use in your pump also loosen the washer right off then tighten untill you feel very slight pressure and start from there by adjusting quarter of a turn at a time good luck happy pumping
@hastingsangler There's a spot at the beach I'm going to and there were hundreds of casts, close together. Do you reckon that would be a good spot to fish when the tide is in? I mean, if I were a fish, I'd go there 😆
Great video. The internal rod on my pump seems to rust up between sessions so I'm constantly stripping it down, what sort of rod do you use in your pump? Thanks 👍
hi steve i use 316 or 304 stainless 8mm rods they do not rust sounds like you have a mild steel rod my friend bought 1 of ebay did not last long so i built him 1 happy pumping mate
I pump blow lug in the north east, simply because I don't know the difference from a blow cast and black lug cast. But the blows I've been getting have been huge 10" or so.
@@hastingsangler yeah I was out at winchelsea last night was a bit tough as I struggled getting past the first sand bar, just kept sinking it was so sloppy. You’re right about it changing though.
Hi mate ive tried and tried for those black lug but no joy,i do get plenty of blow lug.just wondering what distance do you put the tape and thanks for the video was interesting straight to the point.👍
Hi I think it all depends down on the south east 10" we do get it when they are shallow like that but depends on the weather as long as your getting them keep going 👍👍😂
@@hastingsangler yeah that’s it mate some days it’s hard work but others are good got myself a decent patch up here so I’m trynna get some for freezing for the winter and a few fresh ones for that days session
Hi Matt if im collecting bait in the morning for fishing the same evening i keep them alive in fresh sea water they will last all day to make them last a few days or more i gut them dry them out on paper then wrap in paper then put in the fridge if dried well they will last all week hope this helps tight lines
hi what size thread and how long is the shaft best thing you could do is what i use to do is get a mate to cut rod flush then weld a m6 or m8 bolt on the end works a treat👍
@@hastingsangler ok im Pevensey Bay area, I think it is stainless I have a stainless bolt gonna see if I can find somewhere to weld it thank you.. most appreciated..
hi richard i bet you was going past the worm i had a guy who wanted a 1.1 mtr pump he was same height as me 5.11 so i asked him to try the 1mtr big dif in the angle did not have to put the pump in at a funny angle because it was too long got on great with the shorter pump👍👍
Nice one pal 👏👏was out last night pumping up here..got about 50 and then the heavens opened 🫣at least I got enough for this Saturday 🤞🎣 take care bud 👍

hi steven i have pumped thousands but never get bored of it great fun not so much in the winter months👍😀👍
Another cracking video Dave.
Hi brian thanks mate hope its all going well tight lines 👍😀👍
We used to catch mud prawns like this but with a much bigger bore tube.
I think that's where the idea came from every 1who had a pump in the UK used a 2* pump and it's been slowly made smaller with practice thank god lol
Thanks for sharing that mate, nice one.
No problem 👍

hi blupa where abouts are you sometimes they just dont show then the weather changes and bang they are there thank for posting
@@hastingsangler I’m in the north west mate, last 3 times I’ve been there’s been hardly any casts. I’m going to have to find somewhere else I guess 👍
@Blupa. My local beaches in Hastings are poor very stoney that's wh I do the 26 mile round trip to Pett there's plenty good luck I hope u find a good patch
Great video really helpful ,thank you, do you lubricate your pump with oil or washing up liquid?
Hi with the seals i make i just use sea water and the wet sand no lub reqd
You make it look so easy😂 I'm going to try the tape and slacken of the pressure (mine feels hard to pump as I put too much pressure I think). Thanks for the tips.
Hi what type of washer do you use in your pump also loosen the washer right off then tighten untill you feel very slight pressure and start from there by adjusting quarter of a turn at a time good luck happy pumping
Going for my first ever pump tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed
Wish you the best of luck 🤞

@@cocospops9351 i would have to say yes plenty of natural bait hope the bait pumping went well tight lines
Do you choose specific casts or do you do any ?
Maybe do a video on it ?
Hi with so many cast on the sand I don't worry which to pump I find the smaller casts sometimes hide the bigger worms
Excellent video bro 😊
Hi thank you👍👍
Hi great vid, going to get a pump and have ago, due you have to gut the worms?
@@simoned01se hi if your using them the same day no but if you want to wrap them then yes otherwise you will have a slimy mess
Great vid again mate

Hi dave i would not worry if they are that big lol worms a worm in my book good luck happy pumping 👍😀👍
Black lug casts are normally neat MR Wippy casts whereas blow lug are normally messy and have a secondary hole as they live in a U shape burrow.
@@Nohandleneeded101 hi I get so many tell me about lugworm where I pump they are mixed and I get enough for what I need thank you
@@hastingsangler yeah I was out at winchelsea last night was a bit tough as I struggled getting past the first sand bar, just kept sinking it was so sloppy. You’re right about it changing though.
Thanks lads, got a mixture on Wednesday and most were huge. Just took enough for my session that day.
You make it look so easy at the moment I get mostly tails😢. But I will keep going hopping it will just click into place at some point.
Hi try the tape tip works fine at Bexhill just the stones that drive me 😡 👍👍
Hi try the tap tip it works on Bexhill beach the stones drive me 😡 keep trying your get it right happy pumping 👍👍
Hi mate ive tried and tried for those black lug but no joy,i do get plenty of blow lug.just wondering what distance do you put the tape and thanks for the video was interesting straight to the point.👍
@pennybeacham6461 hi penny I put the tape about 10" up the pump that seems to work all along our part of the coast good luck penny👍👍
Do the depths very depending on how course the sand is mate , I’m hitting mine about 4-5 inches consistent up on the east coast of Scotland
Hi I think it all depends down on the south east 10" we do get it when they are shallow like that but depends on the weather as long as your getting them keep going 👍👍😂

@brianrooney6916 sounds like a plan don't want to be out there in the winter lol
@@hastingsangler that’s what I’m thinking 😂👍
How do u store the bait for a few days or for an evening session if collecting in the morning
Hi Matt if im collecting bait in the morning for fishing the same evening i keep them alive in fresh sea water they will last all day to make them last a few days or more i gut them dry them out on paper then wrap in paper then put in the fridge if dried well they will last all week hope this helps tight lines
Mint, I need a go on ur beach 😊😊
You could if you was local to Hastings 👍👍
@@hastingsangler or I drive down 6 hours 😄
@@jon-yb9fr you live a long way away my friend 👍👍
@@hastingsangler I do but will visit one day, keep my eyes open for u 👍
@@jon-yb9fr if you ever do come down pop over and say hello mate👍👍👍
Did I see correctly that you squeeze, the intestines etc. out of, the worms? Is that so they stay fresh longer of something?
Hi by squeezing the guts out of them it stops them going bad and staying fresh for longer when wrapped in paper
Hi do you do repairs as the thread has snapped on main shaft 😢
hi what size thread and how long is the shaft best thing you could do is what i use to do is get a mate to cut rod flush then weld a m6 or m8 bolt on the end works a treat👍
@@hastingsangler I think it's a m6 , 10mm nut 1 mtr long shaft
@summerkirsty just get a M6 bolt get it welded on unless Ur local to hastings
@@hastingsangler ok im Pevensey Bay area, I think it is stainless I have a stainless bolt gonna see if I can find somewhere to weld it thank you.. most appreciated..
If Ur at pevensey I can pick it and make new thread will take a few days I work all over Eastbourne sussex
Is this a home made pump or shop bought?
Hi I make my own pumps copper or stainless but only 22mm and my own seals too
Make it look so.easy. do you do lessons lol
