How to pump lugworm 101 

This is the absolute best description on youtube of how to do it.. good man much appreciated you take the time your a good teacher keep it up.

This video is so good my biology prof recommended it to the class today and posted a link for the whole class. Its so cool to see their burrows. I want to go catch lugworms now.

Billy, by far the most comprehensive explanation of pumping worm. Thanks so very much for your excellent work.

Thanks Billyfishing. You are the only one I have found who has taken the time to explain how to set the pump up and given the information needed to avoid days of effort and very painful blisters. Sometimes I can get 10 worms out of ten, sometimes not one out of 100. Now I know why. Top man!

Hi Billy, bought myself a pump and getting better every trip. Id say its paid for itself already. Perseverance definitlely pays off. Thanks again.

Brilliant watch. I bought the same pump as you and never used it. I'm going to give it a go on Sunday using all the tips in the video. Thanks👍🎣🎣

Absolute magic, as stated by others best video on RU-vid on how and what conditions to pump for blow worm, well done sir.

man it took me ages to finally find a video that took the time to explain and do it properly. thank you Billyfishing your a legend.

Great video Billy excellent tutorial. Think I have been going too deep into the burrow on the first try. Will definitely try your way. Lots told me you couldnt pump blow but you have just proved them all wrong well done bud subbed

Very interesting and highly informative. I have fished and dug lug since 1985. Didn’t even know they had Gills! Fine video Thanks

Cheers Billy, A great lesson in the art of pumping lug. looking forward to putting it into practice.

Brilliant video. The best lugworm pumping video I've found and watched on RU-vid. Cant wait to see how you freeze the blow lug. This is something i really struggle with - keeping the lugworm in good condition and not wasting them. Thanks for this vid its very very informative 👍👍

Cracking video Billy. I was always told you can't pump blow lug but you shattered that myth. Cheers,I'm off out next decent tide to try it out.thanks fella.

Thanks very much, just paid for my first pump and this video was really welcome, I can't wait to get it and start what you showed :)

Was contemplating a pump. Having watched your video i think i will. Thanks for the great how to demonstration .👏

Best video by far on bait pumping.Explained and shown in an easy way to follow.👍👍

Great detailed video Billy !! clearly shows the differences between pumping for blow lug versus yellowtails and blacks. It was'nt that long ago that people insisted that you couldnt pump blow lug

Best vid on pumping worm I've seen ....thanks for sharing and the sound advice 👍🏻👍🏻

This is excellent…..you have put together the best video for lug pumping … well done

Great video Billy, best I've seen so far I've watched, only found out about these pumps short while ago, and going to build my own pump, hopefully this weekend, Thank you 👍

Great tutorial Billy. A lot of prep and info. Fair play. Subscribed.

That video was perfect mate, really informative, clearly explained, friendly. Perfect. Just wanted to say great video.

Hi Billy. Awesome video, very informative and helpful. Unfortunately I got sepsis and nearly died so I wont be fishing again until probably the cod season so I'm going to try and put into practice what you were saying many thanks. I really enjoy watching your video's as I learn a lot from them eg pendulum casting I was learning to pendulum cast and I was on Eastbourne beach and I had a lead fly off course down the beach parallel with the sea and a family with 2 young children happened to be walking along so I never did it again. I did however cast off the ground ok but haven't done any sea fishing for nearly 20 years but I plan to get back into it after replacing my tackle as I had most of it stolen twice.

Hi Billy! I just bought a pump, your experience and explanations will surely help me using it correctly. Thanks for this video! Take care!

My wife bought me a bait pump back in 1998 (never been used) every time I go collecting I always reach for the fork. This is without doubt the best bait pump "how to" on youtube. I'm not going digging anymore I'm going pumping, Watch out Sligo bay here I come! 😁

great video mate !!!! you have a brilliant manner for how to videos you explain things very clearly and have good knowledge of the subject , I just ordered a pump and this video will be watched a few times 👌tight lines bro💪

Excellent Billy have been trying to get the hang off pumping for about 3 years now. Even broke 2 pumps. So I made one myself first time out got 2 🪱worms in 2 pumps then back to normal 10 in a hour. Hope to go out tomorrow a have another go. I will get there in the end. Thanks for for your tips. Steve

Amazing video, made is so easy to understand. I've got my first bait pump on ordered, I'm in North Wales, so quite a few good lug beaches.

Superb video! Great photography, explanation and demonstration. Thank you for posting.

Brilliant Billy well done Best explained video yet Cheers mate ...

I live in Indiana. I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to the ocean. I still find this video very interesting. Keep up the great work!

Another great video billy great size lug worm up your way looking to the next video 🎣see you on the beach 😊

Great video Billy 👍, this has to be the best pumping lug tutorial video I've ever seen 👌👍👏👏👏

Excellent video , thanks for taking the time to explain this 👍🙏

I bought a pump over 20 years ago and i only ever got a couple of worms with it and then gave up and went back to the fork. To be honest I didn't really know how to use it. I saw people using fairy liquid for their pumps to help with suction. I will now pass my pump onto my son and show him this great vid. Thanks for posting. 😃👍

The best video ive seen on this subject,tried it the other day & done ok,saves my crappy back no end👍

great video, very helpful as ive bought a pump to have ago,,cheers

Love this method... It is how I get clams .Now I will use it for other baits as well ...Thank you this idea!!! HAPPY FISHING!!!!!

An excellent explanation. Thank you.

Great video. Really informative. Thank you!

The baitpumps actually work ! I built my own pump and did my second try today and caught an easy 30something :) fishin in the morning . Great tutorial this Here !

Excellent video. Thank you.

Great info, brilliantly delivered (as per normal) Given you a sub 👍

Brilliant video was wondering if you could pump for them saves my back with a dam fork. Where do you get pump?

I never knew such a thing existed. Useful information about the worms habits too. I should get one because I'm too old for digging many. Nice one!

I have always dug mine with a spade, Must get a pump, thanks for the video.

Very interesting Billy - thanks!

Loved the Video Billy keep It up 👍👍

Hi watch all your videos, most enjoyable. What size and manufacturers pump do you recommend.

A Big hand for Billy , best video about a pump 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻I was doing it wrong 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really good and informative. Thanks.

Great video Billy, any chance of a tutorial on how to freeze/preserve the blow lug...I've heard people say blow lug won't freeze as well as black lug. Great channel, keep up the good work!

Great Vid Billy Thanks

what a lovely helpful chap..

Excellent video, perfect level of detail. Would you recommend the alvey pump?

Thank you for the video! It increasingly piques my interest to collect my own bait! Tight lines!

Very interesting never pumped before use to dig my own when i was younger. Its easier to bye them now.

@Billyfishing Who supplies pumps in Ireland ???? Great stream buddy thanks 👍👍👍

Brilliant video - thanks

Great video Buddy...Thanks for sharing

Cracking video especially about if sand is to dry

Explained really well. Cheers pal

Do you rinse the pump afterwards and what other maintenance is needed like the valve replacement etc.

Excellent video Thankyou very much, I am off to the beach now.

Alright auld bean, amazing again ! Can I ask you what size of bait pump is best 22mm 28mm 50mm cheers brother

Subbed. Excellent video, thanks, Billy, and greetings from Denmark.

Fantastic video, thank you for so much valuable information. Could you do a video on salting and freezing the lugs? Tried freezing them before with little success as they were very fragile then I defrosted them

Thanks for posting this awesome video. Just wondering if this works in shallow water. I live in Sweden and we dont get tide like u guys. But we got lots of beaches with shallow waters. A couple of days ago I saw several signs of lug worms so Im curious if your technique would work. Cheers

Hi Billy great content very natural delivery, can you tell me, if I pump worm to use the same day should I gut them? If I want to keep them for a few days, should I gut them? I know to gut them if salting. Thanks 👍

Great video Billy, what make of pump is that

Going getting some lugworm weekend using a fork, am I right in thinking if the worm is damaged it will be no good for bait? Great video BTW.

Great wee vid. Tank you !

Brilliant video Billy,wish i had one of these forty years ago.Billy would you have any suggestion of what fishing gear for beginers as I can't fly fish anymore.Thanks Kev.

Brilliant video thanks pal

great tutorial thanks

Great video Billy!!! So much information!! Any advice on the best diameter of pump to use??

Brilliant vid. TY

Absolutely amazing tutorial very detailed and the explanation was perfect! But I must ask what are these used for as far as bait?

Great vid Billy thanks :P

Nice one Billy 👍 I never knew the hairy bits were gills. Huge worming tides for me next week, I get as much or more satisfaction from a bucket of worms than most of my fishing trips haha 🐛🐛🐛
