Hi All can anyone give me any tips?

i,m clueless when it comes to pumping give me a spade and its no problem any way i,m sure there is to be a meet soon where you can learn to pump then use what you have pumped for a fishing session or if you can try and arrange to meet rob , ron or chris (all good guys) up at blackpool i,m sure they will be only to happy to show you how its done andy

Sorry about this, I'm useless when it comes to pumping and digging . I'd rather pay £2-£3 for 10, far easier and cleaner Try and arrange a word with Buck2003. Hemight be able to help

Hoping your pump is a long slim one Clive (like the Alvey 30mm bore x 95cm long). Anything less in length, or wider in bore makes it hard work.

Your best bet is to come over to Blackpool/Cleveleys on a very low tide and a few of us will join you to show you how it's done.
I'm no expert, but with tuition from Chris, Frank, Rob and Tim I'm confident I can now at least provide my own bait.

Ianb1303 is right, it's dirty work, probably very cold and uncomfortable in winter, but very rewarding when in a couple of hours you've dug all the bait you need for several fishing sessions.

PM me when you're going to give it a try.

Many big boys want to play wi the toy on the sand

I've had a play with a big one on the sand, there is a nack too it, you have to support it well and put some elbow grease into it otherwise nothing happens, i suppose with a different one the stroke will be less but harder, i don't know, i've only done it once.
Practice makes perfect.

When you've seen Buck2003 and Darth_codhead pump on a good worm bed, you'll realise that guy is a rank amateur!

On a good bed last week I saw worm casts at about 2 foot apart....... and the lads were looking for the biggest and fattest coils where they were pulling out 16" long worms with every pull.

As a softie, I'll use thin latex surgical gloves as the iodine from the worms stains your hands for several days.

I'm going out today to catch the 12 o'clock low tide, not the best at 2.2 m but should get a good few. If you can make it, you're welcome to join me.

Hiya Clive,

It looks like you have got the exact same one as Frank first got. The ones they use now are a lot slimmer and lighter and can pump once for a worm. The one you have is heavy and takes a couple of pumps for one worm. Frank struggled with it and so did Chris, also our boys had a go and found it hard work too. Have a go though, but do have a word with Buck2003 & Chris as to the best way.
