    Nice worms brother Billy. I am still working on the pumping did get a hundred last week.have a new pump now from the Hastings angler. Magic.

      Hi. Nice to hear the pumping is going well for you. But in Norway they don't work at all, at least I haven't found a place where you can use them to affect! A spade a fork will always get the job done! Thanks brother glad you liked it 😁👌

    Nice info Bill! Used to net sandeels in a local estuary for bait with a big seine net, but not done much bait digging. Too old and no longer well enough to wield a shovel or fork in anger! Stay safe & well Brother. 👍👍

      Hi. I have never been able to pump worms in Norway, unfortunately! The sand is just not fine enough, but somewhere there must be a place. So I have learned just to dig them. And as it goes, is usually pretty easy here. Thanks Brother 😁👌

    My Dad would have loved where you were digging for lug so many in one spot . Cant remember where we use to go for lug back in the 70s as a nipper with the Dad probably baldoyle behind the wall .But for peeler crab from the Burrow as well . Jasus remember chasing my sister with big jack crabs around that beach . Now see what your video has done to me bringing back great memories , Anyway keep up the good work ps who was the camera person . Hope it was the Missus , Up the Dubs

    Here in Lindesnes i´ve tested lugworm against "reker" a few times and the reker won the battle every time. But its difficult to find decent amounts of lugworm here because the lack of tidal zones. So maybe the fish just dont know these type of food here.

    @dazzer273 Місяць тому +1

    Iv never been able to dig decent rag and no one will help show or tell me where to get them, despite probably only digging bait less than 10 sessions per year.
    As for lug I have my spot and don’t claim it it’s a public place for all and I happily tell fellow fishermen. I once dig a black lug that was the length of the top of my big finger to my elbow, a giant 😳

    That's some pretty loose sand you got there, makes it easier to dig Lugs than an Irish typical strand, where You have to use a pump or fork instead of a shovel. How does your back feel after that nice workout? Nice Lug's.

    Hello Billy, is this worm different from the European 15 cm long worm that comes out of the ground after dark and is caught only at night?

    • @DelDredd
      @DelDredd Місяць тому

      Your talking about a normal Lob worm got from your lawn, LugWorm like Ragworm are only found in saltwater areas in sand and mud hence the gills. Your normal Earth Worms and Lob Worms do not have gills.

    • @Billyfishing_watch
      @Billyfishing_watch  Місяць тому

      Yes it is! This worm is the marine equivalent of an earthworm . They live in the sand underneath the water. And have gills like a fish! And they are fantastic bait for most fish in Europe. Thanks Brother 😁👌
