Thanks for the instructional. Very well thought out, but there has got to be a better cheaper way. Maybe modifying a hand bilge pump or children's pool water blaster type toy? I priced all the parts out and it's currently (2024) over $50. That seems a lot to me.
Martin, that’s the great thing about invention. I’m sure you can come up with something that might be lower cost. Be sure and let us know what you come up with.
Glad that you enjoyed it and happy that it will help you get out and enjoy some of the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. And welcome to one of the best places in the United States to live.
@ Bay Wolf Went out to the beach today got to test out the sand shrimp pump. It did not disappoint at all. Works great and easy to use. Thanks again for sharing your build.
@@Baywolf_films LMK if you ever come back down... will tell the folks you said hi, or you could post a report on SDF from up north, you know... HAHAHAHA
Yes, it is. Sand shrimp, or ghost shrimp they are also called I was told, are excellent bait for all kinds of fish. Here in the Pacific Northwest we use them for all salmon species, Steelhead and Surfperch. But almost any fish will grab em. They are like candy. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Thanks Jeremy for the great question. Yes, don’t glue it. Just add a stainless screw. That way you can take the screw out, pull off the elbow from the plunger shaft and then the plunger can be taken out the bottom and serviced or cleaned. Happy sand shrimping. Check back in and let us know how you do.
Thanks Mike. We were on Pacific Beach, between Copolis and Moclips. This beach has usually been good to us. Good luck and be sure and let us know how it goes and show off your new shrimp gun!
Hi Stephen, I believe in FL they are called Ghost Shrimp Pump replacement ball. If you can't easily find any local, you can order some from SquidCo in San Diego. Here is a link: www.squidcofishing.com/GHOST-SHRIMP-PUMP-REPLACEMENT-BALL-PLUNGER-GSP-2.htm?categoryId=-1 Let me know how it goes... and good fishing!
You're right. I used a bilge pump before. The problem I ran into is that the bilge pump was pretty narrow and the shrimp were crushed. But maybe I just wasn't using it right. There's a thousand way to skin a cat as they say.

@ Bay Wolf
Went out to the beach today got to test out the sand shrimp pump. It did not disappoint at all. Works great and easy to use. Thanks again for sharing your build.

Thank you Greg. It was fun

Hey Coach! Thankfully it’s all on the up and up here. Miss you guys. Tell everyone hello for us!
@@Baywolf_films LMK if you ever come back down... will tell the folks you said hi, or you could post a report on SDF from up north, you know... HAHAHAHA
@@werftv4580 We'll make it back for a vaca just as soon as things calm down just a bit. Still need a trip to IV!
@@Baywolf_films you let me know when..
🦐 it is a bait suction pump! 🦐
Yes, it is. Sand shrimp, or ghost shrimp they are also called I was told, are excellent bait for all kinds of fish. Here in the Pacific Northwest we use them for all salmon species, Steelhead and Surfperch. But almost any fish will grab em. They are like candy. Thanks for watching and for the comment.
Great design! Do you add stainless steel screws to the elbow at the end as well so it doesn't pop off when pumping?
Thanks Jeremy for the great question. Yes, don’t glue it. Just add a stainless screw. That way you can take the screw out, pull off the elbow from the plunger shaft and then the plunger can be taken out the bottom and serviced or cleaned.
Happy sand shrimping. Check back in and let us know how you do.
Genius!!! Thanks for sharing. Gonna make mine soon and run down to ocean shores. Where did you go?
Thanks Mike. We were on Pacific Beach, between Copolis and Moclips. This beach has usually been good to us.
Good luck and be sure and let us know how it goes and show off your new shrimp gun!
I would like to pick up one of those balls pre-drilled, here in Florida, what is the correct name of that part so I can do a search for one, thanks.

and good fishing!
@@Baywolf_films Want to try to find them local to Florida, no luck so far.
Longshot here, but you don't happen to still have that Samsung dryer control board from a few years ago do you?
Sorry, that Samsung Dryer left a long time ago..didn't want to chance another fire.
@@Baywolf_films ok. Thanks for the quick reply.
I think there is limit in california for harvesting those ghost shirmp , so chech regulations in your area or get a hefty ticket !
Thanks Frank. Yes, in Cali there is a limit. Here in Washington there is no limit...yet.
8:03 what was that noise? did animal died?
Lol!!
No…that was my shoe that I was drying on my trailer that fell to the floor. I assure you, no animals were harmed in the making of this film. 😂
Not hating on you, a bilge pump off Amazon $20 cut the end would do the same thing. If you wanna cheat 😅
You're right. I used a bilge pump before. The problem I ran into is that the bilge pump was pretty narrow and the shrimp were crushed. But maybe I just wasn't using it right. There's a thousand way to skin a cat as they say.
