A guide to pumping for lugworm from a Professional digger. Digging your own Lugworm can save you money and help you catch more Fish I head down to the Vast open beach to meet up with Dave the Digger.
Having not paid too much attention to Lug Pumping over the years i've come away feeling confident i can collect my own Bait for Sea fishing.Many thanks to Dave for giving up his time. I hope you go out and give it a go.
Remember there are local IFCA regulations to collecting worms and all other shellfish. These are also subject to change. The Angling Trust are Promoting Anglings side in the hand gathering regulations and their response can be found here; https://anglingtrust.net/2022/04/22/angling-trust-respond-to-sussex-ifca-hand-gathering-consultation/ So please do check what the regulations are for Collecting Lugworm in your locations. That said this is a most enjoyable way to collect your own bait. I personally tend to go to my local tackle shop as they keep the bait fresh and well kept . However ill be giving this a go on the channel again. Please have your say- Do you collect bait, do you have another method ? I did try using a fork but my back disagrees! A lot does depend where you are digging or pumping.
