Double Trouble 3 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I normally get them locally at the section bank when its low tide, heaps out there, can normally get a days fishing worth after an hour with the pump Mick87, 4THALOVE, Jack. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crispy 2 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I have had a bait pump in my shed for 16 years as i didnt even think they had them here ,i used to pump these things when i was up in townsville on the flats . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 They are all over the place crispy,its always just been one of those things that people dont go around advertising.I"d poke my neck out and say we have one of the best populations of them ,but here in SA the goolwa cockle has ruled the roost since the year dot and been the go to bait and so readily available and successful that clickers have never really got a mention or look in.,never been a need ,it use to be just go down the baitshop and grab a pint of cockles,or a pack of tubies.[but an awesome bait went barely talked about or sought]Only the dedicated and extra keen would scab around and get their own bait, hence i reckon bait pumps have never really been a top seller here.cheers breambo25 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at the bottom centre of the pic theres a little brown yabby looking one,a different species i think but they are dynamite, if you are using 2 hooks one with a pink one and one with them they smash that brownie one every time.[img']http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c97/scummm/100_1542Large.jpg[/img] 4THALOVE, trihull, vxman29 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's really strange .You nth or south (I know your name is Aldingabeachfisho) just interested in location If I have stuggled to find holes before I just randomly pump and some times there's a layer of fresh sand covering them up and they soon appear again maybe give that a crack Cheers 4THA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aldingabeachfisho 1 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Down south , there's a few other blokes that have failed to get them this year also. I wonder if its possible they've moved on or bee. Fished out . 4THALOVE 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
