Dreamtime Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 hi all just went by the local tackle store and got a brand new bait pump cost $37 supposed to be cheap? thats another hole in my pocket! now i have to find some grounds. help would be appreciated though around lake illawarra thanks, cheers industry Is it like this? or an aerator like this?? Both these items can be purchased for under 20 bucks? You can always tell the that it is the beginning of the aquarium set-up that your getting her for xmas Cheers Mariner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemmm Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think that given he is looking for bait grounds it more than likely looks like this But I could be wrong. I reckon a cruise around the lake down there is bound to turn up soem flats covered in holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long day Cheers Mariner Thats because of where you live. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind for you is a luscious tropical fishing ground. Where as us poor buggers think about twenty minutes of hard yakka pumping sand through a sieve. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatty hunter626 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 heres a cheap alternative i read about and am planing on trying it myself in the next few weeks(get some pipe and cap one end ...drill 2 holes in the cap....plunge the open end into some likely looking spots cover the 2 holes and remove....) so i will let you all know if it works...as it would make an extremely cheap alternative... cheers flatty hunter bait_pump1.bmp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewgaffer Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 hmmm could be but not sure ....guess i better hurry up and get it on the water for a test:P.. It looks all right but you might need a pneumatic sledge hammer to drive it in and a long handled butterfly net to catch the flying nippers with.

MrGenius Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 An old thong[the type that go on ya feet] works perfect for resealing an old pump too for those of you who have pumps that no longer work. Just mark out the washer diameter cut it out and away ya go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
