Uhrm mate im not a pro myself but just tip of advice maybe let them drag on and fight first before reeling it in very fast cuz thats what I usually see and what some advice that I got from fishing yea! This was a great fishing vid to watch too haha I had multiple encounters like this as well! Goodluck next time and dont stop reelig cheers mate!
i see alot of drummer fishers on your right for the white water sometimes. how do you find this ledge compared to other northern beaches? is it snaggy? i only ever washed fish here for bream/trev
The spot is famous for blackfish and drummer as it consists of some good white washes that these fishes favoured. I am not sure what kind of fisher you are but for lures and shore jigging wise I would not go here as it is super shallow and snaggy at the bottom. I would rather go different spot in northern beaches if you want to use lures. But if you are not targeting pelagic fish, this spot can produce good fishes using baits. Hope this helps!
To be honest, its not 100% made for fishing at the rocks. Nessa’s adventage comes from convenience, lightness and easy to carry as its 3 piece rod. It is essentially made for light shore jigging and more like harbour setting. If you planning to fish at the ledges, I personally don’t recommend this rod. However, nessa itself is a great rod I have been used past two years and never disappointed me with catching bigger fishes. It is strong, light, and durable. It is great option for price as well. My nessa is MH+ which can comfortably cast up to 60g jiggs and 50g plugs. Hope this helps!
Nice video❤ Is it difficult to catch fish with lure (shore jigging) when the summer season ends? What kind of fish can anglers target for during autumn/winter? Thank you so much 🙌🏽
It is not impossible to catch pelagic fish with the lure in winter, but their activity goes really low and prefers bait in the colder water. You still can catch with lures but you won’t see a lot of fishes. During the winter season I like to do drummer and black fish (luderick) on the rocks or tailors with lures as tailors are more frequently caught during the winter season! If you are big fan of lure fishing maybe wait till tailor seasons to come!
Hi, I’ve been receiving a lot of feedbacks from locals which they were not happy with revealing the spots as it gets too crowded and people fishing on the rocks without the safety gears. I respect the locals opinions and their fishing spots. I am sorry I can’t tell you the exact spot but, it is one of the rocks near palm beach in northern beaches!
From my past experiences, small rat can be caught any time of the year with baits. However, if you want to use lure, use them during summer months, early November to April for maximum possibility catching big kingie! For the method I cook bonnies, I either pan fry with salt, herbs and lemons or have as sashimi tataki (grill the skin)! Hope this helps!
Thank you Indo! Bonnie season is one of my favourite time of the year! They always gives enjoyable fights! Btw I really enjoy watching your videos! Keep up the good works:)
this is literaly the best fishing video i've seen so far, clearly explaining which gear your using with photo's and everything. Showing the exact location, giving some safety tips for rockfishing. just great!!
Sorry for late reply! Some tips I can give you are try early morning like sunrise and use small profile jiggs or lures as kings around harbour in these time of season are quiet small! Good luck mate!
Making Avoca ledges so accessible was a huge mistake, constantly overfished by people with little to no regards for the environment, other fishermen or their own personal safety.. Learn to swim, learn the rules and learn some respect
I do agree with you. Some fishermen in Avoca have no awareness on their own safety and do not care the environment. I seen people not wearing any safety gears and risking their life. I hope people fishing at this ledge have some respect and aware what they are doing. Thanks for the comment
Hahaha you’re right this ledge is always full of people. Although its well known spot, I thought it would be better to show locations as this is vlogging footage! I will keep that in mind in next Vid..! Thanks for the comment!
@@Mulgoni yea I’m a local from the area and the amount of people that travel hours to fish the ledge blows my mind. On Australia Day there was about 50+ people on the ledge and people camping there. I try to avoid the place now. Sydney has such good ledges I’m so confused why people do the drive here
Great work on the kingfish mate. I've lost quite a few king the past month in the Harbour, found jigging to be quite effective in the Winter. Would love to tag along for a fish!
