Steep Point is the most western part of the Australian main land and for land based anglers its considered to be one of the best rock fishing spots there is. When it comes to catching pelagic's off the cliffs few places can offer what Steep can.
I was lucky enough to have a few free days and a booking was available in prime time. Josh, his son Jett and myself raced up to try out luck at catching some Mackerel and managed to sneak a few in past the sharks which are ever present.

Epic steep point video. A lot of line pollution in the water but, getting spooled three times. Go a bigger reel

Best channel on the tube bruv. Keep doing what your doing mate. People don’t have nothing better to do then spread negativity. Continue with your fishing mate your kicking goals 🙏🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@gripnripfishing866 3 года назад

I love the instant scream to josh as soon as you hook up lolol so dramatic

@DixonsFishing 3 года назад

Hahaha yeah excitement peaks when you hook up. Always handy to be ready with the gaff and the gaff person has to be ready when the fish gets to the cliffs. Certainly a team sport.

@vocalveteran1894 3 года назад

When that guy first whipped out that metal contraption that slid down the fishing line to auto-gaff the fish the first thing that came to my mind was "necessity is the mother of invention"!

@drdeankos2356 3 года назад

Losing all that line is Devastating !!! Looks like one place you need a few extra klm's line spare ........... Some EXTREME Fish on offer over there .... Damn TAXMAN always wants his Share !!!!

@seawench555 3 года назад

Hi really appreciate the fishing fellers but I gotta say I'm concerned about the amount of really strong braided line now being pulled around by who knows what getting caught around killing other marine animals etc, I understand it's bloody hard when they run so far but it's the consequences that the environment suffers for our sport, we need to make fishing line that eventually dissolves after being continually wet for a day or so hmmm not a bad idea. Also just to let u know my mate has a 45ft catamaran that ran over fishing braid and it tore out both shaft seals on his transmission and he was left in a really shit situation having to be towed before smashing on rocks in Western Aussie he also had a young family on board. Thanks for ur vlogs ur awesome fishos. 🎏🎣

@sensiblynumb Месяц назад

my thoughts exactly. Consequences of fishing light gear and not correctly accounting for target species. If they spool you once they will do it again. You need a bigger outfit that can handle the fish.

@rondio7445 3 года назад

Nice spot bro

@mmoon1860 3 года назад

I would definitely use a heaviest line ever so I could enjoy my fishing more !! Good luck boy’s for next time 🤞 I could fish with rope if I had to I don’t care what people think at least you don’t get any missed changes 😃

@ihaiakohunui8529 3 года назад

Hey mate I’m not trying to be negative, great video. But so much line in the drink mate. I probably wouldn’t have said anything if I didn’t watch the documentary seaspiracy on Netflix. Maybe heavier gear next time

@DixonsFishing 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback, always happy to receive criticism when it’s constructive. Certainly wasn’t my intention to loose any line at all and that would be the worst trip I’ve had for loosing line. Normally every now and then I’ll hook something to big and have a reel emptied but this was just unlucky and them breaking at the reel instead of the far end like normally happens.

@mubarakalazmi3827 3 года назад

what a nice trip 👍🏼, well done mate, but i reckon next time you have to upgrade your set up 😉, mate a have a question , what’s the best time of the year to fish steep point?

Hi buddy will 300 metres of line be enough to fight and launch a balloon and how far out do you need to launch the balloon

@DixonsFishing 3 года назад

300 would be minimum. Mostly 150-200m out for balloon and then line to fight fish. Most people have 500m+ on ballooning reel

In the Philippines they are called tanguigui and are excellent for sushimi. They have nothing in common taste-wise with common mackerel. Why they call them king mackerel or spanish mackerel, I have no idea.

@manr.9106 3 года назад

Bro, how light are you fishing? Getting spooled so many times? I don’t know, but i would say you are at least 25 to 30lb to light?! 30lb is such a gamble and for what? To throw 300m of plastic in the ocean every time(!!!) in which a turtle gets strangled to death or cuts off the fins! Not so cool bro! I’m fishing myself but when you have to expect that size of fish it’s BS to risk the complete line every single time!!!

@TryABaconSlice 3 года назад

Mate they are using Saltiga 8000 and 14000's with 50lb J braid (which is realistically more like ~80lb test). Those are $2000 reels and relatively heavy braid. If you hook a big enough shark in that situation it doesnt matter what you are using short of rope and a winch
