Typically when you see rock fishing videos the real successful outings with loads of fish are normally uploaded. As you may already know that is not the reality of everyday fishing. Sometimes it is tough and you really have to think hard about what you are doing, keep a very close eye on the swell on the day especially when it is quite big, and your timing has to be right to succeed in many aspects. i have caught many many huge bags of rock blackfish and caught many really big rock blackfish as well. This video is just showing that even in tough conditions you can still do ok.
THE OUTFIT ON THE DAY:
• Alex Bellissimo 80+ Litre Backpack( purchase on my website)
• Rod: Daiwa Over There 109MH 10-20lb 2 two piece 328cm

caught a decent blackfish the other day, bled it straight away and can honestly say it was one of the most delicious fish i've ever eaten. Beautiful light white flaky meat, was an absolute treat!

@AlexBellissimo Год назад

The rock blackfish a culinary delight 👌☺️

@rhythmm860818 2 года назад

This type of fishing is not easy at all. Watching the wave alone is difficult job and constantly fighting with vermin and snags. And he moved to 5 different spots, thats just amazing and hard work.

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Hey mate appreciate that you understand the effort put in. I love being challenged, working thing out, rock fishing is like any form of hunting. Just love how my senses are heightened when I’m out there Feel Alive!!

@LachlanHelbig 2 года назад

Very refreshing to see a rock fishing video like this, definitely more accurately portrays a true rock fisherman and what a good session realistically looks like. Drummer and groper are both beautiful eating and only bad cooks say otherwise. Also, drummer have to be pound for pound some of the hardest fighting fish!

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Hey Lachlan thank you for the compliment very much appreciated. Yes the reality of rock fishing is not just standing in one spot but working other and difficult to fish areas. Seems the majority of rock anglers rely on their one ledge. No results and it’s game over.

Hey mate, great video. Just got back into fishing cause of lockdown. Im fishing of the rocks and always getting snagged, any tips and trick? should I leave my bait sit or slowly reel it in whats the go

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Hi there Thomas. If you really want to do it properly I am a rock and beach fishing guide. I do this full time. But a quick tip , be more gentle when your bouncing your bait on the undulated ocean rock bottom whilst rock fishing. You should get less snags.

@paulmusgrave2135 2 года назад

Hi Alex, great video thanks for sharing. Do you have a preferred time of day for drummer? Or are you mainly focused on a rising tide + good swell?

Thanks for mentioning mate cheers Preferred time , normally rule of thumb is low light period and rising tide

@macccaaaaaaa 2 года назад

Do you ever find that sometimes berley can have a negative impact (more toadfish, Kelpies and other undesirables moving in)

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Yes defiantly in some circumstances simply because the vermin are more willing to attack your bait before the target fish are. I could write thousands of words just in burley techniques, plus/ minus of burley.

@frednurk8590 2 года назад

Kelpfish is why I never use prawns. Bread burley, and fresh bread plastered onto the hook. Bugger all bycatch.

I don't see a lot of big waves out the back in a lot of videos are you often fishing in a bay out of direct swell? Where I fish in northern nsw I'm always at risk of big waves

@slyarsenal 2 года назад

Hi Alex, I'm tossing up between the Seabass 11ft MH 7-15kg rod or the Overthere 109MH Pe1.0-2.5 as you have in this video. I'll be mainly fishing off the rocks on some ledges where I'll need to lift the fish. I'm thinking the Seabass rod would probably have more backbone for lifting. How do you rate the Overthere rod for lifting compared to the Seabass and which rod do you think has a better action for blackfish? I'm guessing the Overthere for action but Seabass for lifting. I know Daiwa recently came out with the 21 Sandstorm rods which present another rod to consider.

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Hi there Both rods ‘can vertical lift fish up to about two kg but when you need to wind several turns straight up that’s when things can go pear shaped. The sandstorm 7.15kg , the older model works well for vertical Lifting and less fear of the rod snapping.

@brettmurray7427 2 года назад

Hi Alex would a daiwa seajigger 325h lift 2kg dummer says in the daiwa description it can. But people say daiwa over rate their rods is this true have other rods but the jigger is a sweet rod to use

@slyarsenal 2 года назад

@@brettmurray7427 I've got a seajigger 325xh 12-24 which is a bit too heavy for drummer. I understand you asked Alex about the 325H 7-15kg model but I still think it's a bit too fast in action for drummer bites especially when they're timid. Would make a good groper rod though even though I would go pe4-6 rod. I actually use the same 9ft6 saltist hyper rock special rod Alex uses. It doubles up well as a stickbait rod. I really like the action on the Overthere 10ft9MH rod. I decided to buy a telescopic net instead of buying a heavier blank to deadlift fish onto higher ledges. I think you would enjoy the slower action on the Overthere or Seabass rods than the crispier seajigger 325H.

@RockFishingAU 2 года назад

I have daiwa 19 seajigger 325h 7-15kg paired with daiwa 20 bg mq 6000d-h. 30lb Braid and 30lb Mono Leader. Perfectly balanced and lift a 50+ cm bonito off the rocks with ease.

@slyarsenal 2 года назад

@Cheng Lu Yes perfect combo. Just bought a saltist mq 6k to match with my 7-15kg seajigger. My only complaint is the length of the butt section. Daiwa need to move their reel seats lower on beach and rock fishing rods

Just out of interest, Alex. What's the biggest pig you've ever caught over the years (weight and length estimate) and what's considered a really big pig these days (weight and length)? Always good t have a mark to shoot for.

@AlexBellissimo 2 года назад

Well Back the day when the treatment works were pumping out the sewerage (ending 1989) the luderick and rock blackfish were abnormally large. My Largest rock blackfish was 19 lb (8.6kg) and luderick 6 1/4 lb. 2.7kg) so ridiculously big. The late Roy Hill (lud)and late Ron Calcutt (pig) caught the Austrian record rock blackfish and luderick form Bluefish headland Manly We did not measure so much back then.

@@AlexBellissimo That's an awesome recount of an epic day during an iconic era in Sydney's rock fishing history - thanks for sharing that Alex. Love your enthusiasm and hope one day to able to catch a feed of pigs side by side with you - down where I fish (just north of Bulli) the pigs love cooked prawns and a liberal berley of soaked chicken pellets works well though in rough water some of my best catches have come from using no berley at all and just throwing the head, tail and shell of the peeled prawn in at my feet after baiting up. It's all about assessing the conditions and while I'm nowhere in your league, I've become pretty good at it and seem to usually bring home a feed of pigs when others around me fail.
