After watching a large amount of your videos over the past couple of years I’ve always loved the action on those daiwa overthere rods. Fortunately I bought a couple off them due to your videos and they are my favourite rods out of all my fishing rod collection. I’m surprised and disappointed that Daiwa discontinued that series. Fingers crossed they come out with something even better. Another great video thanks Alex. Love the rock fishing videos 👍
yes i am dissappointed that they ae discontinued as well , A strong robust rod! a little bit short but friggen awesome never the less. the should last a long time too thanks very much for watching much appreciated mate
Thanks mate much appreciated . maybe consider a guiding trip with me. I will show yoy how to do it correctly. otherwise keep at it mate good snapper around that stretch of rocks.
Regularly smacking 50-60cm fish on baits these days. Trying to get them on plastics is another story even when switch baited in a trail. Quality video as always mate keep em coming
Practice makes perfect. I hooked 4 big trev at the wharf yesterday, everyone else on bait like 5 other rods out only one of the guys copped a big trev too
@@arta6784 thats a Trev and from a wharf though. Not a decent red from the rocks. For some reason considerably harder landbased even when you know where they are.
Hey Jake well done mate. snapper on plastics is quite regular but when i have reque st or when i am using them myself you will definatly get reds on plastics keep punching 👏
Yuor from the old school the real school 60;s70's i can tell by the woo. Snapper and banana yello. Thats what im talking about. learning. You are value. Thanks for effort and tips. Love yu
Hi Alex, awesome video, just a couple questions as a fisho starting to get into snapper fishing. I've noticed that in many of your videos you distance cast with bait but was surprised to see that you can also catch em on plastics up closer? When do you choose to distance cast and when do you use soft plastics or is that a matter of trying out different things? Would you ever distance cast in the spot in the video or is it more suited for up close plastics?
Great effort, Alex! I'm like you, I always take a moment to admire the beauty of a freshly caught target species - how good are those crimson hues on a freshly caught snapper?
G’day zundro, what a great outing bro.. I’m only using lures now, my favorite is a dark blue rubber frog 🐸.. thinking about live baiting them now 🤔ahh I miss eating snapper I’m getting tired of tilapia 😂
@@AlexBellissimo will do mate, I’ve been getting a few small common snake heads, just had a heatwave so I haven’t been out much but now it’s just the start of the wet season so I’ll be out regularly, land based is pretty difficult with so much vegetation 😂looking to get a kayak or something, i need a giant snake head lol 😝
thanks very much mate there both great braids. J Braid Grand breaks above the line class Expedition breaks around the line class and is a bit thinner bth great braids
Hi there. On your gear descriptions you have the sea bass as your fishing rod, but clearly on your video we can see that you are using Over there rod. Why?
The over there rod is discontinued. The only rod you can get in the Daiwa range that is close to the rod is the Seabass. If I put in the description the Over There rod anglers would not be able to purchase it. Cheers

sorry mate
the topic Jake mentined was snapper on plastics off the rocks he is already catching them up to 60+ cm cheers
the complexities of rock fishing and how much it can vary from spot tot spot is something most anglers dont understand.

Great footage ! What line classes are you running on that outfit ? Eg braid to fluorocarbon strengths.
hey mate cheers
check the description for details
Great effort, Alex! I'm like you, I always take a moment to admire the beauty of a freshly caught target species - how good are those crimson hues on a freshly caught snapper?
yes the colours of a snapper can vary in ther terrain beautiful fish. Thanks heaps mate
Another brilliant video. Is your retrieve just a slow lift and drop or a slow retrieve?
a variety of jig actions. A couple are sharp upward jig andn pause or a short rapid jig and pause.
@@AlexBellissimo Cheers. Appreciate you taking the time to answer.
@@bencoady3542 Time strapped 😅 thanks for mentioning mate
G’day zundro, what a great outing bro.. I’m only using lures now, my favorite is a dark blue rubber frog 🐸.. thinking about live baiting them now 🤔ahh I miss eating snapper I’m getting tired of tilapia 😂
But I’m going to use a rubber band so I don’t hurt them hahaha ❤
Hey Davros
how are you mate 👍 keep memposte on yoyr snake head progress.
And when your back in Syd hopefully will find time for a fsh

Great stuff Alex! Stick with the filming too mate - you'll get batter in no time.
hey thanks mate just a big learning curbe hahah but will stick with it cheers
Great as always Alex.
How do you rate the new Diawa Expedition Braid against the Diawa J Braid Grand?
thanks very much mate
there both great braids. J Braid Grand breaks above the line class Expedition breaks around the line class and is a bit thinner bth great braids
Hey Alex love the videos, how are you working the Jerk Shad, what kind of tempo for the snapper?
Thaks mate much appreciated
sharp upward lift and pause or short jerks and pause cheers
Alex rarely fishes soft plastics but when he does... He catches all the snappers from the ledge.
used to get reds on plasics catching a few again, loving it caught about 20 or more snapper this year cheers much appreciated
What was swell size on the day? I always heard its best done above 1.1 swell size
Hey mate
swell was moderate with a big run in tide. no swell does not have to be big for snapper catch hem on flat days as well
Good vid mate, you are a gun at this, i thought the rod you were using was one of the overthere models?
Thanks mate
The Over There rod is discontinued. The only rod you can get in the Daiwa range that is close to the rod is the Seabass
cheers
Awesome bro awesome 👍🏽
Thanks heaps mate was a lot of fun
If i think where that spot is in. Isn't the climb a bit dangerous?
ahh well it was certinely a dangerous spot thats for sure
I'd like to see you go back 20yrs and throw some kokoda roger poppers on a 7" alvey 😅
hahah yeah the kokoda rodgers. still my largest lure caught king was near 24kg on a rodger
@@AlexBellissimo I remember the photo. Back from your bait delivery days in the van to A1 Tackle on Pitt St
