Excellent video, Alex and a good demonstration of winding down to a good pig and lifting it out - not an easy task and one which puts the line under extreme pressure - I'm old school with monos and keep coming back to Maxima Ultra Green and Schneider Klear - both tough, with just enough stretch and excellent wet knot strength. Love your work and your passion!!
Thanks Frank. A very common mistake when anglers do not wind down to the fish before lifting it up. And the wind down can be as low as 15 degrees at least when you have to do a lift of several metres.
Hi Alex can you suggest some locations too. Also it be nice to take us through how you rig the float and stopper distance plus bait up using cabbage for amatuers like me. Big thanks Alex 🙏🏼
Hi there sorry these vids are not really tuition based. I give out 'some'tips. I am a full time rock-beach and estuary fishing guide and can teach you how to do it properly. i am based in Sydney
Hey alex thanks for the great videos! is there a specific reason why you'd sometimes use floats over sinkers or vice versa? is there certain conditions youre looking for? thank you! looking to head out soon
there are a lot of reasons why i choose float over running ball to hook rigs. one reason can be very rough terrain. Also using weed for rock blackfish works well ubder a float.
A great informative video, thanks Alex. I am a fishing beginner and never caught a black drummer before. I plan to fish in Jervis Bay next week. May I know which size of the ISO float did you use and how much weight of sinkers? Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching and apologies for the late reply. Not up on the ISO float range sizing. Small Surecatch float size of a x/l large grape suits just fine sinker weights vary by how much current/wash there is.
Hey mate, do you think there is much difference between the Iso floats and traditional luderick floats (pencil shape with the bobby cork just over half way up the stick)? Also what lb leader would you recommend. We use 12lb braid and 10lb leader for both luderick and drummer. I have however caught just as many fish running 15lb braid and 20lb leader. As for hooks I use the Gamakatsu panfish hooks (size 6 to 10).
@@AlexBellissimo mate I love the iso floats after using them. Less tangles and I'm getting a higher hook up rate. Alex, it be awesome to go for a fish with ya mate. I'm into film too so if you wanted a hand filming it would be a pleasure. Also would be cool if you used a gopro for the pov shots to give that classic angle of the rod bend. Anyway mate thanks for the good information 🤙
Pigs sick Alex and how good yur daiwa aus fishing bit off the rocks for reddys on yur new saltist rod and that reel sickest man king of daiwa yeeewww alex
Hey mate thanks Josh appreciate you mentioning this. I am just fortunate they picked me for the vid It could have been a number of other anglers thanks again mate
Yeah i dont think so there is thousands of miles of coast line that people cant fish and rock fishing being hard to fish at the best of times i think there pretty safe.
Have eaten them over 50 cm and just under 60 cm - all have come up fine on the plate - depends on the condition of the fish, how you look after them and splitting the fillet if it's too thick. Some drummer are territorial residential fish but many move in from offshore reefs - 100 -200 metres out after big seas to feed on offerings being washed off the ledges. Don't think you should over do it but it's my choice if I keep half a dozen pigs. Many spots that I fish around Wollongong are as good as they were 20 years ago and the cave of a pig that you catch and keep is soon occupied by another pig. They say bream are slow growing too. On the east coast of Tasmania there are some great lagoons which are frequently closed off to the ocean. In one that I used to fish, there were a large amount of bream under 20 cm. One year later, those same bream were over 30 cm. All depends on the supply of food. Anyhow, what do I know....just have observed many things in my 38 years of fishing and have listened to and fished with many old timers with a lifetime of fishing under their belt.
@@AlexBellissimo my bad, I checked after i wrote the comment.picked one up on Friday.Can cast a metal slug aa mile. Hopefully try it on some drummer soon.
What a great session off the stones Alex! Looks like you love using the Daiwa Over There these days. 👌 👌 👌
Thanks Peter Yes love the Daiwa over there rod. Super light like an extension of my arm

Hey thanks Mohamed Although I would have liked to catch more rock blackfish on the weed baits on the day. Another vid coming!
Good love drummer fishing!
Great video alex!!
We will be doing this soon mate looking forward to the session. Thanks heaps for your support from you and the team. Superb gear👌
Cheers mate

Nice mixed bag.never seen a kale before.thankyou.
There a common fish. If your bait is too close to the bottom and your weed fishing you are likely to catch one
Another great knowledgeable video Alex,thank you 🎣
Cheers Michael Just a few tips and something different to the conventional pig fishing methods.
If you don't like the splash, the salt, the cuts, the snags... .. . Again, great vid Alex.
Nicely done, great vid... How deep are you fishing, where is your float stopper..
Hi Steve thanks mate Float stoppers from a tackle shop and fish at variable depths depending on the dept you are fishing.
Always a great watch.
Thanks heaps mate Hopefully more coming soon Maybe something blue ?
Hey Alex what size iso float did you use great video cheers sporto.🐟👍
Sorry not really up
To speed with ISO floats. Just ones I found
Weight them accordingly use ones that can support a 1ball sinker approx
There's a weed Kale living in Austinmer pool and feeding right near the steps where the water flows out. Seen him a few times.
Yeah there a prolific fish
@@AlexBellissimo Cockey, caught very few
@@lauchlanguddy1004 snorkel and you'll see millions.

Hi there, please tell US if you are high tide or low,etc
my apologies forn the late reply
the short answer most anglers fish the run up to the high to two hours out
Great vid as usual Alex
Your a gem mate. Thanks for your support 😊👍
All good mate
Josh and I always look forward to our fishing sessions with you as they are brilliant.
Drummer is on our hit list to do with you
Great video as always Alex
Mate what model Maui Jim’s you wearing there they look the goods for my shaped head
What’s cabbage weed?
Heya mate where did you get your wading bag from ?
Was intrested in how you keep the Cabbage on the hook.
Hey Myspike Maybe consider a fishing trip with Bellissimocharters I can show you a lot of techniques.

Hey George Just showing something different. The long stem floats are more visible but the iso floats work great in from 2 to 10 m out.

Where do you get your iso floats from and also what size floats do you use? Thanks 😊
nice work，what is the hook size？
Thanks for watching.
Hook size is normally No-1 to a 2/0 double strength.
This is the way I fish😊 Go cabbage bait!
Yes cabbage pig fishing way less bi catch and it's free🙌
It's very good sport,many fish
It was a fun outing fishing can be better too
Awsome vid Al, yew

Drummer bag limit needs to be reduced yesterday. Slow growing territorial residential fish. No good eating over 50cm too.

@@franksaunders6534 Hey mate if you ever want to go for a fish for pigs/luderick let me know. I am keen to check out some other spots.
@@grimreaper6112 they will only exist In non accessible areas.
@@grimreaper6112 heaps of spots here on the Central coast they have been decimated.
Size 1 works well
Best size for Blackfish
Weed baits a no-2 or 4 and with prawn, bread or cunjevoi 1/0 to 2/0 cheers
thanks mate cheers 👍
Hey mate,
what's the rod you are using?
Please check the description of the video
@@AlexBellissimo my bad,
I checked after i wrote the comment.picked one up on Friday.Can cast a metal slug aa mile.
Hopefully try it on some drummer soon.
Get a hold of a 12 ft vintage Snyderglass,the 70s fiberglass rods have the flex you need
Hey mate how far up is your float stopper from your swivel. Thanks mate
Hi there
That can vary depending on the dept. a good average is 1.5-1.7m
