Fishing Surface Hardbodies And More In Port Hacking!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лют 2022
- One tends to think of surface lure fishing being an advanced or niche technique but in reality, these lures are very simple bibless floating lures with no real detail in the shape. They can be effective all hours of the day.
Lures used here:
Daiwa Slippery dog (alt colours I recommend):

Is my donut game on lock? 😂
Word is on the street some bream are tagging #caughtbyshroom
@@robberlin2230 haha, more like #droppedbyshroom lol
🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing that notification pop up! Love your content mate!
Yes! That's the plan, gotta feed that addiction😎
Blender boi you seem to watch every fishing UA-camr I do so you should know this channel A+ fisherman👌
Thanks to Will (Grift Co.) for a great day out and all the crispy footage! Check out his UA-cam and IG:

Wow he’s a gun, that boat is a great setup and he’s an all round nice guy, makes sense he gives up front spot and lets you roll the electric, what A guy
@@robberlin2230 and he sent me his crispy footage from a camera even better than mine!
@@ShroomFishing I follow him already, his content is next level tbh, I respect his learning of tig welding too, what a gun
Love the Bassday Sugarpens but the hooks on them do look like they were made for more heavy/stronger fighting fish species in Japan. I put small assist hooks on mine, I find that helps a lot with hook ups with Aussie species.
Great content as usual Shroom!
Thanks Hai! Yes those hooks are a bit bigger and thicker. They last long and give you a decent chance of some bigger bycatch like salmon and kings but when the bream are finicky, that's when it's a downside. I was half hoping for a bycatch given that I was in the Hacking so I held off till late
Another week another great vid keep it up shroom 👍🏼💪🏼
Nice one Zaino! Thank you and all that footage from Will made a huge difference! I was spoilt for clips there 😎
Shroomy, I've just got back from Manning Point and smashed it. But.... I need you to go to Harrington and fish the lagoon from the breakwater. There's multiple metre plus flathead, 40+cm bream and all sorts of massive species just cruising around, wouldn't take any lure, bait, jig, anything, It looks like an aquarium. I managed a 36cm flattie and that was the only thing landed all morning. The greatest tease on the coast. If you can get anything decent out of that lagoon you will attain legendary status and instantly become UA-cam's No 1 fishing expert in the Universe. Yes, this is a challenge.
Wow that is challenge! Maybe one day littlerubster, it sounds choc a block full of top tier specimens!
Yes the simplest lures always work, well done shroom mate you inspire me 👌👌🔥🔥
Thanks Jonah, give it a go, it's a lot of fun! 😎
I will I bought 2 new lures and and a pack of grubs and they just arrived I’m going under the harbour bridge this weekend hoping to land a Kingy 🔥💪
@@jonahjenkins795 Good luck, they are in the area
Good one Shroom - these are my local waters. Glad you had a good time.
Thank you Carol! You local waters are simply amazing. I'm always in awe of how pristine it is
hey shroom massive fan you inspire me to keep on trying every day
Great stuff again mate really enjoyed that -cheers.
Thanks Warren, I was lucky to have Will send me his footage which was extra crispy!
Great vid brø! Such a good end to a wet week for me!!!
Thanks a lot Jorre! This weekend just goes from wet to more wet! 😂 I can't wait till it's over, it's pouring as I type this!
wow mate! great video! keep up the good work lad! nice bream too!
Thanks a lot gamingmanic42! Will do, always something new and interesting every week and yes that bream was a whopper! Takes a lot to tempt a big bream in broad daylight and on top too! 😁🙏
You're legend Shroom...
G’day Shroom, another beautiful location mate and finally a couple of fish. Looked like a great day.
Thanks Wayne, the Hacking is simply incredible in clarity and beauty
Ha ha , there it is , me Thursday fishin fix ! 🤙🎣✔️ Onya mate . 🐟
Yeah yeah! Thursday video coming in hot David! Something a bit different, all those camera angles should make for a good watch 🔥😎💪
Awesome fight at the end there shroom
Thank you, it almost got me Boed!
Love your videos from Vic mate keep it up
Thanks James, I'm glad you like em! 👍
Well done 👍 shroom
Thanks Nathan
@@ShroomFishing all good dude
Great video nice catch keep up the good work
Thank you X3 Grims! It was a good day out
Good video mate. Lots of good fishing in Port Hacking. The sugapens out of the box have #5 trebles i think. They can work well if you downsize to #8 or #10 Atomic assist hooks on the rear and #8 or #10 treble in the middle. But up to the individual i suppose. Least your getting a few 🐟 Cheers 👍
Thanks Trevor. I was resistant to changing because there was always that chance kings would show up but downsizing is the perfect solution for bream. I'll have to try some surface lures with some assists.
Thanks Shroom, you've made me feel like a real dud...........I used this same lure yesterday surface fishing for whiting and didnt get a strike! As soon as I changed over to a different lure I caught a couple - go figure!! 🤔
Another terrific video and session Shroom. I'd love to see you catch fish on a lure you design and make yourself using unconventional materials......potential for a future video?? Keep them coming please!
Thanks Archie. Funny how surface fishing works some times but I'm glad you made the right change and got a bag of fish! That might be an idea for a future video, I'll write that down 👍
Great video nice boat😁
Will's Dora is a great boat for this style of fishing. It enabled us to sneak into that creek for a bit of a sus 💪
Absolutely beautiful area to fish.
The sandy bottom should have produced heaps you would think.
The bream was a tough customer. lol.
I really do like your casting ability, lovely action.
Donut session thumbs up
I'd have to agree Hilton, Port Hacking is truly a marvel. I was expecting a field day on the whiting, not a single one haha. That was tough fight on either side of that rock, it didn't want to leave! Very stoked with a such a big fish in shallow water that far into the day. Thanks a lot, that means a lot haha, I never get to watch my own casts!
Thanks for the tips
Thanks a lot Raymund
this might be the calmest and chillest UA-cam channel ever. It's one of the reasons why I subscribe to them. i wish you a nice day to whoever is reading this. you deserve one 😉
Thank you Kaizo 👍
@@ShroomFishing your welcome :)
Love the narration
Thanks Maximus
@@ShroomFishing no probs
Another nice video Shroom & fly fishing , i like assist hooks short in the middle & normal at the back on top water you wont miss any fish & snag free to a extant, nice to see the frigates back i miss them tuna on little river to sea metal lures on 6lb the runs they do is insane on moderate drag or less gets the heart rate going perfect lol....👌
Thanks George! I'll have to give that a go at some stage. I'm gonna give a small metal a go the next time I see this happen. Maybe I may just tick off frigate or bonito this year!
Awesome bro good area to fish
Thanks Chon, the Hacking always blows my mind how clean and open it is. No industry at all!
Hi Shroom nice vlog great to see variety in the lures and techniques loved the fly attempt, have you done a fresh water trout vlog? Keep the great work going mate
Thanks a lot John! I haven't filmed a single one but I have done a bit of trout fishing. That might be a good idea this year to make a trout video and possibly a fly fishing one for trout too
how cool is the orange line and slippery dog!
Gd sesh
On sunday i was outside of port hacking and we pulled a few gd snapper .mine went 55cm on a dave austin rig
Few gd bream around too.pulled a nice 40 chasing yakkas
Nice one Tiller Gorilla, that's a top snapper and breambo. I haven't caught a proper snapper ever, maybe this year!
@@ShroomFishing get onto em mate.
Dreamy weather Shroom
That was a really nice morning Hamish, I had some sunrise shots that looked out of this world 🔥
Big relief at the end! Haha you going to do a catch and cook?
Sure was Rob, imagine if I got rubbed off on the oysters there! That's an idea! 🔥
Owwww south west arm love that spot in the hacking
Feels like the Hawkesbury there in places
Shroom on the DORA Boat!
Perfect for this style of fishing Dylan 🔥
Great Video Shroom
Quick Question, do you use backing on all of your reels, if not how do you spool your reels?
Thanks Pat and yes I use a bit of mono backing (around the same breaking strain as the braid. For shallow spools, not much maybe a turn or two of mono. It helps spool up the deeper spools so I use more in that case
@@ShroomFishing thanks heaps!
You know the first thing that came into my mind when I saw the thumbnail ? 'I bet he's going to get a jewie on that, too!' 😀
Haha Alf, if only! A Hacking jewie is a pretty tough ask though, I always think about them. 🐟
Hey shroom great vid and love your content!
I was wondering if you would be able to recommend me a good place to catch kingies? I’ve been looking for ages with my grandpa for a good spot but can’t seem too find one!
Where abouts are you based? I'll see if I can point you in the right direction
I live on the central coast (just above Sydney about 1 hour away) I’ll be able too drive to Sydney easily.
Hey mate, thanks for the upload. Can I ask do you use mono leader for the surface lures? And if so which one?
Uncommonly, I do use mono but often time's I'm using fluoro out of laziness. I make sure the head of the lure isn't completely submerged so then it will still have a good action. Any spool of mono line is fine so long as it's not old or been exposed to too much sunlight. I've even used cheap ones like Jarvis Walker and they've been fine.
@@ShroomFishing Thanks mate, yeah I find the fluro sinks affecting the surface lures action a little but am also lazy 😂
A separate question. Can we reuse the soft plastics? Do we leave the jighead in the lure or remove it ? How many times can we reuse the soft plastic?
Yes, most plastics are reusable except for those that need juice to remain supple (Gulp, Ecogear etc). You can reuse them until they get too damaged
Mate I need some help. Have had like 5 lane based sessions with plastics and hard bodies, still yet to catch anything. Around Northbridge/Mosman .
Hey Ryan, what lures have you been using?
Try swapping the trebels for small circle hooks less snags and dropped fish I've had a better hook up rate since, they seem to come back after a missed strike aswell
I may try that at some stage Shane
wow! very nice session,
I'm looking into getting a surface lure for whiting and bream and I am thinking about the daiwa slippery dog, which size would be better 65mm or 80mm?
From my experience either size will work on the whiting and bream if they're actively feeding and like the presentation.
Ok Thanks for the tip, I'll probably get the 80mm for the further casting
Lucas, if you're fishing closed waters with less ripple, the smaller one otherwise the bigger one is more stable and easier to work with a bit of chop and current
Thanks for the tip, I'll probably get the big one then because there is some current in places where I fish.
Great vid Shroom, just a quick question have you ever fished for garfish?
No I haven't Davo. Maybe an idea for a future video to see what it's all about!
saya juga suka pakai lure minnow karna sangat mudah dilempar dan sangat jitu casting di muara dan salam satu hobi kawan🙏🙏👍👍😍😍🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thank you brother
Great video on a tough day, nice to get out on a boat i bet, I have assist hooks on all my sugapen's, they have improved my hook ups heaps, great video Pete,
Thanks Anthony, I probably made it a lot more difficult sticking with the heavier trebles but there's no telling if bigger fish come by so I stuck by it. Those assists would have helped a lot at the cost of less surface explosions
I can definitely see you buy another medium-fast action rod after pulling so many hooks on the trebles, Shroom. Maybe a top-of-the-range Daiwa Infeet? Hahaha...
Haha James, it was a conscious decision to stick to the lure as it was still producing the hits and in case bigger fish turned up.
Nice day out on Port Hacking.
Thanks a lot Kimbo! Awesome conditions out there
I always tell my customers that clear water can be a curse, they see you coming. When the ferries and trawlers used to churn up the Parra, the fishing, particularly for bream, was insane compared to how it is now. Those fish busting up that ignored you were almost certainly frigates, there's a shedload of them around at the moment. Freaky seeing tuna working in that sort of water but that's what they do.
Totally agree Mark, and they seem to all get the idea they are getting preyed on if you drop a fish or spook a few in the general area. Good call Mark, I didn't know what they were but they certainly didn't seem tailor-like in size of smash or style. I still need to tick off frigate, bonnies and mahi (when offshore). My fly fishing technique is pretty rusty, I could see a tailing loop haha
@@ShroomFishing We all get tailing loops mate. I'm a fly fishing specialist and your double haul is more than respectable. Didn't know you fly fished!
@@markrigg6623 Thanks Mark, I have dabbled into it, have about 3 rods/combos that rarely get used! I might have to give it a red-hot go this year
@@ShroomFishing Land based flyfishing for bream can be great fun. And obviously you catch a lot more then bream.
It's a good day when you do and don't get donuts. 🍩
When is your video coming out mate????
Haha true that Will! That last one was delicious 😂👊
Yh the shroom
Yeah the boys!
correction "these lures catch fish at certain times of year" try fishing surface in winter and your gonna have a lotta donuts. bass still hit them but mostly nah. or at least thats been my experience
Yeah I understand what you're saying, but then I thought of bass as you said, but then in the salt you have tailor, salmon and kingfish
Fuck I always looking forward to your videos
Thanks King Slayer, I really appreciate it bro
Can we ask what shoes Will was wearing? 2:12
where yu been shroom ? yu where i wanted to go . shoulda known lol .
Dave, I don't blame you, the Hacking is amazing and I don't fish it nearly enough!
@@ShroomFishing yeah its a nice spot . i see you kept a few . so i take it theyre ok to eat ?
@@durv13 only a guess but i reckon they came out of the live well
@@fredflintstone6729 just curious as we havnt been able to eat alot of the fish here because of pollution . its been a while since ive been able to catch a fish to take home n cook . thats one of the best things about fishing , knowing you caught yu feed lol .
Just like one of my fishing adventures, well, except I don't have a boat and I generally don't catch anything... 😀
Haha Grant, you're too hard on yourself mate! Landbased is where it's at! You'll get some nice fish shortly, I know it! 😎
@@ShroomFishing I'm just starting out on the lures, it's all good.
Not bad better than a donut
True Josh, that whopper made up for it!
yooo sup legend
Hey Sarkis 😁
Keep eating those donuts bro, u will look like me in no time 🤌😉
Haha Dave, it's bad, those donuts just dissolve once you take a bite. I could easily smash a box of em but I held back! No you look fine Dave! 🔥👍
My dad used to have alot of those kinds of lures. He's lost every single one of them over the years 😂😂
Did he lose them to fish? It's such a fun way to fish 🔥
@@ShroomFishing Yes! Ahahaha I've personally seen it happen a few times it was always fun hearing him cuss out the fish
@@spoopyd.8910 Haha especially when it surprises out of nowhere
Gone corporate Shroom! Ads and merch everywhere..
No there shouldn't be any differences Fred, the ads are the minimum (UA-cam chooses) and the merch (not proper) has been there for over a year. Maybe UA-cam has changed something
@@ShroomFishing yeah it looks different!
😂
