Have watched all your videos and absolutely love them . Started fishiing at 8yo at the beach. Loved it then. Progressed to boats and niw at 70 im back to the beaches for whiting bream whiting etc.For me beach fishing has no equal. I love to watch the sunrise with my feet in the water and the bonus is catching lovely fresh fish.
I love beach fishing too. So peaceful and relaxing punctuated by a fish capture if I’m lucky. As I only visit the beach occasionally as I’m in Central West NSW I take two beach rods and a smaller spin rod for tossing little lures or plastics. I tend to overthink it sometimes and feel I just should concentrate on a species instead of trying to cover all bases. Less hectic for sure and a helluva lot less gear to lug around. Thanks for the vids you produce I really enjoy watching them as I’ve fished those areas you do a lot as a younger fella. I used to frequent rocks and beaches from the Garie Beach to Crescent head. My favourite would have to be ???? They were all good for differing reasons.
@@jefflouis5658 I agree about not overthinking things to much when it comes to fishing because you are not only there to enjoy fishing but also to enjoy your surroundings 👍 Glad you enjoyed watching😉
@@letsgofishing3249 Hey Ed, The Blue slugs are Glaucus Atlanticus a species of sea slug in the Glaucidae family Part of which is stated above Cheers Stevo
@@letsgofishing3249they don’t actually produce the stinging cells themselves but they sting because they predate Portuguese man-o-war/blue bottles and retain the stinging cells in their tentacles , nature is so cool 👌
@@Stevos_HookedonRods4844 I did have fun that's for sure. The rod is a home built rod that I built from a blank I bought years ago. I don't remember what the blank was.
I love whiting fishing off the beach, but from what I learned it's better to find a beach that is next to some inlet like a lake or a river, what do you think of this theory mate? Only asking because I want to try some beaches that are much closer to home. TIA
@@marcog.5410 well, in my experience when targeting Whiting of the beach is that location is a crucial factor. A small gutter sometimes holds fish and most novices cast straight over the top of them. If you fish on the edge of a gutter that is where they hunt things stirred up by the wash. No need to have a mouth of a river.
@@stevem4660 the main reason is to keep them cool and the seagulls won't pick at them. The tail sticking out of the sand is also an indicator to where you buried it.
@@letsgofishing3249 Ohh ok Thanks. Just wanted to know, because i have seen a couple of people doing it on UA-cam. Just didn't know what it was for apart from bleeding them.
Love old school - simple, effective and durable!
@@franksaunders6534 for simplicity there is nothing like it.👍

@@HarryJohnno.99 thanks for your comment. Been using the old Alvey for many years and still enjoy using it.

All the best Richard
It sure is

Grew up fishing this style at Moreton island Qld , I still have all my dad's hand turned wooden alveys , great video mate !
@@jimzzful hand turned wooden Alvey....wow! 👍
Great video thanks Ed great overcast conditions and a nice gutter and a making tide and you got some fish, well done.
@@GarryWestwood-uv6ob thanks mate. I don't mind conditions like that to fish.
Growing up following dad down the beach, it was gang hooks and pilchards always. Now though, I'd like to try going after bream and whiting.
@@shanevillis4079 as a young man I used to love fishing for tailor with gang hooks although Whiting are a much better table fair.🙂

Big tailor biting U off
@@markbennett3187 no I believe there where sharks because we got a salmon with a chunk missing from it that I didn't show on the video.
Well that was a bit of good old fun, least they were biting
What rod were you using Ed, she looked like a bit of a weapon.
Cheers Stevo

It's certainly a weapon Ed, i like it

Is there a reason to why you bleed the fish under the sand?
@@stevem4660 the main reason is to keep them cool and the seagulls won't pick at them. The tail sticking out of the sand is also an indicator to where you buried it.
