@@ParadiseHealthNGardening brother, it's pretty hard to get marks off rock fisherman. We're a secretive bunch and we don't carry chart plotters but I'll give you one that holds big kingfish 33° 51' 22.1724'' S and 151° 12' 54.9216'' E
It's in Sydney on the ocean ledges. I don't name exact locations but all the ocean ledges have their day. And the ledges in Sydney Harbour and Botany Bay hold good kingfish too
Hi Kim, there are a few spots like this in Sydney. Both northside and southside of the city. I do my best not to name spots to respect the crew who fish them regularly
Thank you Alan! Good luck on the pursuit. Things are heating up now and as summer progresses you should get some opportunities. Try a small popper in the 100mm range around structure like points, wharves, moored boats or reefs at dawn in the harbour or Botany Bay. I find a slow pop pop action and lots of pauses sets them off. All the best!
Okay mate thanks so much for your reply, I'm new too fishing so I need all the help I can get 😆 I'm definitely gonna watch your fishing content since I'm also based in Sydney, I haven't caught much and I've only got a cheap setup but damn getting addicted real quick and gonna upgrade my gear and start fishing in Sydney Harbour or even go try rock fishing idk but it's really helping with my mental health and takes my mind off things, so yeah I really appreciate any tips or advice 👍 happy fishing mate.
@@dylanjames97 no worries mate. Yeah it's addictive and a healthy activity for sure. We're just getting into the best time of year for fishing. The harbour is starting to produce and even using light gear and flicking small lures for whiting, flathead and bream on the sand flats is super fun at the moment. Keep enjoying it. Catching a fish is just a bonus
The juvenile or smaller kingfish are commonly called rats. Why is a good question. Because rats are small and there tend to be lots of them hanging together? Not sure
@@bugsyfishing Nice 👍 Sure looks like a lot of fun there. I thought it was going to be a decent depth by the looks of how you let it sink and reel it in 🎣 Keep up the good fishing videos 👌
Hey mate I’ve been fishing if the rocks a fair bit recently around the central coast and have had no luck with pelagics… just wondering if u catch fish constantly of the rocks or if I’m doing something wrong. Thanks and awesome vid stoked for u!
Hey mate, the pelagics can be hit and miss one day to the next, particularly this time of year. This day was full of action. Most days are a bit more hard work for sure. I try to mix it up and fish all levels of the water column when it is slow. Starting with topwater, then plastics, then sinking stick baits at all levels, then diving minnows, then shore jigging. Just to see what is working on the day. And mixing up the colours. But both white and green seem to work well. I'm sure a good fish will turn up soon. It's just a matter of time
Hey mate Bugsy just moved in to Sydney and been looking around some places to fish land based. Whereabouts these ledges in Sydney you've been fishin on mate? Hope to bump in to you some time.
Hey mate, I fish all over both north and south of the bridge. Almost every headland has a decent ledge. Some good land based spots in the harbour too. Lots to explore. I don't name locations to respect the crew who fish them regularly. Hopefully bump into you sometime
@@bugsyfishing hahah same! I do most my fishing during the weekdays. Weather hasn’t been good lately for the ledges. So just binge watching some of your vids. Def will say gday
Hi Buzz, I keep the locations I fish quiet to respect the crew who regularly fish these ledges. There are a heap of good ledges to fish in Sydney both north and south. Not too hard to find online. Cheers
Epic episode Bugsy!!! How good are those surface strikes - aiming for the big dogs with the Saltiga / Tobizo combo! Nice! Be seeing down there you soon bro ;) - SMITHY 😉🤙🎣🐟
Hi Josh, I do my best to keep locations quiet. Kingfish are being caught all along the Sydney coastline at the moment. Yeah, 8 foot is okay. I like something a little longer but my heavy rod here is 8'3" and it is fine
I really like the Maria Rapido 160F I was using. It takes a little bit of getting used to but the surface strikes are addictive. A 100mm popper with a small cup face is another favourite too. The DUO Fangpop 105
Awesome sess brother! The rapido worked better when you sweep the rod pointing down and reel at the same time. But what you did there I think already good too! Check my vid how I did on mine. 🤙
Cheers brother. Yes, I watched your vid and was trying to copy your technique but mine needs refinement. Spewing I lost the lure. Can't find that colour now
@@bugsyfishing thanks bro! Yeah that colour is too good especially in that condition. The B01H also good too, Hopefully you’ll get the size you after next sess🤙
Hi mate, I fish north and south of the bridge in Sydney. The last few days have been a bit slow but I'm sure it will start firing again soon. The harbour and bay are holding lots of bait. I don't name spots to respect the crew who fish them regularly.
Hi mate, this is in Sydney. All of the ledges are firing at the moment. I don't name exact locations to respect the crew who regularly fish these spots.
Cheers mate. It's a GoPro 10. Medium rod is a 9'8" Oceans Legacy Specialist PE2-4 with a Stradic SW 6000 and PE3 Daiwa 12 Strand. Heavy set up is a Zenaq Tobizo 8'3" PE5-8 with a Saltiga 20000 and PE 8 Daiwa 12 Strand
@@jackz5846 good question. It would depend on a range of factors and how lucky you get. Some don't fight that hard. Others go nuts. I want my heavy set up for anything over 80cm just to be sure
You never tell your location of fishing. Enjoy watching your fishing but location are not mentioned 😢
Yeah, got to keep the locations quiet
Wow! That ledge is on fire, gorgeous sunrise and Gianni caught a very nice king. Keep up the great work, loving the videos.
It was a beautiful morning. Thank you. I'm glad you are enjoying them
Is this ledge near maroubra?
Hi Luca, it's in Sydney. I don't like to give away much more than that. Cheers
Location please
Sydney NSW Australia :)
@@bugsyfishing where in Sydney

great session mate. Keen to get out there when the wind dies down
Cheers. Me too!
Was fishing the same day also had great result. It was biting like a crazy
Nice! Yeah, it was just one of those days. So much fun!
Interesting what makes fish in the different areas (I was fishing north part of Sydney) to behave like that. It was hundreds of kings around.
@@ruslansavchenko3793 very interesting indeed. Some known variables, like tides, but lots of unknowns too
How good are those top water takes📸📸 time to get a new rapido 😊
Soooo addictive!!!! More please!
Where's that?
Hey brother, it's in Sydney. I don't name spots to respect the crew who fish them regularly. Pretty much everywhere is holding fish at the moment
Absolutely an awesome day and you caught the highlights.😉🎣⭐️👍
What a perfect morning! Stoked to capture it
What's size rod and reel do you use ? Cheers and great catch
Hi Dylan, I was predominantly using a 9'6" PE2-4 rod paired with a 6000 size reel with PE3 braid this day and 60lb leader. Cheers
Actually it was 9'8" rod

Great video mate! Love the surface action strikes, nothing like it. What model was that maria rapido you lost? Looks amazing
