Absolutely love this channel. Found it on instagram couple months ago, now is my hideaway and excuse for fishing. Thank you shroom for not only documenting your fishing, but also recording it in an easy-to-understand language. ❤
Very few youtubers cover Port Hacking. Excellent vid! Would love to see Maianbar sand flats fished for Flatties and Whiting too. Usually good fun there. Grays Point can be good too from the shore.
Yeah I grew up in Maianbar and still go back a few times a year to visit family. Ive never managed to catch anything there and would love to see how to do it haha. Catching the Bundeena ferry to school a few kids would chuck a line out and troll behind it, they caught stuff but I dont recommend it :P
Planning on looking for flatties along the edge of the spit this week, maybe around the drop offs at cabbage tree basin too. Wish me luck, I’ll need it…
G'day Shroom, geez it's been a while since i fished that area....not the same rickety wharf i fished off many years ago. A great spot though, maybe try further around past Jibbon Beach with heavier gear. Love the vids mate maybe you could try up around Brisbane Waters or even the The Entrance sometime. Tight lines buddy. Cheers Gary
Thanks Gary, I may need to wear a lifejacket next time because of the new rules, but years ago, it was a great spot to fish. I’m definitely going to try some of those other ideas as well.
Hi mate, a bit late. ⏰ watching football. If I knew I would have watched a bit earlier. Hope you catch a Big flathead or bream. Your videos make my day or night mate. You are a TOP guy. That fish looked like small tuna 😂
@@ShroomFishing I wanted to send you a little present. But don’t know where I would send it. I don’t sleep much as I was in traffic police when I was young had bad motor bike accident. Now stuffed spine neck and back had operations need more but would have any more operations. to old now 😂 Take care mate
Hard luck to the young fella. When they get under the pier, there are sooooo many things that can go wrong, and they usually do lol. Fun times on those tuna o light gear.
@@ShroomFishing only the locals would know. It's the jetty near the fish and thai restaurant out here. Also do you have a video of your video recording and audio setup?
Hey Shroom, any chance you will be trying out the new, Daiwa bait junkie prawn? I think they sell them as ISO's and a few other places in Sydney. I'd love to watch your experience with them.
Hey shroom nice video i have a question about lure retrieval i normaly hop it twice and let it hit the bottom then wait 5secs and hop it again on paddle tails and grubs about 3inch long is there any better retrieval for more success?
Saw the new certate LT 2024 just came out, the price is cost all the same as exist. Is it worth to buy exist? Can this reel take a beating? I heard it is mainly use for fresh water? What you think?👍
That Mac would make good strip baits, leave it in the sun for a few hours then freeze it.... when it thaws it will be nice and oily and stinky for a nice cut bait.
@ShroomFishing not sure there but I found out the hard way years ago, losing my gear was bad the feeling of being ripped was worse. Now I leave nothing and the glove box open as a sign to potential thieves
personally I like these type of videos much better over your usual parra river videos. Good vid shroom
Thanks a lot Jim, I can't fault that! These sessions are just something different and I don't get to do these that often!
@@ShroomFishinghow come you can’t do it as often?
Good old Port Hacking, I haven’t been there for years. I fished it day and night out in my boat. Love the Ultra light action 👍🏼
Thanks Wayne, it's a beautiful place and very popular for good reason! I definitely put the rod to the test, it was bending to it's limits 😎
Thanks to kennykoalaz5922 for the immense support last week! This is a special video I have prepared to express my thanks and appreciation!
Thanks shroom for the shout out and the vid
@@kennykoalaz5922respect++
@@kennykoalaz5922 it's my pleasure!
Your style is quite good! Keep going, excellent videos.

Welcome aboard! I need to get back to posting on IG again, I've been busy editing another unrelated project for the last few weeks
Well done Shroom persistence payed off.
Very few youtubers cover Port Hacking. Excellent vid! Would love to see Maianbar sand flats fished for Flatties and Whiting too. Usually good fun there. Grays Point can be good too from the shore.
Such a good system and I'll see if I can get something going at some of those places Roberre
@@ShroomFishingThanks! Another good one to see would be any of the Cronulla beaches for salmon etc. Easy access there too.

Great video Shroom! Thanks for sharing 👍
I appreciate it Max
Great video mate! Snazziest looking fisherman out on that jetty bro hahaha . Good catches on the small rigs 🤙👌
Hahaha thanks Aaron, consider it my uniform 🤣
Good fun on light gear! 👍
So good it was Feartheduck 🤗
I wish I could catch a Bonito, but anyways good video as always and keep them coming!
Me too Ant! I'm gonna keep trying new things to see if I can get some bonito before the season is over!
Just another amazing video, love seeing you catch polagics
Thanks a lot WonderfulWhaleShark! It's a good day whenever pelagics are involved!
Wow what an amazing video keep it up Shroom, I always look forward to your uploads!!!
Thanks you Levi!
Great video mate! Personally I like to use 20-30g metal lures and fast actions for McTuna, they pull real hard, a lots of fun!
They arnt Mac tuna
Thanks ChangLiu, it's a mad feeling when a fast spun metal get's walloped!
Well there you go, I think I saw you down there filming. Plenty of guys down there looking for kings at the moment.
That was probably me I guess Ben haha, I’m just after a good time haha
Looks so fun, wish I could do what you do everyday!!!
Thanks Tankda!
Epic bro! loving the palegics

Bundeena Beach. Amazing spot
That is the coolest baseball cap!
I have to say that's the coolest Ive seen too!

All good Des! Thank you for the kind words and they looked insane in and out of the water!

So good Andrew. Yeah, that run underneath the wharf was sizzling 😅
Yes shroomy, please more of these type of video's... 💥💯🔥
Thanks Mohamed! Glad you enjoyed
I've caught plenty of Pelagics (Tuna, Mackerel, Bonito etc) but I've always used metal lures though.
The metals go alright!
Nice Video Shroom. A jetty here at georges hall on the georges river has been pulling massive bream and jew fish
Wow, is it busy at this current time of year? I mean there is only one jetty in that area area that I can think of that I go to
@@ShroomFishing only the locals would know. It's the jetty near the fish and thai restaurant out here. Also do you have a video of your video recording and audio setup?
Good job Shroom 👏
Thank you Danny! I'm glad you enjoyed this magical sesh!
Looks like great fun on the ultra light gear...jewie bait Shroom😉
If it’s a good Jewy bait, maybe I should use it for that!
@@ShroomFishing yeah they love oily fish so anything in the tuna family for dead baits work excellent👌🏻
another banger shroom nice video liked this one it was different
Thanks Finn, what a sesh
Great video Keep the good stuff up and catch the dogs 👍
Thanks Loochdaman, we got em!
Hey shroom how heavy jigsaw heads to do you normally use for soft plastics
shroom i was at the piers in sydney today but so many bonitos and trevellys no kingfish tho and they werent feeding when there was
Wow that’s amazing and the stuff I expect from the piers!
You should try for tuna here, my friend hooked a tuna here off the wharf
What type of tuna Kristian? These fish (frigate mackerel or mack tuna) are part of the tuna family
@@ShroomFishingI’m not sure, the fish ate the hook but my friend said it behaved exactly like a tuna
Awesome vid mate! Makes me wanna go fishin rn!
That's the way!
Nice one Shroom. Your videos makes me crave to go after work everyday!
Are those fish in this video also edible?
Thanks Buddit, get out there! Yes they are but I don't know if they top table fare
Wow what bullets in the water they are! ever considered doing this off rocks to chase pelagics??
Yes, I've thought about it. Probably one day I'll give it a go
Hey Shroom, any chance you will be trying out the new, Daiwa bait junkie prawn? I think they sell them as ISO's and a few other places in Sydney. I'd love to watch your experience with them.
Shroom?
Hint to an upcoming shark session, high hopes for that
I reckon it’s gonna be a good Adrian
Ha ha ha . A late one mate . Thats cool , on it now . 👍✔🎣
All good David, enjoy this video!
@@ShroomFishing had an hour on the fresh today mate . 2 bass . One 36cms . 🤙✔️🎣
great work brother!!
Thanks a lot Travlav! I tried hard and I thought my day was done and it finally happened! I was stoked
Another banger from shroom
Lesgooo !
Good stuff well done
Thanks Dave
Hey shroom nice video i have a question about lure retrieval i normaly hop it twice and let it hit the bottom then wait 5secs and hop it again on paddle tails and grubs about 3inch long is there any better retrieval for more success?
There are Filip but what you’re doing is good enough. I would keep doing that.
think that was a bonito you caught?
What time of day was this filmed at??
hey shroom was this the 3 inch power bait minnow?
Yep it is
Awesome bait there
Very good bait Tim, I rate them!
Where in the part of port hacking is this?
Was hoping Shroomy had the tuna tubes ready in the backpack 😅
Haha what are they Peter? Like the live bait tubes haha
Did you go down to the rocks off the other beach? Decent hunting down there.
No I didn't because that's a rock fishing zone now so needs life jackets so I was not prepared for it!
@@ShroomFishing the rocks facing the beach (right at the far end) are protected by headland. Some interesting stuff down there.
@@spyburn007 Yeah it's a nice area, I fished it years ago before the new rules on life jackets and I haven't been back since but that's a good idea!
Bundeena = heaven on earth
Saw the new certate LT 2024 just came out, the price is cost all the same as exist. Is it worth to buy exist? Can this reel take a beating? I heard it is mainly use for fresh water? What you think?👍
I would go the certate for heavy work. The exist is tougher than it used to be, but the cetate is made for the job
Good job、 was the reel 1000 reel?
It was a 2000 size reel, so pretty similar
Up the Shroom🎣🔥🔥
Lesgo!!🔥🔥
Damn man I gotta get me some of that action.
So good Michael 👍
That Mac would make good strip baits, leave it in the sun for a few hours then freeze it.... when it thaws it will be nice and oily and stinky for a nice cut bait.
What’s the sun do to it Daniel? I just threw it into the freezer
@@ShroomFishing Just makes it a bit greasier/smellier and softer, it will still be good as it is.
Do you recommend chasing kings on the run up or run down
Depends where I am going
Yeah buddy!!!
interesting, a style of fishing that I haven't tried as an estuary fisherman...
Yep, not too common, I guess most people get em off the rocks Peter but you know me and rocks haha
yo shroom legend where in the port hacking is that because i wanna try to catch my first mac tuna if u can tell me thx
They arnt Mac tuna
There's literally only one wharf in all of Port Hacking Gaminghub but I know they have been swimming past a few other areas
Hey shroom how would you use a Halco outcast 40g ???
I would spin them or jig them Dominator
Shroom da best 😎
Yesssss thanks Eliasself!
That’s a frigate mate , the Mac tuna have 3 black dots on underside of belly
Yeah, most likely.
Hell yeah!!!
Where exactly is this jetty Shroom? Can you pin the location mate ?
Frigate. So good as sashimi in a poke bowl!
I might give it a go one day haha
Any swim offs shroom?
You mean like bustoffs? I had a few strikes that came off but I didn't get smoked luckily
When are you going to get a kayak mate ?
Not yet Jack, but possibly in the future
Another species down !! Great vid brother on the light gear too 🙌🏾
Thanks Matt, I'm addicted to them already!
shroom you da man!
Lesgo!
Port hacking slaps
Sure does Scott!
Can you do a video for BRAYS BAY PLSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Like right in the Parra?
@@ShroomFishing Yeah
La Isla Bonito. Eat fresh with a side salad of leafy greens.
Sounds good Fred, maybe one day I'll eat one!
Can I make an edit of you Shroom?
Yup 👍
@@ShroomFishing Alright, I will comment back when it is ready 👍
That's me😂
Shoutout to Chuzz!
First shroom !

Impressive stuff dude
Got a rat 😊
Nice one, Dave 🤙
Why did you blur out the sign are you trying to hide the location ?
There called banito
Yewww
i think its a bonito
YE SHROOM
Lesgooooo!
oh messi
looks like a bonita
Well it’s bo
Not
It might be, I think that's what Americans call them. We call these Mac Tuna (or possibly Frigate tuna)
@@ShroomFishing yeah good shark bait though
Mac tuna.
It’s a frigate mate
Those speedsters!
No.
Don't leave gear in ya car mate, thieves love fishos cars
Yeah, what’s the theft like at that place?
@ShroomFishing not sure there but I found out the hard way years ago, losing my gear was bad the feeling of being ripped was worse. Now I leave nothing and the glove box open as a sign to potential thieves
Hi shroom can I get a shout out please
First
more or less!
:)
The thing you caught is a bonitio
not a bonnie at all its a frigate
Don’t be silly it’s a frigate
