- In Episode 36 Bugsy takes us down to a local ledge in Sydney spinning garfish for the mighty Yellowtail Kingfish ( seriola lalandi) as it is known in Australia, Hiramasa in Japan and Yellowtail in the USA. Rock fishing for this species is always a challenge. Fickle on the bite, hard fighting and always trying to bury you in the rocks. Justin continues to have success on his homemade lures which just keep getting better and better. Rock fishing is dangerous and requires a high level of experience and knowledge of the ocean. Stay safe on the ledge. Always wear a lifejacket, suitable apparel and shoes. Fish with friends and look out for each other. Only fish when conditions are safest. Enjoy the vid!

My heart was pounding bro that leader at the edge! Well fought, much deserved it! 🔥🤙
My heart was pounding too! Haha ... too close for comfort. Thank you bro
Great sesh Bugsy! - SMITHY 🤙🎣🐟
Thank you, Smithy
Great catch bro! I was hoping you also did the cook part of this catch video! Haha 😋
Thank you, Hai. Miso collars were good!
That was seriously close to cutting the line on the barnacles... Amazing stuff! Feels like I need to try the garfish in the morning instead of all the stickbaits that produces nothing.. fish on!
Thanks Jake. It still takes lots of casts. Some guys getting some good ones on stickbaits and poppers lately. Unfortunately, I've been too busy to fish. Holidays soon!
That looks like a very nice fish
They are!
Hey man loving the vids, is there anyway you can make a vid on the gear that you use. Cheers!
Thanks man. No worries. I'll make one over summer. In the meantime, I just added a list of the gear I used to the video description
Hey bugsy, awesome video, well done with the catch! where can I learn to rig a gar like you did?
Hey Ant, thanks mate. If you are in Sydney, Alex Bellissimo is probably the guy to learn from. A few ways you can do it but he knows what he is doing for sure
That king didn’t stand a chance, lucky you had the right gear at the right time and the right setting 🤓
Lucky it all held up!
Could you do a video on how to tie up the garfish lure
Hi Alby, thank you for the suggestion. I am pulling together a to do list but never seem to get to them all. In the meantime, check out Alex Bellissimo's channel and if you are in Sydney I recommended going for a fish with him. He can show you how it is done
Could you list your tackle? New to it all and learning what works for people.
No worries. I just updated the video description to include the gear
Is it better to fish at the low or high tide off the rocks
Depends on the spot. As a rule of thumb, I like low tide for the deeper ledges and high tide for the shallower ones. But really depends on the location
nice catch, what do you mean by "turning it's head"
Thank you. If you put enough pressure on the fish early in the fight you can lead it towards you by turning its head in the direction you want it to swim. If you leave it too late then the fish will turn and swim the way it wants to. It can be the difference between a short or long fight, and may even lose you a fish
@@bugsyfishing thanks for the tip. I hooked up to my 1st King on the Central Coast last month, and was surprised how hard it pulled...seemed to be diving down towards a reef or something for 5 to 10 seconds, then it turned around and I thought it had given up the fight really early. It was basically swimming straight at me and then dove right under the ledge I was standing on and snagged me. Never had a fish ever do anything like that. So smart, I couldn't believe it. Thanks for the tip, that makes a lot more sense now, thinking back to that one I lost
@@darnsmall they are a challenging fish for sure! So strong and always looking for structure to bust you off on
is that blue fish or botany
Good question. I try to keep exact locations secret to respect the regular crew at those spots
Where is the Ledge?
It is in Sydney but I would prefer not to say where exactly
Where is this
A Sydney ocean ledge
I miss you
I miss you too Cole
No time fishing la
Dont miss him. He only spend money at tackle shop, fishing on youtube@@bugsyfishing
wheres the spot?
Hi Nicholas, it's on a Sydney ocean ledge. They all have their day if you do the time. Stay safe
Hi Bugsy, love your content mate. Would it be possible to make a tutorial on how to kill/gut a fish as best as possible and how to tie lures? I know it may be hard due to youtube guidelines but I always seem to be throwing fish back because i dont know to kill a fish without causing it pain. Cheers
Thanks mate. I have a list of videos I would like to make when I get time and they're good ones to add. In the meantime, check out www.ikijime.com for how to humanely process fish
