11:08 valuable information!! Thanks for all your tips and knowledge... it's great to give lure fishing a rest every now and then and get back to bait fishing, great insight 👍🏼
Loved the Video Alan. I lost a really nice size flathead there on the long weekend, it was at least 60 or 70cm. Broke the leader on the rocks. I was just about to grab him.
Thanks Jared, oh no about the flathead. Thats the trouble when fishing on the rocks you always lose a good fish here and there because its really challenging to land
G'day allen, nice snapper he looks about 2 to 2.5kg. Not a bad spot at all for 'em. fresh salmon or yellowtail scad for bait works well but also the banjo's love 'em as well.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the effort you put into this. I'm a land based fisho these days. Its good to see how others approach it and deal with the conditions.
Great expertise and advise. Enjoyed the details of your presentation. Do you have any hints on best surf beach fishing between Somers and Flinders in Westernport?
Hi Alan, I hope that you get to 100K subs very soon. Love your work and really looking forward to meeting you in person... Been waiting all year for warmer weather and snapper season. Watching you whilst overseas and now I'm back home. I'll start my land based very soon and your tips help myself as eager beginners a lot. You are truly an asset to Melb beginner anglers. Keep up the wonderful work. Hope to see you or meet you in person Cheers
Thank you so much for the kind and positive comment. So much work goes into the channel and providing helpful guides for other anglers. Im sure we can catch up over a land based fish at some stage. Take care and good luck out there
12:32 This is a problem. On the one hand, while fishing at a jetty you have to retrieve fairly fast because hooks and line get snagged on the rocks. On the other hand, a lot of people who use soft plastics say to retrieve slowly because many fish will leave fast moving bait alone but will attack slow moving bait.
Yep, that's my go to snapper outfit for PPB. The reel is a Sustain FJ 5000 spooled with 20lb braid and the rod is a Atomic Arrowz AAS-70MH 10-25lb. I've painted the rod tips to help with visibility. The rods are OK good value, the reel is excellent.
Got a full step by step vid in the FishingMad members area on how its done. I used marking tape for the guides and White Knight Squirts white paint primer. Can be a tad fiddley, but I'm really pleased i did it for my bait rods.
Can you tell us which reel, and which strength line you were using in this video? On your blog you said you paired this 9ft rod with a 3000 size reel and 12lb braid, but you also said in your blog that you paired the smaller 5-8kg rod with a 6000 size reel and 22lb braid. But confusing as to why you would only use 12lb line on this rod unless that was a typo? Did you mean 12kg? Also I know this is very basic, but how are you transporting your rods? Do you lay your seats down in the car and put them on top? Also thanks for all the videos and tips, they are very helpful, I'm learning estuary and river fishing but want to start learning surf fishing
The rod was a Savage Gear 1DFR 9 foot 6-10 kilo but feels much lighter, the reel was a shimano sustain 5000 compact with 20lb braid. The other combo i had was much lighter. The rod is a 2 piece and easily goes into the car with the middle back seat folded down.
Thank heaps for the reply, I am gonna save up and copy that combo (except probably get a cheaper reel) for when I'm ready to try surf fishing. Gonna learn the basics just on the lighter smaller rod I got, and wanna learn soft plastics as well as I only know how to bait fish currently. I am very much a beginner and learning pretty much everything from your channel, nobody taught me how to fish and my friends don't know much about it either. You're my favourite fishing channel I have found so far, the way you explain things is really helpful and simple.
Hey mate I'm disabled and see there is a path could you pm me and let me know the area cheers love the video be careful mate you don't want to end up like me
@@OG_m0nk3y yeah mate it's bloody hard to find spots for disabled I asked but it's like pulling teeth to some there is some good youtubers there that will help when you tell them you're situation
@@fishingmad scuba booties all are terrain and the flexibility helps with gripping and staying balanced as you can feel the ground underneath I use em for spearfishing where they protect your feet getting in and out of oyster/rocky terrain

G'day allen, nice snapper he looks about 2 to 2.5kg. Not a bad spot at all for 'em. fresh salmon or yellowtail scad for bait works well but also the banjo's love 'em as well.
yeah fresh salmon has been a standout bait the last few weeks. Your not wrong about the banjos either.
2nd. Great videos, love you chill approach, keep up the great work.
Awesome, enjoy the vid !!
So much info to take in. Cheers bud.
Glad to help !!
Love these videos. So does Hunter. The rig talk with images and the tip to hold the rod up and reel fast to check baits were great tips.
Thanks !! I'm glad its helpful. A tad different to the setup we used under the west gate that time as was targeting bigger stuff
Great video and good content, solid advice. Portarlington is my favorite spot 😊
Very informative video ... Thanks.
your very welcome, thanks for watching
Thanks for this. I appreciate the effort you put into this. I'm a land based fisho these days. Its good to see how others approach it and deal with the conditions.

Hi Alan fantastic video is that Portarlington breakwater ? Cheers
Hi Allan great vid could you detail the atomic arrowz rod and reel your using please mate
Yep, that's my go to snapper outfit for PPB. The reel is a Sustain FJ 5000 spooled with 20lb braid and the rod is a Atomic Arrowz AAS-70MH 10-25lb. I've painted the rod tips to help with visibility. The rods are OK good value, the reel is excellent.
Great idea with painting the rods mate did you paint both can I ask what paint you use?
Got a full step by step vid in the FishingMad members area on how its done. I used marking tape for the guides and White Knight Squirts white paint primer. Can be a tad fiddley, but I'm really pleased i did it for my bait rods.
Great video, new member here looks like a great spot do you mind sharing the location?
All the details will be added to the members area "episode Insight" section. ill have it updated shortly.

4.50 the snapper got a bit happy
Hey Alan, is this portarlington rock wall?
Thanks, will do!
@@fishingmad Thank you very mutch... have a nice day.... see you….
do you fish with floats?
Yes but not for snapper as I prefer being able to cast baits out further.
@@fishingmad thanks, would love to see a video about float fishing on kayak haha. Got snagged alot with sinker and experimenting floating
Would chicken also work well as bait?
Yep 100% pinkies love raw chicken, i think you cant go past pilchards, squid and silvers
Hi Alan why don't you reply where this video was taken ?
Good to see a bit of land based action 👍🏽
Looks like a good spot, whereabouts is it ?
Yes asking the same question
There’s only one place that looks like that at Bellarine Peninsula…it’s the Portarlington Breakwater.
@@genemarignacio6896 Thanks 👍🏽
Could you please tell me what size rods and reels please allan
I was using a 9 foot 6-10 kilo rod paired with a Saragosa 5000 reel. You could easily fish a bit lighter then this
