Grew up fishing on the Port Hacking, Lilli Pilli area for leatherjackets & BF in the 1980s but your video was awesome mate, well done...............sometimes the Port Hacking river can be paradise.
Great to see so many people fishing. good catches to. How about buying the cheapest lures ( either plastic , metal or hard bodies) and see how they fish?
I've lost plenty of expensive lures and found out that time of day , conditions etc, is more important than price. Cheap lures work, just maybe upgrade the hooks and rings. Except for the cheap supermarket vibe lures I bought that floated. 😂
You are a Celeb Bro! Good to see the young Fella's following you Mate. Yeah they can be a tad annoying but you are influencingb them and they don't have thier head buried in a sxreen xonstantlu.
Thanks a lot Vince, I love it! They definitely know how to fish and having a bunch of them at the same age having the same passion is amazing to see and will probably be lifelong friendships between them!
Good stuff shroomster....my brother has been using that exact set-up for a while now. He reels in the dogs and horses well...there's proof of that in my videos 😊.
Hey shroom love the vid man and I love the Kmart and budget series you make I was wondering if you could actually make videos on some snapper, kingfish, bonito etc especially on chrome/metal lures! Whether it’s from Kmart or a tackle shop I don’t mind I’d love to see you catch some of these monsters on chromies! Also I’m wondering if you have ever fished freshwater and your opinion on freshwater fishing if you have done it as I’m yet to try it. All the best ❤❤
iv only bought kmart rods 6000 reel 4 7 kg and line and evything from kmart so far been2 years with thier rods and 10/10 iv cought massive and alout of fish with thier rods
You could catch a good fish on a bent pin and a reel of cotton so $20 no prob for you. Also underwater filming at beach or pier, that would be good to see. Stay blessed 🙌my bro
Cracker vid shroom, ive really been looking forward to your budget videos! Just wondering, for your custom rod, would you like the wrapping on the rod tip to be mildly glow in the dark, or it can be a bright yellow or green, or orange. I have found that having a brightly coloured tip is very useful for day fishing and if your facing the sun. Also great at night time when your using a headtorch! So Shroomy, please let me know which rod tip colour you would like, or if you just want plain black or any other colour of your choose perhaps red. The rod should be fully ready by 1/5 or 3/5. Keep in contact with my teacher. Cheers. Peter.
Awesome Peter, which ever looks brightest at night. Im not sure glow is the brightest strangely enough. Those reflective tape on road workers jackets and road markings seem to be good but I don't know if that's possible
@@ShroomFishing Thanks Shroom, I do have a piece of that tape at home but im not sure how well it will stick to the tip of a rod due to have skinny the diameter is. I'll have to play around with it and see, ill keep your request in mind. If things are successful I'll likely do either the glow in the dark or a bright semi fluro orange/yellow. Sorry about that shroom. Your rod should be completed by 1/5/24! Exciting. @ShroomFishing
@@ShroomFishing Thanks Shroom, i was successful with getting my hands on some reflective tape for you. If possible could you let me know if you reflective, silver, yellow or red. Thanks heaps, lookinf forward to meeting you on friday! @ShroomFishing
Does it count as a $20 challenge if you changed out the line with $5+ of braid? Love to see the challenge with the original supplied mono Love the videos though
My dad had an expensive Silstar telescopic that was fantastic. He lost it in the lake but I went diving and found it again. Then he managed to break it 😢. I have a few really cheap Shimano telescopics and a few dearer Daiwa ones. The cheap ones are pretty bad with soggy tips but the more expensive ones are OK. If you can afford it then the multi piece travel rods from Shimano and Daiwa are better.
Spewing Ted, after all that to break it but hopefully kept some great memories of that thing! Yeah telescopics aren't my cup of tea, I would go multi piece instead. I need to get a multi for cod, one piece expensive rods were a liability the last time I went haha
@ShroomFishing yes, like you said, Shroom, great memories. 👍 I caught my best Cod on a Shimano telescopic and 2kg line. It was like trying to land a submarine. The rod was useless. 😆 You certainly break rods when bush bashing.
We just bought my daughter one of those pink rods from Kmart that light up it's a Jarvis Walker one for like $20-$25 and I pulled a 2.3kg bream on it off our local wharf, almost broke my wrist when it hit the bait the bloody thing because the rod handle is so small.
I like you videos bro but I don’t have patience for kids while I’m fishing haha. I don’t know how you do it. They always want the lure I’m using or try my gear (not Kmart) haha. However I’ll say impressive video but the combo needs braid and not the mono it comes with.
Haha true Zoltan, I had to keep digging through my gear finding them lures but I felt bad because I had not much left of the ones that worked for me haha. Good thing the fish took a few different ones
Hi mate, Don’t know what I am doing wrong. Video doesn’t look right. The main thing I have your video. Get a big one mate. Great rod combo at K Mart. Take care have a great weekend mate😮😊
Thanks Des, are you having some sort of technical issue with the video? I hope you figured out what was wrong with it. If it's blurry could be the resolution
Still some good stuff there, I got a lot of questions about the telescopic when I did the regular 20$ rod and I preferred that one, especially for the kids asking
@@ShroomFishing when I was younger they had Shakespeare bait casters I still have and use one I remember buying an gt jigging rod with a roller and vibes that were awesome now it’s mass produced stuff that brakes
Thanks!
Thanks Gosper! I appreciate your support
Hey shroom guess what I’m out fishing right now and I just caught a 89cm flathead just as I saw the notification
It’s shrooms luck very contagious
That’s mad bro, on a soft plastic? if so what kind?
Shroom always brings good luck! Even better if you like and subscribe to this videos!
Wow that's a croc of a flathead Dominator!
In case anyone is wondering this is Bundeena Wharf in NSW. Its a beautiful little bay, but no fishing allowed on the actual wharf.
Hell yeah pumped for another new video mate. Just found your channel and it’s great, especially being local to the area.
Thanks a lot Buggerwell!
what an exhilirating experience shroom, chasing pelagics on the light stuff are just so fun, good stuff and what a cracka session!
Thanks a lot, got the blood pumping real good !

I love Kmart budget videos
So fun!
@@ShroomFishing yep
Oooo Ive been here, perfect spot for late season Bonnies and Macs, they're running through the system atm. Go get em!
Always nice Toby

That was Mactastic Shroomzie 👌🏼 you and the next gen were on fire , great session on the $20 Kmart special brother !!! 🔥❤️🔥🔥😎🤙🏼
Thanks a lot Gosper! I was stoked with the fun I had catching those macks. Even that smoking was a lot of fun! 😎
your the best fishing channel on TH-cam clearly
Thank you WillHastie, I try to make some good videos for you all!
I don't even watch youtuber fishermen but i love watching you Shroom! Keep up the good work bro!
Thanks a lot Feastwillow!
Way to go bro. Made those kids days meeting you..
Thanks Michael, the kids are the best
Shroom you vids are the best and way better then any other youtuber ❤

He’s equally the best with robbiefishing
G’day Shroom 👍🏼. Great challenge mate. I do like the cheap rod and reel challenges 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼spot on. Great little Mac Tuna buddy.
Thanks Wayne, I think people like seeing me use normal gear for once haha
shroom looking fitter and younger as time goes on. The gym and diet grind is paying off
Hahaha yep the training and diet, we shall see I might look older as I get more defined facial features haha
and your one of the best fishermen I have ever seen.
Great fun Shroom. Kids really enjoyed it. 🐠🐠🐠
Thanks Philtodd, the kids made my day
Onya bro ! I reckon it'd be awesome if you did a catch and cook, love your content brother, keep it up, god bless !
Thanks a lot, I'll do another catch and cook eventually!
Shroom - King of the kids. They were loving the sniff test!
maybe rephrase that
Haha thanks Mal, the kids rule!
Every Thursday is a good day Plus a budget video what could be better?
facts
Lesgoooooo!
Ayyy, this is the Kmart vid you were talking about a couple weeks back on TT. Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it Grimmie!
Geez man! That looks like an epic spot! Wish i could be there with you! As we all know shroom brings good luck!
Thanks Gulp, I love that place. Port Hacking in general is amazing!
Great challenge. I could smell success with the $20 rig
Thanks Hilton, hard rod to use this telescopic, but the other 20$ kmart rod was pretty good!
Love the vid, you should spend a day trying out Kmart lures
Sounds good!
Hey shroom do you think I could know the location of that fishing spot
Hey shroom I would just like too know how to you get far cast with small soft plastic when I cast one it goes know were
Need braid and thin leader Yasir
2:12 "kmart goodness"💯💯
-Shroom
Always love the vids! The budget ones by far my favorite though. Keep up the great content.👍
Thanks a lot, I'll have to keep them in, time to time!
Please try out the squid jig, Jarvis walker ones
Seems a few people interested in that
do a hand-reel only video! i think that would be a fun video idea 😁😁
That one was a frigate , no 3 dots on belly flanks
Props to the grommit camerman, we need to get a fish-off with those kids I think. Shroom v Junior Fishos - who will win...?? 🤔😄
Kids will win everytime!😄
Love the Kmart challenge vids❤❤
Glad you love em!
They are my favourite, I actually caught a bull shark pup with that exact rod!
Would love to see you use the Jarvis Walker Bream lures, bloody everywhere in Kmart
I'll have to keep that in mind William, sounds good
Will do William, I think Ive seen a few comments about the lures
I love kmart videos!
You should do a 100$ Kmart video
Could buy a lot with that!
@@ShroomFishingthe whole store! Lol

Mono to Braid, that's over budget 😅😅😅😅😅 I loved the video work and hecticness. You got a sub.
try the cheapie lures id love to see if they're worth using
Good idea
Nice shroom I love these budget challenges
I got a raise the first thing I did was upgrade my membership to the champ of champs shroom
Thank you Jeff! I appreciate it, I'm grinding pretty hard at the moment to get to 100k eventually and that means a lot to me!
@@ShroomFishing firstly shroom let me thank you I'm 65 and always fished and watching you each week and a few others keep me going
What time did ya catch ‘em ? THAT VIDEO WAS AMAZING BRO 🎉❤❤!😂

Screaming reels and a challenge!
Looks like someone got a haircut haha. I haven't gone fishing in a madddd while.
Seen someone get a gt on a Kmart rod in Cairns
That's heaps cool James
Does it count as a $20 challenge if you changed out the line with $5+ of braid?
Love to see the challenge with the original supplied mono
Love the videos though
Epic shrooomy ur making the broke guys happy lol (BOBBIN HEAD REMINDER)
Nice and timely reminder! Haha yeah I gotta use cheap gear once in a while instead of all the high end stuff haha
Can you please try the Jarvis Walker hard body minnows in a future video? It would be great to see what you could catch. Thanks!
Sounds good Mattlee, I reckon that video is a matter of time!
What camera are you using to record?
Hey shroom what rod and reel was that in the vid, the silver reel pls let me know
The small one was a Daiwa Exist 2000DP
kmart combo coming in clutch
Thx shroomie for doing this remember me from ur TikTok lives
Yep!
Nice and early tonight mate ! I'm on it now . 👌👍🎣
Yep, enjoy this one David!

Haha wow, that is a monster bream! No wonder your wrist was feeling it, no doubt the rod didn't help in that regard haha
Love ur videos bro
Thank you!
Shroom do you follow the afl and if you do witch team do you follow
Not at the moment but I follow 'Cheer, cheer the red and the white...'
why did the line change colour ?
I put on a cast and a few wraps worth of some old kmart line from a previous video to cast the light lures (20lb~ mono just wouldnt cast)
Is it castle hill shopping centre?
Hey Shroom where’s my bonus points? You’re 100% at Hurstville Westfield. Am I right? Amazing vid as always!!
Yes you got it! Well done
Try catch squid on the Kmart squid jigs
Might be an idea that
Maxima ultra green was the best mono you could buy back in the day bro. Not sure they even make it anymore
Yeah I haven't seen that for ages if not years
Hi shroom what wharfs do u recommend around Sydney to catch different species of fish and that are a good sizs
THe harbour wharves like Cremorne offer a lot of variety and good fish too
yeah but you rigged it with braid, I was hoping to see you use the mono that came with it.
Yeah I topped it with a few metres of braid from the other kmart challenge, maybe $1 dollar worth hahaha
Shoorm I know what shops they were, Hurstville Westfield!
Nice one Zac, you got it!
give us viewers use $25 rod and 4 lures includes prerigged soft plastics and pack metals. And some bait hooks.
That might be an idea RobertRoss
What is this spot called?
I believe it's Bundeena Wharf and to get there you can easily catch the ferry from Cronulla Wharf to Bundeena Wharf. Have a good day!! 🎣
Thanks
Was that at Kmart Hurstville ? Great vid btw !
Yes TJ good guess~

whats the rod called
Telescopic
Swear every time i've fished there been dead quiet, except the sand bar, should come fish coaly usually pretty on
Can you please do a big w challenge with 100$
I gotta find a big W, I went into one and no fishing gear lol
You should do a video using lollies for lures like snakes etc
I bought a pack once and I ended up eating them during lockdown lol
do a 100 dollar diawa or shimmano combo videos
Interesting idea
Where is this location and what time?
Yea buddy letsss goooo hahaha❤ I still own that rod
Haha nice, good to hear
Wish i could see you at hurstville sometime
You might
