  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
  • Fishing for groper with a plain type Alvey reel is an experience you need to try out. The one to one retrieve, direct wind and using your fingers and palm of your hand as a drag make it that much more difficult but in some ways that much more practical. Just taking advantage of a day off from being a fishing guide to doing some me time fishing for myself. Conditions became more and more windy, swell increased so i had to fish a lot of spots to get my fish. it gets the fishing brain working.

    Just watching your videos provides so much instruction….especially when to set the hook. Watching your patience when the first tell tale sign of a grouper take then waiting until the rod loads up proper certainly gave me and I am sure many with much valued information. I am only new to your channel but I know I will not be straying away in a hurry. Thanks for sharing.

    Great video as always, Alex! I learn a lot from you, watching your videos over and over, reading the water you fish, watching where you cast etc. You have definitely made me a better more mobile rock hopper. Many thanks, Alex!

    Nice to see the Live Fibre and Alvey still doing the job Alex 👌 I bet that combo has caught you many fish and has survived plenty of knocks and dunks in the salt over the years. Great catch mate 👍. Another great vid. 🍻

    Blue groper are my favorite cold water fish and the Alvey is definitely the way to go when fishing for them. Usually the further the walk in the better the groper fishing.

      @AlexBellissimo  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Jeoff
      Yep one of my favourites as well.
      That can be the case with a lot of spots especially in Sydney. You may need to walk a long distance to get a positive result.

    Cracking vid Alex, and a few very nice fish. You first location was a good example of how inexperienced rock Fisho’s can come undone. To the untrained eye it looked in the most benign and flat (lull) but like when were back-peddling prior to hooking up the first fish, the swell/surge appears from nowhere. Inexperienced blokes could/do get caught out like that with at times ending in tragic circumstances. Seen that you were on the crab 🦀bait, what were you berlying up with.

    What sort of depth of water do you usually look for with grouper
    I think I know why iam not catching any , iam fishing to deep water
    You can see the sand and rock bottom in the video
    Do you need white water or can you fish the flattest of seas with no swell ??

      Thanks for mentioning you liked the vid.
      Regarding the depth you will certainly catch them in deeper water as much as shallower. You don't necessary need white water like the majority of other rock species. Thanks again
