I love beach fishing too. So peaceful and relaxing punctuated by a fish capture if I’m lucky. As I only visit the beach occasionally as I’m in Central West NSW I take two beach rods and a smaller spin rod for tossing little lures or plastics. I tend to overthink it sometimes and feel I just should concentrate on a species instead of trying to cover all bases. Less hectic for sure and a helluva lot less gear to lug around. Thanks for the vids you produce I really enjoy watching them as I’ve fished those areas you do a lot as a younger fella. I used to frequent rocks and beaches from the Garie Beach to Crescent head. My favourite would have to be ???? They were all good for differing reasons.
@@jefflouis5658 I agree about not overthinking things to much when it comes to fishing because you are not only there to enjoy fishing but also to enjoy your surroundings 👍 Glad you enjoyed watching😉

I love whiting fishing off the beach, but from what I learned it's better to find a beach that is next to some inlet like a lake or a river, what do you think of this theory mate? Only asking because I want to try some beaches that are much closer to home. TIA
@@marcog.5410 well, in my experience when targeting Whiting of the beach is that location is a crucial factor. A small gutter sometimes holds fish and most novices cast straight over the top of them. If you fish on the edge of a gutter that is where they hunt things stirred up by the wash. No need to have a mouth of a river.
@@Stevos_HookedonRods4844 I did have fun that's for sure. The rod is a home built rod that I built from a blank I bought years ago. I don't remember what the blank was.
Love old school - simple, effective and durable!
@@franksaunders6534 for simplicity there is nothing like it.👍
Growing up following dad down the beach, it was gang hooks and pilchards always. Now though, I'd like to try going after bream and whiting.
@@shanevillis4079 as a young man I used to love fishing for tailor with gang hooks although Whiting are a much better table fair.🙂
Grew up fishing this style at Moreton island Qld , I still have all my dad's hand turned wooden alveys , great video mate !
@@jimzzful hand turned wooden Alvey....wow! 👍
Hi Ed, have to agree, any type of beach fishing is good.
All the best Richard
It sure is
Great video thanks Ed great overcast conditions and a nice gutter and a making tide and you got some fish, well done.
@@GarryWestwood-uv6ob thanks mate. I don't mind conditions like that to fish.

Big tailor biting U off
@@markbennett3187 no I believe there where sharks because we got a salmon with a chunk missing from it that I didn't show on the video.
Well that was a bit of good old fun, least they were biting
What rod were you using Ed, she looked like a bit of a weapon.
Cheers Stevo

It's certainly a weapon Ed, i like it
