man, watched all your videos, so good. I travelled in Tasmania the past 4 months and got into fishing from zero experience. I’ve only been doing bait fishing atm, but havnt tried much hard body lure fishing. I also just got back to Sydney and travelling up north in a few weeks, can’t wait to try and play around with hardbodies. Your video really got me inspired and hyped up 👍🏼
Looking at the Penn Prevail 2, 9'6" like yours. Any opinion on the 902SH...9' but 15-25lbs. Is giving up 6" for the extra strength using an 8000 reel, worth it?
I've got the 902SPH and I use it with a 14000 size reel with 50lb braid. Works well with heavier lures. The 9'6" with a 6000 size reel is better for casting lighter lures in the 40 - 65 gram range. Much more distance. I'm not familiar with the 902SH. Hope that helps. I found the 9'6" is good for spinning but it isn't very good for shore jigging hard to get a good action. I actually upgraded to a 9'8" Oceans Legacy Specialist PE2-4 for shore jigging lures up to 80 gram. It has a way better action for that. But the 9'6" Prevail is still a good rod for spinning lures for sure
@@peterjamesnopia2292 a 9 foot plus rod with a 6000 size reel and PE3 braid with 40lb monofilament trace is a good all round set up. Will be able to land some kingfish with that too. Go for a 10 foot rod if you want to do shore jigging too
@@bugsyfishing Hi mate, may I ask why 9'6 is not good for shore jigging action? Is it because of the length or the blanks action? Will 10' help or better to get a dedicated shore jigging rod?
@@linhan1845 yeah, it really depends on the action but it is length too. Depends on what weight jigs you are using too. I have a 9'8" PE2-4 rod and it works fine for jigging but a 10ft rod would work better in my opinion. That extra length helps with giving the jig action. But I catch fish on the 9'8" rod so it an incremental difference but the next shore jigging rod I purchase will be around 10ft for sure. Talk to your local tackle shop.
Great video. Cannot believe the size of that bonito! What safety gears are you wearing? A life jacket and fishing boots? this place seems dangerous to me
Cheers brother. I was surprised by that bonito too. Yes, definitely need to have a healthy respect for the power of the ocean. I wear a life jacket, rock cleats on my shoes, light clothing that I could swim in if necessary, I fish with others and we keep a close eye on each other and the conditions. I use the Manly Hydraulics Lab website's Sydney buoy to get an accurate reading on the swell conditions. I choose days where conditions are safest
Hi mate, in respect of the people who fish there regularly I try my best not to give away the spots I fish. Ledges in the north and south have been fishing equally well recently. Cheers
Hey mate, I don't name spots to respect the crew who fish these spots regularly. There are a few ledges like this on the north and south sides of the city. Only accessible on the calmest of days
Sydney. It was a Penn Prevail 2 Medium Heavy 9'6" 10-15kg rod and a Shimano 6000 reel (I think it's the Stradic SW, I've got a Saragosa too) with PE2.5 Daiwa 12 strand braid and a 40lb (or maybe 60lb) monofilament leader. It was a few months ago now
@@timmytwinkletoes2203 Both good reels, but from my experience I would choose the Stradic SW 6000XG. It seems to be slightly better quality overall, the drag feels smoother and the anti-reverse feels stronger for some reason. Couple it with Daiwa 12 Strand PE 2.5 braid, 40-60lb mono leader and you have a solid reel for most of the kingfish you will encounter in Sydney. For snapper I use a smaller reel and 20lb braid, 20lb fluorocarbon leader
@@bugsyfishing Thanks for the reply mate, Is PE 2.5 braid equal to 50lb? and would that braid also be suitable for the Saragosa 6000HG if I where to choose that?
@@uhhbam I live right near there and hate it, crowd is so bad worse place to fish unless you like fishing shoulder to shoulder. I like having a ledge to my self
Agree with you there mate. Let me know when you find a good one to yourself, I'll come join you. Part of the reason I don't name spots. There are so many, no need to put extra pressure on one or two. And I respect the crew who fish these spots regularly
@@bugsyfishing Hey mate how you think of this combo, a Shimano Anarchy 6-12kg rod with a 5000 Sustain with 30lb braid for some light jigging and rock fishing?
@@brucewu3622 hi mate have you fished this spot? It looks very safe ledge in calm conditions. These spots are not reserved for local fishermen anyone who wants to try it should be allowed to. Most of us who lives inner suburbs dont have any knowledge of fishing spots. Why are these youtubers showing this uploads paying respects to locals infact most of them outsiders them selfes. Sharing is caring. Lol.
Hi Con, I'm using a Penn Prevail II rod in 9'6" Medium Heavy, Stradic SW 6000 reel, Daiwa PE 2.5 12 Strand braid, 40lb monofilament leader, and the trusty DUO Blazin Rough Trail 110 Minnow in Ivory Halo
@@conokrasa987 tight lines. Hopefully the swell subsides and stays small enough. I use the Manly Hydraulics Lab website to check the Sydney buoy swell reading
This video helped inspire me to catch my first bonito, cheers bugsy!
Awesome!
love your work legend your just such a pro at it
Thank you

Cheers Ben! Much appreciated. I can't wait to fish Tasmania. Looks amazing. So much fun exploring and throwing lures around. Enjoy!
Get into spinning yesterday!!!! Bait fishing is good but if you got a budget get Daiwa BG reel and a good 20/80 or 30/120 rod
WOW that's a cracka day brother. Awesome to see your practising safe fishing along the rocks. 👍
Thanks Tux. It was an amazing morning. Safety is a priority for sure!
This looks like so much fun!
So much fun!
epic sess man , prevail 2 action was great one
So much fun! It has been a great rod and perfect for that session

WoW… Nice Video mate 👍👍👍
Cheers Gudel!
Nice video mate! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers mate!
That’s awesome mate , nice fishing spot, where’s it ?
It's in Sydney but I can't divulge anything else. Got to respect the crew who regularly fish there
Holy crap that was insane 2 in 1! Imma try that lure next time. Great sess bro!
Yeah, that was crazy! Those lures are the good. Cheers
Very nice mate well done 👏
good lure and great spot as well .
Where about this spot in sydney ?
Amazing alot of fun
Cheers Oscar. I fish north and south of the bridge. Lots of bait in the harbour and Botany Bay at the moment. Everywhere is firing! I don't name spots
where is it, looks great fishing point
Hey mate, this is in Sydney on an ocean ledge. I don't name exact locations to respect the crew who fish these spots regularly
Hi mate which month off the year was this if U don't mind me asking
I think it was March. Couple years back now
Love these sessions man! Sick video
Too much fun! Cheers legend

Do you think a Pe 1-3 rod would do the job for shorejigging with PE 2.5 or 3 saltiga braid for bonito off the rocks?
Hi Josh, for sure. Even the PE2 Saltiga 12 strand would be good with that set up. Breaks at 36lb. I'd run a 40lb monofilament or fluorocarbon leader

Is that 12 saltiga braid good?
Really good!
how big was the bonnie? I caught a 71cm as my first one on pilchards
It was about the same size, just over 70cm. Nice work on that as your first bonito!!
What lures are you using
Hi Simeon, this session was the DUO Rough Trail Blazin 110 minnow in Ivory Halo. A great lure. Super hard to find though
What rock cleats do you use bro ?
Hey bro, I use the Snowline Chainsen Pro cleats. The ones you pull over your shoes
@@bugsyfishing legend thanks bro !
wheres this at north or south sydney?
Hi mate, in respect of the people who fish there regularly I try my best not to give away the spots I fish. Ledges in the north and south have been fishing equally well recently. Cheers
Hey, maybe turn down the wide camera to linear view just so we can actually get a sense of the size of the fish
Good tip. I have started to film them with my iPhone once I have landed them since making this video. I will try linear too. Cheers
Nice video sir and i like 👍😍🙏🇮🇩
Terima kasih!

Hi, all of Sydney is fishing well at the moment. I avoid naming spots to respect the crew who regularly fish them

Definitely Sydney. The land of slippery ledges and sandstone cliffs. Plenty of spots like this. I'm interested in why you think it isn't though
