Tip - when any fish hangs you up but you’re still on, you need to free-spool for much longer than what you did - 5 minutes is not out of the question if you really want to get it.
Sydney sure is nice at times if you can take a moment to absorb the surroundings. Even some passing kings at your feet as a fleeting wildlife encounter 😁
Kingie1: Look, this fisherman has so many nice lures! Kingie2: Let's help him buy some more... In all seriousness, I can feel your pain, man. Losing 4 lures in one session, damn, damn, damn...... But can I say this is one of the most exciting videos on your channel. So congrats on that!!! : )
Thanks James! It was a forced rollercoaster ride, where I suddenly got strapped in and lost my phone going upside down screaming - the whole works haha. Glad you enjoyed it and went through some of the emotions I did!
@@hangyu0211 Haha that's amazing! I think I've had worse bass fishing, fishing really skinny waters deep in bush but this one is the worst in recent memory haha
That’s so beautiful how humble you were after getting smoked by those Kingies and admit sometimes it’s the fishes turn to win. I personally don’t like watching people getting done, hard to watch, but some cool action too, can’t wait til I hook up to one. A big one followed in a small Flathead I was pulling in, the other day, right in my local Estuary, about what 90cm, lucky it didn’t hit that Flattie as had v. light gear, see ya!
BEEN WAITING FOR TODAYS VIDEO , I FEEL PUMPED I GOT MY MOTORBIKE LICENSE TODAY BRO HAHA , GOING TO BUY A TELESCOPIC ROD AND TAKE THE SPORTS BIKE FISHING xD

Nice one matey... I'm from Indonesia and used to study in sydney, loved to visit sydney again soon after the vaccines or covid is done.... nice one mate
I remember once I tossed my bait a under a jetty and then hooked up and it spooled me in like 8 seconds, by the way, what retrieves apart from walking the dog do you use on the sugapen?
@@ShroomFishing i feel you bro... when im on too not just my hands are shaking and even my knees too... hahhaa i feel you bro... Nice fishing vids...👌🎣👍😁
Hi champ. Those Kings looked like great fun on light tackle, but unfortunately to land Kings you really need to carry much stronger gear? Great to watch, keep trying. 👍👍
Thanks Raymond! Unlikely at this stage because I don't have anything substantial to say about it (or the new Edge's). Love those rods as you can tell but! Maybe if I get asked about them in a live stream I'll say something about it!
@@ShroomFishing oh dang! No wonder its so hard to catch them. Here in Washington we have king salmon as a close equivalent but amberjacks are really fast I heard
@@jb-es5zj yeah mate, sorry, haven't been that motivated to edit, had a nice sesh on jews yesterday, planning to edit tonight and drop sometime tomorrow, thanks for being patient
Ha ha! This happened to me yesterday near Cabarita. Fishing for bream on the 2.5 in bloodworm grub when the Kings came through. Hooked up and lasted about 5 secs on 6lb braid and leader. Would love another shot at it!
Haha wow, almost no chance there Daniel! I can't think of a good place to run across them in that vicinity and not get smoked! You gotta go back and bring the heavy artillery
It was 10lb on the light rod and either 14lb or 20lb on the NRX/Stradic. I thought I was going conservative for bream. Haha, yep PE5 is exactly what I needed! 😂
@@ShroomFishing Don't go too hard on them in the early stages which you didn't. You were unlucky on that 1st fish. Around some underwater obstruction that you had no way of knowing was there. But you didn't let the fish run too far. You don't have a choice on bream gear. You should maybe take a heavier rod with 20lb braid just in case. That was great footage so don't look upon the day as a complete loss! ,
Best video ever! Shroom. I’ve watched 7 of your videos and this one is my favorite. So action packed. Doesn’t matter if you didn’t landed any of those kings. Love hearing the drag scream. If you had to do it again equipment and gear wise what would’ve given you the best advantage? Thanks bud.
This video gets the blood pumping every time! Excitement, challenge and tragedy, a straight roller coaster. If I had to do it again, I would bring the medium gear (the one with the stradic in the video - still got smoked) and a setup a bit heavier (4000 Twinpower and 6-10kg Battler Hotdog). That *should* do the trick
@@ShroomFishing Always watch your videos B4 publishing, though its no big deal lol. I use to manage Jones Bay Warf and use to get some large king fish off there right at the end of the Wharf. Dont let security tell you you cant fish as its a public wharf and written into the bylaws but one of the best wharfs to fish off opposite the casino.
Insane mate! I'm just trying to comprehend a sight like that! Each fish is a dream fish wow. Haha yeah, definitely need the heaviest of tackle and biggest slice of fortune from lady luck!
Yeah bit of luck is always needed, and not a bream outfit lol! I caught a 21kg on 15lb and a 2500 in nz when looking forward snapper in 4m reef and that was resting and then lost 3 more on the same gear, switched to a 5500 with 50lb and could t find them lol that’s e draw man. Trouble is having that outfit for when they show up, 15 - 20 would do them but then try cast a slippery dog on that haha! Good luck next time bro hope you nail one!
Amazing footage champion, adrenalin is a bitch when your trying to tie knots or leaders! One of my most remembered days was very similar at Glebe, hooked 4 kings and landed none, but what fun ha, luckily I was only using bloodworm slim swims and not $25 lures. It hurts loosing that many but the great memories for life, ease it a bit, amazing video mate, well done,
Thanks Anthony! I was fumbling, tripping and mumbling to myself getting into all sorts with the tieing haha. That's awesome that you got an amazing session out of that; just suddenly getting strapped into a rollercoaster ride without permission haha!
Shroom, I've been looking alot of videos but luckily found your video very good. You have given very easy details on your descriptions. SUBSCRIBED 😁 Can you tell me other lures online similar to this. I've checked your given link but it's out of stock now. Thanks to you 😆. Also about this location damn I had to spend like hours to find it. Your video pumped me up to start fishing. Whats the good time to fish these kingfish?
Oddly enough. A few years ago I fishing on Avalon pier in Nags head NC early one morning catching some Spanish and some blues nothing special. Next thing I know I’m fighting for my life on an abu Garcia silvermax when I hooked up on a kingfish with a gotcha plug😂. I actually somehow managed to get this thing to the pier and an older gentleman helped me net it onto the pier. To this day I could not tell you how I managed that, but what I can tell you is that reel never worked again!😂
l know that location well as l sometimes take a stroll in part of the harbour foreshore, l rarely see anyone fish there. Been a while, l may need to revisit it with new eyes.
Yeah the bust ups hahahah wonder if the million dollar king was there 🤔😂😂😂😂😂
Knowing my luck, there probably was! 😂😂
Tip - when any fish hangs you up but you’re still on, you need to free-spool for much longer than what you did - 5 minutes is not out of the question if you really want to get it.

@@ShroomFishing any time. Really enjoy your enthusiasm that comes through in your vids. Good luck with the kingies and keep up the great work 👍
i have never came across a school of kingies swim by me apart from bust ups on a boat, jealous!
It's insane Petoz! It just suddenly comes up and you just freak out haha 😯👌
Why has it taken me this long to find this channel...this is amazing
Good job mate, those kingies is like “Thank you for your lure”
Thanks Brian! They took it without hesitation!
I'm sweating just watching this! Amazing footage.
You and me both! I had to blur my crotch in a part because my zipper somehow became undone hahaha
Mate that’s nuts! Looked like a load of fun.
Thanks for 40k subs shroomies! Love you all! 🙏
It is good day when shroom uploads
Thank you Arthur! That's the idea!
I like the intro, like a Miami vice style lol
Nice Vid as always Shroom! Loved em since the beginning! Keep it up! Keen for next one!
Awesome Reinhardt van Staden! That means a lot and thanks, will do 🙏
Very very entertaining clip it even got my adrenerlin going and i recon you will never forget that sestion, well done.
Thank you John! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that memory is one that will live forever. It got the heart pumping!
Sydney has some nice fishing spots😁 awsome video never seen kings that close to shore before.
Sydney sure is nice at times if you can take a moment to absorb the surroundings. Even some passing kings at your feet as a fleeting wildlife encounter 😁
Whats a good beginner $200 combo to run for kingys
Bait fishing for kingies off wharves?
When your here while at school watching a bit of shroom
Haha nice one Jordan! Last period? 👀
What rod are you using?
Kingie1: Look, this fisherman has so many nice lures!
Kingie2: Let's help him buy some more...
In all seriousness, I can feel your pain, man. Losing 4 lures in one session, damn, damn, damn......
But can I say this is one of the most exciting videos on your channel. So congrats on that!!! : )
Thanks James! Plenty more days of losing lures like that I'm sure haha. Glad you found it exciting as it makes it more bearable!

What is a good rod to buy for fishing 🎣
I get all my friends to watch your videos soon we going and start off as a team to fish 🐟
Hey, what is your target species and budget? I'll see if I can point you in the right direction

Awesome vid bro! Been waiting for your videos since lst week 🙂
Thanks Kevo! I hope it was worth the wait!
@@ShroomFishing definitely is. Dont worry about what happened in the vid at least you had fun aye!
Bro what rod do you recommend for a 2500 certate $400 buget
Shimano Zodias 270 ul and you'll have a hundred bucks spare.
Mark Rigg has a great suggestion. Depends on your application and brand preferences. If you have any specific needs let me know 👍

Hey mate can you fish a top water lure with fast action rod?
Imagine you hooking up the million-dollar kingie and as you lift it the line snaps
defs be suicide bombing onto it
Matt Evans lol
could you tell me where that spot is? Also, could you also review solstice point please
where?! please! bro it's amazing
can you please post your fishing spot.
Wow amazing footage, its like they were teasing when he got you on the snag
Definitely! I thought I had him!
Thats awesome vid mate. I would dive on top off those kingies n catch one. lol. That was lots of it man.
You and me both! In hindsight, I should have just dived head first right into the thick of it and stunned about 50 of them with the shockwave haha
Expensive little session, hope you can go 3 for 3 next time! I've been getting big whiting on those lures.
Yeah that was a costly exercise Bennett! Just doing my bit to keep the Australian economy strong 😂
Is that a braid or leader line?
I'm using braid
Cracking vid bud going to throw my splash right now you got me keen what a day ya had
Same here Dylan... except I need to get more surface lures again haha
Nice one matey... I'm from Indonesia and used to study in sydney, loved to visit sydney again soon after the vaccines or covid is done.... nice one mate
Awesome Ongky! Yeah, things are looking up and hopefully return to normal this year! I'd love to visit Indonesia one day
That's great vision mate well done
Thank you mate! I always have my attention on the surroundings 😎
I remember once I tossed my bait a under a jetty and then hooked up and it spooled me in like 8 seconds, by the way, what retrieves apart from walking the dog do you use on the sugapen?
What tide would be the best time to run into them?
Hard to say Jacob, if only they were that predictable
Awesome video!
I hope u dont mind me asking, but where was this filmed. I understand if u dont wanna tell me but pls reply :)
Read his description above about naming locations!!!
Where ls that spot
Sucks man. I lost my last sugapen this morning to a king. They always show up when your on light gear.
Spewing Niall! They didn't get their fill after taking all mine and went for yours haha.
where is this
Great vid. Never seen a school like that before. Next time!
It's a dream encounter Pies Paddles! I've had my fair share of encounters like this so it does happen!
What area is that ?
Is that iron cove bridge?
You're shaking dude... 🎣👌😁
That adrenaline rush was insane Yul! 😁
@@ShroomFishing i feel you bro... when im on too not just my hands are shaking and even my knees too... hahhaa i feel you bro...
Nice fishing vids...👌🎣👍😁
Hi champ. Those Kings looked like great fun on light tackle, but unfortunately to land Kings you really need to carry much stronger gear?
Great to watch, keep trying. 👍👍
True Gregory, need heavy tackle sometimes. The medium gear at the end still wasn't enough but it was good to get a run out of that fish haha
Smokin the reels great session mate CHEERS.
Thanks Tony Cools! The reels had to put in real work there 👍
Great vid mate, as you say that’s fishing!
Absolutely Sean! Thank you and that's what keeps us going back~
Amazing actually I’m jealous haha!
Thanks Cuda Kitok! I'm still amazed and shocked!
I am dreaming of catching Kingfish landbased as you did... jealous. Good luck next time.
Thanks Chi Wee Sen, I hope you have better luck that I did here
thats was sick bro, what an expensive day! LOL
Thanks Rambo! It was a rough day; like bombing a hill on a skateboard and getting to the bottom and stacking it haha
Will be there on the weekend Shroom , hopefully they come back again . 👍🎣
Good luck David
Yep really loved it.But fudge it was expensive. is there a replace my Sugapen go fund me lol
Yep lol, my backside still hurts thinking about it but it was fun lol
Would you trust a 5000 on a 4-8kg with kingy's
I would but just be mindful of locking up a 5000 as the rod is the limiting factor
Also got a 6-8kg but nothing more than that and it doesn't match the colour scheme so that's also a factor
Well done mate 👍
Where about this spot at Sydney ?
Well done Shroom doesn’t matter mate you still had three good hook ups and the footage 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Thank you Tom! It's all in good fun at the end of the day and I'm glad you enjoyed it mate
Love your videos mate 😶
Thank you Alzeonno Alzeon!

Artak, you can catch them all hours of the day but mornings are prime. I've caught more early morning than any other time.
That was fantastic, I wish we could get Kingy's land based like that ..
It was a dream Tim! Except I couldn't land any but wow what an experience
That is outside my apartments! I was never down the front at the right time!
