Beach Fishing basics (catch, clean, cook)

G'day Legends, this week I get the sand between my toes and get back to my roots fishing some surf gutters for bread and butter species. Beach fishing is something I used to do a lot of as a kid so, to get the Alvey back in action was a real treat. There is also a bit of rock fishing and beach worming thrown in there for good luck as well! Hope you enjoy the video and get inspired to hit the beach for a cast!

Getting back to basics makes you appreciate the better days out on the water for sure for sure, but at least you enjoyed yourself, and that's mainly what fishing is about. Stay healthy Mr Sammy - the big bearded Leprechaun

[@joegoedhart1259]

Not basic mate. Fishing off the back of a boat is basic. This is an art.

[@gavinswanson666]

Love the beach Sammy , taking the Garry Howard Breambo 4W and the Alvey 500B for a session to DI this weekend. I`m hoping the government don`t stop us as I think beach fishing is a great way to isolate.

[@gavinswanson666]

That's been crushed for now.😭

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

Gavin Swanson Yeah they closed all the national parks 😭😭😭 nooooo!

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Great fishing.. Nice

[@breambo3835]

Its sacrilege to fillet Bream. The wings, cheeks and crispy fins and tail, when fired, are just delicious.

[@6knots6]

nice work, tailor off the beach, ya can't beat it

[@jordangarnsworthy616]

Good stuff fellas! It’s certainly no breamvitational, but looks like a fun few sessions!

Jordan Garnsworthy can’t be a breamvitational without the full crew. We were just training

Great to see ya again Sammy, BCF keeping ya busy mate. Nice feed of bream don't go astray.

Hey Sammy Awesome Beach Fishing video !! I was just wondering Sammy what size rod would you recommend me getting for your bread and butter species like your Yellow Fin Bream and Whiting on the surf and what pound mono or braided line would you recommend me to use on the Alvey reel for this style of Fishing Sammy !! Thanks Cheers William !!

So a ringing phone is the same cost as a spilled Barrow on a concrete pour. Who knew? And who's missus is actually up that early? Luke's😂👍 spending isolation catching up on fishing videos, thanks fellas.👍

[@robwhite240z]

I could easily watch a half hour of no talking and just listening to the surf, as a idea for a video.

nice catch bro

[@RevIt66]

More land base fishing would be great, love fishing but caught bugger all in my 50 odd years, just spent over a grand on fishing gear recently after selling all my late brothers boat gear, spent lots that at BCF, now my kids are grown and have lives of their own it's time for me to chill and learn this great hobby/sport, but i'm land bound and get down the south coast when i can, so would love all the hints i can get, lol.

[@cainlloyd5117]

Love the vids mate I hope after all this covid 19 you get to head to Perth and do some vids mate (only cos I live here lol)

15:45 I thought you had to measure fish as the tail naturally lays, love the vids just wanna know if it's legal to pinch the tail.

Blake Paulger Yeah mate, has to be in a relaxed state to be legal size. I was just trying to get an idea of size while holding it up for the camera.🍻🍻

beutiful day nice spot also

How do you rate the quicksilver dry bag?

Last beach fish i did ended up few bream and a couple stingrays lol

[@jackvoodoo2900]

as every old time alvey vid will tell you dont set the bloody hook you wind twice LOL love ya stuff boys

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

JackVooDoo i don’t quiet understand what you mean? Wind twice?

[@jackvoodoo2900]

@@SammyHitzkeFishing in all the old alvey DVDS they always say why the bloody hell would you set the hook when using an alvey your using a rod 10-13 feet for bait fishing off the beach and they arnt desinged for hook sets where you jerk the rod back thus taking up slack and jamming the hook in all your doing most of the time is misjudging the timing and pulling the bait or lure away from the fish 6-9 feet and a bream in the surf wouldnt have a clue where its gone with the 1:1 gear ration on the alvey that are 6 inch and bigger two winds of the handle retrives 1 meter per turn of handle. more then enough to smack a good bream or tailor as long as your using quality line and hooks

[@kizzyaggots1]

Great video Sammy could it be possible for you to do a video on topwater fishing for large summer Whiting in estuary creeks please?

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

I’ve already done a few of those if you scroll back through the list mate 🍻🍻🍻

[@kampfuchs5192]

I have one of those rods left over to me and I have no idea how they are used, I cannot really find infomation on them, it just leads to fishing with flys.

[@stewartmackenzie7304]

That's my fortey

[@systemsrenegade9888]

You should have 15kg line out with one of those dart on it as a live bait as the big mulloways love them off the beach.

[@SammyHitzkeFishing]

System Renegade If I found a decent enough gutter I would have put a Livie of some description out 👌👌

Great video mate save some fish for me

Sammy mate you need to make a bucket hat of some sort

[@jamesleadbeatter3632]

That looks like patches peach

[@pyra6517]

wheres this at mate?

[@thedon9670]

Why not use circle hooks then put your rods in holders. Crank up another rod and do some spinning? Best of both worlds and you wouldn't have all those missed sets that you did. You'd end up with a lot more fish.
