BIG KINGFISH, LIGHT TACKLE - Fishing Sydney Harbour

Welcome to another awesome video of me and my friends fishing Sydney Harbour. We catch an awesome mix of species in this episode, including Kingfish, Mack Tuna, Bonito, Tailor, Leatherjacket and even a stingray.
The yellowtail kingfish was caught on a Stradic 1000. The fight was very long and it was awesome landing it.
Thanks for watching my video, there will be many more to come, with hopefully more hookups on my end.
Meanwhile, follow my instagram @hoodlumhunter to keep up with my fishing.
Friends I fished with: @jamesclain_fishing , @trentos_7_ , @flickwithmick , @jasper.williams_ , @christians_fishing_aus , @_manavvirk_ .

This never gets old.

Well done on your fish. Robert trying to get out and catch fish

[@willl6551]

Awesome video. I used to live around there, didn't think it could be so productive! Definitely going to throw a line in next time I'm around. Thought lavender bay would be dead, then see you pull a tuna out. Awesome video guys

[@hoodlumhunter]

At the right time of the year it's awesome! Some great pelagic fishing action. This definitely wasn't my most productive session there.

[@willl6551]

​@@hoodlumhunter I usually run a ball sinker with swivel + long shank with peeled prawns. Tired of getting the same stuff every time haha usually bream, snapper, leatherjacket, some flatties and the odd octopus. Really dope to see all this success with poppers and lures like that. 100% fishing there next time I'm there. I'm so mad I never knew it could be like this. Is winter the best time there in your experience??

[@srduckyoce1084]

Nah during winter there is no Bonnie’s/frigate or Mack tuna in the harbour summer is definety the best and use a small hook unweighted half pilchard and you can catch Pelagius easily😊

[@marcusmifsud7426]

What time did you guys catch the king at the ferry warf

[@Nomad_joey]

I just moved to Sydney, been casting lures all day yesterday from Blues Point Reserve.. only caught a small bonito. I'm glad I watched this. Gave me some hope. I was giving up. Was gonna find a new hobby. Making puzzles or something 😆😅👌

[@Sydney-Ghumo]

Awesome. Can’t wait for the weekend.

[@mylesedwin4328]

A tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

[@rylandzain3526]

@Myles Edwin definitely, have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@matthewbeverley7214]

[@FithErmanto]

Awesome man. Big team and big kingfish. Good luck!

[@hoodlumhunter]

Appreciate it! Hopefully some more kings on the way.

[@joshzfishing]

How did you worked the lure you got the king on?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Bouncing on the bottom.

[@joshzfishing]

Hey mate, the place where I fish is at a wharf and the water is about 2-4 metres deep, do you have any tips on targeting fish there?What lure me technique should I use?And also, would a vibe be good cuz of the deep water?Thanks

[@joshzfishing]

Can you bring a 7ft rod on a public bus? I usually catch the bus at 7 so not many people

[@joshzfishing]

What you caught the king on?

[@hoodlumhunter]

3inch Berkley Casper Clear Minnow, what my friend caught it on.

[@amasterfishing5544]

A couple of nice fish, well done mate, almost certain to run into you at this spot some day, will say hello next time, done subscribing too : )

[@hoodlumhunter]

Sounds good. If you ever want to go for a fish just shoot me a dm on instagram :)

[@amasterfishing5544]

Moonman Fishing cheers mate

[@aussie6639]

Great vid, don’t think you can fish off there anymore?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Max Sacco Correct, you are not supposed to fish off the Luna park boardwalk. However, now that it’s closed there aren’t anymore security guards patrolling. They only tell you to move on anyway 👍

[@aussie6639]

Moonman Fishing yeah , I was in Lavender Bay on the weekend, I saw the spot to put the yak in , but the metered parking looks like a problem

[@tb4l747]

hey mate where abouts did you go?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Hey mate. You can find the spot by just looking at the video. Nowhere secret 👍

[@tb4l747]

Thanks mate! also try this spot in mosman off military rd got some really fat kingfish and yellowtails and some crabs

[@joshzfishing]

What rig and bait are you using mate?

[@hoodlumhunter]

For which fish?

[@mako6637]

Keep making great vids

[@hoodlumhunter]

Thanks mate I appreciate it. There will be another one up soon stay tuned 👍

[@jackolmen6547]

Hey again is the maikuro any good and if it is what size u running📍🤩

[@hoodlumhunter]

Hey. The maikuro is awesome for the price. I was using the 6-8KG 7"3' model.

[@legacybrah6413]

hey where abouts is this in the harbour?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Get onto google maps. The harbour bridge is clearly in the video. You will easily find the spot. Good luck 👍❤️

[@dieli9499]

hi mates, are u using lures or live bait? what is your lures?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Lures and dead bait in this video. The Kingfish was caught on a berkley powerbait minnow in casper clear.

[@nickmilan2739]

Moonman Fishing Hey mate. What dead bait were you mainly using? And where can I get it from? Awesome video, I just subbed!

[@deniserowe1779]

Was that the Daiwa TD sol III on the Shimano Maikuro. Daiwa on a Shimano you just hate to see it.🤦😖 Looked like a great days worth of fishing though yewww. 🤙🤙

[@hoodlumhunter]

Haha I bought it on the day. It was my first time using it. The Maikuro and the Nasci on it is now sold. The Sol 3 5000 is now on a TD Black Humphead. Can't wait to take the combo out for the first time.

[@deniserowe1779]

@@hoodlumhunter That Daiwa set up should be pretty good can't wait to see it in the next video. 🤙

Great video boys loved it keep them coming.

[@hoodlumhunter]

Thanks! Will do!

[@cheehoekoon3629]

Hi bro，can you give me a specific location?

[@hoodlumhunter]

Location is clearly in the thumbnail!

[@jackolmen6547]

Love it keep it up mate❤️❤️ (looking to go to Sydney for a fish where should I go?)

[@hoodlumhunter]

Search up Pier 8 in Walsh bay. Pick anywhere along the pier. Cut up 1 pilchard into 5 cubes and toss them into the water directly at your feet. Just use a single hook with a swivel and put a pilchard cube on your hook. Drop your pilchard cube down the trail and let it sink down naturally. You will have the opportunity to catch several species using this method.

[@pingazzzz]

YEA THA FLATSTICK!

[@hoodlumhunter]

Yeah the flatstick, yewww!

[@leaderoffish6509]

Hell yeah boys! love it!!!

[@just.joeking0255]

Awesome video, are you allowed to fish in those spots, because when i passed by a couple weeks ago it said no fishing.

[@hoodlumhunter]

Unfortunately you're not allowed to fish around that boardwalk. But when the amusement park is not open there are usually no security guards and it can be ok.
