Chasing Sydney Leatherjacket on ISO Rods

[@worldofaquariums5534]

Loved the video! Any chance you can give the spot?

[@windyfishing9563]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Sure, the spot here is around Pyrmont but we find Leatherjacket all over Sydney. Where there is rock foreshores, weed edges or wharves there will be Leatheries nearby and as Sydney has a lot of rock retaining walls and wharves there are plenty of options.

They are easier to spear as they don't even seem to swim away much and you can get to 1m away from them, easy

[@wolfetone3051]

Ever come across any Surgeon fish there?

[@windyfishing9563]

Not yet and I have fished there a fair bit. I am sure there might be a few around the pylons nearby but haven't seen them. Mind you, I wouldn't stand a chance of landing with the light ISO rods!

@@windyfishing9563 I fish for Blackfish throughout the Harbour and have been destroyed by a few in a matter of seconds,definitely on the bucket list

I have only ever hooked one and it was whilst chasing Bream and it too busted me up in quick time!

Where did you buy the long landing net

[@windyfishing9563]

Heya Mate, you can get them online mostly, there is a store in Croydon Park (ISO Lifestyle) that sell them but they aren't cheap so its best to hunt around online. The handles and net head are separate so you can mix and match. Do an ebay or similar search for ISO Landing Net and some will show up.
