Fishing and spearfishing a Sydney ledge in winter - Bugsy Fishing Ep 33

In Episode 33, Bugsy Fishing takes us fishing for Yellowtail Kingfish off a Sydney ledge and then jumps into the water to explore the underwater world and go spearfishing for Black Drummer and Luderick for dinner. Come enjoy a morning on the ledge. Rockfishing and spearfishing are both dangerous activities. Always stay safe and know your limits. Wear a lifejacket while rock fishing, appropriate clothing and footwear including cleats. Take your rubbish home with you. Protect our environment. Thanks for watching

Loved it Bugsy! Nice to see a different angle. We're always looking from the top. Would've loved to see some kings swim by. Keep 'em coming. Mr G🎣

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you G. I've been so curious... it was good to get a look underwater

Loving the content Bugsy some awesome clips, unbelievable what it looks under the water. Also cant say no to free lures and jigs haha !

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you Anthony. Free lures and jigs are a bonus for sure!

[@anyplacewilldo]

So cool mate keep it up 👍 😊

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you mate!

[@oceanrambo]

awesome video mate,im happy i got to see whats under that ledge,cool video once again..

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you mate. Hope you've been getting a few fish

[@oceanrambo]

@@bugsyfishing gday again i re watched your video again, i noticed you also dive with a freedom 7 as i do, have you seen any serious sharks with it on??

[@bugsyfishing]

@@oceanrambo hey mate! Yeah, I've been using them for almost 20 years now. When I first got one I tested it with bronze whalers, bull sharks, and white tip reef sharks. I found it worked better with the bigger sharks. Perhaps it is because they have more surface area on their nose and more Ampullae of Lorenzini and therefore are more sensitive to its effects. Just a theory. It has worked well as a deterrent but definitely not 100% effective

[@Jayeffhi]

Mate you cleaned up on The fish and especially those lures 😂 might have to get the snorkel out myself

[@bugsyfishing]

Haha... best underwater tackle shop around

[@shanekay8278]

Love the content. How do you compare the taste of Drummer and Luderick side by side. I'm yet to taste either lol.

[@bugsyfishing]

Cheers Shane. I like drummer better personally. The flesh is flaky, white and moist. Really good. I like luderick too but I usually steam them with spring onions, and ginger and then top with hot peanut oil and some soy sauce.

[@HaiFishing]

Amazing what it looks like down there! Giving me some great ideas on what lures and bait to use for those species down there. Thanks for sharing bro!

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you Hai. Yeah, it's great to get that perspective. When editing, I noticed there was a tarwhine in the school of luderick. Interesting to see which species swim together too

[@indosydneyfishing]

Hai, I think some of it were ours 😂

[@HaiFishing]

@@indosydneyfishing Haha high possibility

[@niccoli31129]

How good ! Looks like a entirely different spot with these conditions

[@bugsyfishing]

Doesn't it?! So incredibly flat that day

[@TheWeeklyFlick]

Nice video, fascinating underwater footage! Trying to work out if that's my local spot haha

[@bugsyfishing]

Cheers mate. It was good to finally get in the water and check it out. Haha... I'm still trying to work out where I was too. I try to keep it nondescript

[@TheWeeklyFlick]

ofc I get it, big kahunas for getting in the water there, thx for sharing!@@bugsyfishing

[@alby910]

What lure were you using when u caught the 60cm kingfish

[@bugsyfishing]

I used a whole garfish as bait

That was really cool and nice to see the different species along with your comments. The big guy on the floor, was that a flattie? Are you comfortable with the shark device? I can imagine the amount of lures being down there, looks pretty bad with all the braid floating around. It's kind of hard to know what the ocean floor looks like from the ledge, but this gives you a pretty good idea. What's the difference in underwater vegetation during winter and summer, do you know? Fun stuff, thanks for making the vid.

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you, Jake. I'm not sure what that big fella on the floor was, perhaps some sort of shark. Didn't get close enough to have a good look. The shark shield works as a deterrent - I've tested it on bull sharks, bronze whalers and some others. It definitely helps but not 100% effective. Not sure about the the vegetation. I'll have to pay more attention. Yes, I definitely want to get rid of more of that braid. Cheers mate

[@Davide608]

You shouldn't show the advantages of swimming under fishing ledges mate! That's my tackle shop! xDDD

[@bugsyfishing]

Haha... thank you!

[@lonelymuro]

Hey brother I’m new to the fishing in the area and I’m just trying to wrap my head around the terms people use with the wind direction. When you said northerly winds do you mean wind coming from the S pushing up N or is it wind coming from the N down S?

[@bugsyfishing]

Hey brother, wind is named by the direction from which it originates. Northerly wind blows from the north to the south. I didn't realise I mentioned the wind direction in this vid. Good pick up

[@lonelymuro]

@@bugsyfishing thanks for your reply bro!

[@nasirahmad211]

Wheres that spot hahaha😅😅😅

[@bugsyfishing]

Haha! I'm not sure I remember where I was haha
