How to Catch Fish for Food with no bait | Landbased Fishing Australia

In this episode, I do a bit of land based rock fishing in Botany Bay to catch some Bonito for dinner. These are a great light tackle sport fish which visit Sydney rock ledges towards the end of summer and stay for a couple of months until the East Australian Current retracts. The conditions stabilised and it became a cracka of a day with a hot bite occurring at first light. We also got a little Yellowtail Kingfish surprise on light gear towards the end so be sure to watch the whole video. Hope you all enjoy the video!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ABOUT FISHING WITH MARKI MARK ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
I’m Marki Mark, a passionate saltwater fisherman from Australia that likes to go out for a flick and land some fish. I generally fish from wharf's and piers primarily using bait & livies however not afraid to use some lures when the right time presents itself. I want to share my experiences, tips & tricks as fishing is great sport, highly addictive and makes a good day out with family & friends.

Botany Bay headlands mate, I don't disclose exact spots on public forums due to rock fishing safety. Thanks for your understanding.

[@jzfishing103]

Do you reckon a Daiwa double clutch would do the job as well?I mainly fish in the harbour and discovered lots of garfish in a bonito’s stomach and a double clutch is slimmer and slightly longer perfectly fitted as a garfish profile, would that work as well

[@jzfishing103]

Hey man what lure are u using,btw I am planning getting a few Rapala x-rap long cast lure do u think it would be effective?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey man, I showed n explained in the begging of the video. Was a Rapala X Rap Magnum Cast 40g bibbed :) Hope that helps.

[@hangyu0211]

Fantastic session, Mark! I guess those stick baits and slow jigs will also work for pelagics in the harbour, right? Or are they too big for the inshore kings, tailors etc? Thanks.

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Thank you mate, was an awesome day! Yes that's right, they little 40g 10cm x rap is perfect for all pelagics in the harbour in addition to 3-60g jigs, little bite size snacks :)

[@hangyu0211]

@@FishingwithMarkiMark Thanks for your reply, mate. Is there any particular jig or brand you would recommend to start with? I have done a lot of bread-and-butter fishing along Parramatta river and only started chasing pelagics recently. Slow shore jigging looks pretty fun to me! : )

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

@@hangyu0211 Mate so fun! I think Palms jigs are your gold standard. Have a read up on them which explains the depth they fall at, i switch them up for my depth and target species. Gotta have a few in the arsenal. Thing is for bigger fish the hooks bend so make sure to upgrade them :)

[@intensehotdog]

@@FishingwithMarkiMark yeah that would make for a mad vid, if you dont mind me asking, how long is ur leader when running braid to mono? like when u go live prawns unweighted?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey man, for instance bait fishing off wharfs and piers for kings, i run fluro as its more dense - making it sink faster especially when going unweighted prawn. Also more transparent in the water and has more resistance around pylons. I go two rod lengths then 7-8 wraps around my spool. As when i go off a Pier the leader is all the way up to my fishing level. This helps on light gear to lift up fish.

Guys please throw ur fish guts back in the water feed the smaller fish or whatever that may come... take it home for burly for next trip even. Just don't leave it in the rock pool like this guy 15:15 it can seriously stink up the ledge & make the rock pool mank. No one likes stepping in mank water rockpools.

Firstly, Please don’t assume anything as you were not there. The crows and seagulls devoured the scraps in seconds as soon as I moved. Also just because I don’t film anything extra doesn’t mean it didn’t occur, so don’t assume. I was there cleaning up other people’s rubbish and left 20 mins after the video ended. I make it a ritual to clean up what I see and keep an additional bag In my backpack. I always throw my scraps in the water. Thank you for your highly considered comment!!
