Rock Fishing for Beginners in Australia

[@pinochetsghost33]

Ironically I met you boys on a ledge here in NSW when I hit the stones for the first time with a new rod and accidentally cast over one of your lines. Absolute madlads for giving me a pass and a few pointers. Happened ages ago but I'm 97% sure it was you lads. Videos like this are massively helpful to the uninitiated and are my go to for friends who want to start rock fishing while I'm away for work. Mad props kings, keep it up.

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

You can't confuse us, we're the bunch of blokes that makes a lot of animal noises when we hook up 😁 Glad we can help, this sport is too good to keep to ourselves. Hope we bump into each other again 👍🏾

1st video I watch for you, and the subscription then was a must.

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Thanks for the support 👍🏾

[@antonioradulescu1724]

I love your Chanel because you always describe exactly what gear and which rods are good 👍

[@edwardwargem1894]

Awesome video with great information for us new to rock fishing and fishing in general. Thanks

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Glad it helped mate

[@franksaunders6534]

Well put and great video! Speaking of big kings, in 1999, my mate got a 31 kg hoodlum from the Tubes on a whole live squid in June - man that was a fish!!! But, he put in a lot of hours for zero results and with every trip, especially the blanks, he learned a bit more and edged that little bit closer to achieving his goal - a big 20 + kg king! Yours will happen one day too and if it reefs you like his did back right off, free spool and confuse it. Sometimes luck, skill and nerves of steel can win the trophy fish over.

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Wow, 31kg is NZ size. I'm crying about the one I lost off the breakwall. Time and patience is key. But to land a 31kg kingie off the stones is next level skill.

Love watching your vids mate. Keep it coming oosh oosh

[@ra2emelului977]

Hey thanks for the videos.. attended your sessions at little bay yesterday which was really great.. here for more 🙏

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Hi brother. Glad you enjoyed the session and thanks for the support 👍🏽

[@joelvanpamelen6700]

Wish I lived in NSW for these big LT off the rocks. Not to much in SA. Great videos boys keep them up

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Thanks mate. You might need to travel to WA, QLd, or northern NSW for a better chance on LTs.

[@indosydneyfishing]

Mantap bro, these guides very useful and the links too! Ossssshhhh

U are such a good person mate

Love the message in this video bro!

Awesome video mate, everything you said was spot on, thumbs up , someday might see you on the rocks somewhere bending a rod , take care and tight lines . 👍

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Thanks mate, appreciate the support.

Hi team, For gear, would surf rods and reel be the same as rock fishing? Any thoughts on the Penn Prevail 2 9’6? Looking for a versatile setup for both rocks and beach.

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

You can, but surf rods & reels tend to be heavy, so if you're ok to cast with heavier gear all day, should be no problems. One of the boys uses the Prevail 2 rods for rock fishing no problems.

[@ricocapili6990]

The urge to catch more and bigger push some people in trouble ending in tragedy like Hill 60… when you just arrived and the spot is all wet that indicates a no-no place for casting. A few wave counts and a huge one can take you out, always learn to leave one eye on the sea, remember life can not be replaced. Everyone one should safely go home to their family, enjoy another fight. Always carry a child shoulder float you can pump air when you fall it helps on the water. I bring along carpenters rope a baseball tied sa dulo you can throw when someone falls. Extra emergency big starlites at night for rescue to find you. Always put on your metal spikes to avoid slip as I nearly went in after getting pulled from a big bite. Do not over tighten the drag let it run and strike after. Watch your step when the fight is on many accidents happen. And for those who just watch assist by alarming rock fishos it helps. Most waves hit the rock breaks that’s fine others kept filing up and that’s dangerous and more on bending sideways rather coming straight at you where it can be seen easily while some go deep build pressure and climbs suddenly. Most got signs before it hits on top. Just learn to read like the ancients do. Great observants, happy fishing!

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Very true and great points. Have you lost someone close due to.rock fishing?

[@ジョンジョン-d4d]

hey man i noticed u said that the sedona is a good reel to start with but checking the specs it says that the 5000 only holds 200m of pe3 braid. do you reckon 200m is enough for rock fishing? cheers man

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

PE3 would be to heavy for 5000 size reel. Best would be PE2 or 2.5, so you could get over 250m

[@ジョンジョン-d4d]

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thanks for the quick response bro appreciate it. Ive got one more question for u. would an atomic arrowz offshore 7ft 2pce 14-30lb with a bg5000 and 30lb braid be good for beginner rock fishing and canals and shit or would it be too heavy? would i be better off with maybe a raider 7ft 6-10kg with a 5000 sedona and 20lb? sorry for wording this comment so shitty haha

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

@@ジョンジョン-d4d the BG has more grunt & drag than the Sedona, but BG is more expensive. For rods, we would recommend nothing shorter than 9ft. You need the length to land the fish.

[@ジョンジョン-d4d]

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew how about the weight class? Id like to use it in bris river and the bay, land based too?

[@kyfisher3662]

For going off the rocks and hoping to catch some decent sized kingfish what size Rod and how many kgs? and for the reel what size would you go?

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Our recommendation for rock fishing would be: Reel: Shimano Saragosa 8000 Rod: over 9 foot rod (Oceans Legacy Specialist) Line: PE 4 or between 40lb-60lb Leader: 60-80lb

[@HaiFishing]

Pick up your rubbish and other people’s rubbish if you see it and dispose of it properly! Leave the location cleaner than when you got there! - that’s probably the first and best advice I can give to beginners. I see so much rubbish left behind whenever I get to fishing locations. It’s really disappointing to see. Killing it with the great content brother! Ost oost!

Thanks for your ongoing support Hai.

Thanks for the video, was really helpful how can I join your team?

[@ronmb81]

How about do a run down on nicknames for fish we fish in Australia. When I first started out hearing names like rat kingies, bonnies, sambos, etc. kinda confused me but then after some research, i found out they were under sized king fish, Bonito, Australian Salmon etc

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

I go through this in detail at the end of this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnjZgZamiKqhjLc

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

Some fish are called different names in different states. It gets confusing. For example in NSW we call Australian salmon as sambos, but in WA this is the name for samson fish.

Great video Hadi. Fantastic insight for all beginners. Question. Is the Club Team Kingies taking new members? But then again the joining fee could be in the tens of thousands 😂

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

If you're using bait, try using very light sinker or no sinker at all. If it's lure, try using surface lures.

Can I join your group guys ?

[@bojanvukovic8271]

All the *no no* you said happens to me so annoying and yes you have been to the spot

[@shaffiahmed3120]

If I find a good spot I will share because everyone spending money to catch a fish ,you not going ran out of fish if you follow catch and release rules

[@Fishamanic]

Theres no way im going fishing with mates. Always fighting over fishing locations..... better off alone lol

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

We operate differently, sharing locations and fishing with mates makes it more fun

[@Fishamanic]

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew Sharing locations with strangers is much better.

[@patricknee7087]

give a man or woman a fish they eat for a day teach them to fish they eat every day

[@shaffiahmed3120]

I disagree with not sharing locations by doing this you will promote this sport if you follow cache and release rule shouldn't be a problem because everyone wants to cache a fish and have a fun

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

I agree with you. We grew up being taught that if we share, we will get more in return. Unfortunately providing locations on social media will make many people upset, so we try to find a balance.

[@TeamKingiesFishingCrew]

If you do share locations, also try to make it clear of the dangers of that location.
