Good stuff Josh. My best from that rock platform was 37 Bonnies, 3 salmon and a lone tailor. One March morning a fair while ago. Can smell the salt and hear the excitement in your voice. Hope you catch a thousand more.

[@chrisdickie7638]

G'day Josh. Firstly love the vids mate. I've only just subscribed but I'm hooked (pardon the pun). Always liked fishing but was a firm bait user, but since watching your videos I've not only renewed my interest but decided to really have a go at lures and soft plastics. Not a lot of success yet but probably more user error than anything else. I'll keep trying. Great videos mate, keep up the good work and tight lines👍

[@joshdfishing]

Aw Chris mate that’s awesome to here. Glad my vids could give you that little boost to pick back up the rods and flick some lures around. Catching fish on lures to start is tough. But just keep flicking and the fish will come👌🏼

[@oolabinside]

Finally on the rocks!! Was a cool and chill'n vid, THX!! 🤗 "Big fish!! Oh not big but..you know!" It was sooo funy how you said! 😂🤗

[@joshdfishing]

Hahah I thought it was a bigggg one the way it hit. But I’ve never been hit by a bonito before so that’s probably why👌🏼

[@oolabinside]

@@joshdfishing once I hooked a Biiiig one and it took an hour to get it to the shore..it was a tiny octopus and it held tonns of rocks 😂🤣 After it I hooked a fish, it was so hard to get but in 5 minutes it was infront of me..it was an 142cm eel..I was shocked and from that time I know anything can happen! 🤗

[@bayleemetrofishingwa9434]

Great video man🤙

[@Mark-ew5jm]

What a way to bring back memories of the Sapphire Coast of NSW. On holidays many years ago when I was introduced to “spinning off the rocks” for bonito and salmon. It was on the headland at Tura Beach and was using a silver slice lure. The only tip given was to cast as far as I could , let it hit the bottom, then wind like the dickens….You certainly knew when they hooked up. Used a lot heavier line than you Josh so I could only imagine how much fun these would be on the lighter gear. Thanks for another wonderful video promoting some wonderful memories. Unfortunately the rocks are the last place I would fish these days due to physical issues. Keep up the good work Josh and I look forward to your next video.

[@joshdfishing]

I always enjoy reading your comments on all the videos mark. Appreciate you for always viewing🤙🏼

You must have done about 100 casts that session josh love the commitment and the rock fishin is awesome keep it up bro. 🎣😁

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah man heaps and heaps of casts🤣😅

[@phoenixross8013]

Awesome work josh

[@nadclay09]

Loved this vid josh I’d love to get on the cliffs and have a cast

[@evanmiris5765]

Good video Josh , one thing that I do is upgrade the split rings and get rid of the treble hooks. Replace them with owner or daichi single hooks and your catch rate will increase , its harder for them to throw the single hook and they cant use the opposite hook as leverage like they do with trebles . The other thing you can do is tie your line to a mustad ultrapoint fastach clip size 3 or 4 and you can change lures super fast during a hot bite, I also use the same setup spining the beaches. Hope this helps mate from an old salty ! 👍👍👍

[@joshdfishing]

Cheers Evan I’ll be sure to give it a go🙌🏼

Don’t shy away from jigging those spinner lures. I’ve caught plenty of frigate and bonnies bouncing the Samaki torpedoes off the bottom like a jig 🤙🏽

[@zackfootball1316]

Bro love your videos wish to fish with you one day

[@patrickcarlin3015]

Stopped half way to say.. Bonnies are the sickest fun and great eating if bled immediately and iced. On the hot smoker they are delicious with a texture not unlike chicken. Meaty more than fishy and a good sustainable catch hence the big bag limit. Some of the best fun ive had is sight casting to these little rockets with small 3 inch white minnow plastics or 5g metal blades. Kidney slapping mayhem. Great live bait for ballooning with heavy gear. Trade up for longfin tuna is good work if you can get it. Go hard chop!

[@deriserudder5098]

For better meat quality, don't forget to cut the guills to bleed out pelagics as soon as possible. Great video,I was looking myself for a demon blood,but can't find the 85...some big fish here in Timor Leste,enjoy the fishing, really like the passion you have,very genuine.

Hi Josh, just the old codger here to thank you for another stand up video son. Sorry to hear about your recent health issues but, trust me, you need to look after yourself first. Your viewers are patient souls, well still be here waiting for your next upload. By the way, the Mrs says sorry for the 12yr old girl thing. She reckons that if you'd got hairy legs or something she'd have copped on sooner😂 100K is on it's way lad😉

[@joshdfishing]

Hahahh old hairy legs🤣🤣 Cheers John, I’m looking after myself more these days and just uploading as often as possible. While still having fun and having days off for myself. Looking forward to getting healthier and starting to a travel more. So many places I wanna fish but I really can’t with the state of my health :(

Just the usual egg wash a bread crumbs. It’s a more dry fish but still tastes amazing. Super soft flesh before being cooked that goes a bit dry. A bit of Mayo makes it better

Hey Josh, love the vids surely your arms would be dead after using the jigs 😅 Have you got any vids on soft plastics Grubz for bream? I really want to get the hopping technique down. I have been a bit frustrated chasing Bream on plastics, so I switched to hard body lures absolutely love the atomic hardz crank bait 38mm in the muddy prawn, that's gotta be my go to hard body lure. Tight lines mate! 🎣🤙

[@joshdfishing]

Yeah my arms were feeling It the next day😅 and I have a bunch of bream videos up on the channel but non using grubs. I just don’t seem to get as much on grubs as I do say for crank bait and paddle tails🤷🏼‍♀️

[@Daniel-xc8nf]

@@joshdfishing Hey Josh, yeh I can only imagine when your jigging lures do you have to be in deep water? As for the bream yeh I'm in the same boat as you with the Grubz I've only hooked 6 bream on Zman Grubz, apparently though the yellow fin bream are more aggressive compared to the black fin bream that could also be why we aren't having as much luck using them. I've also noticed when you use the Grubz people say to have a bow in the line, but I've found it more helpful to have a right line that way you can feel the slightest bites. Tight lines mate! 🎣

[@mixologist-]

Great video as usual Josh. I noticed you've changed pliers from the bent nose to the longer straight model. Do you mind telling me which model pliers you have pls?

Glad you were able to tick off a couple more species from your bucket list Josh! I used to spend a lot of time chasing bonito and mac tuna as a youngster. They're awesome sport on light gear! Nice ledge you were on Josh, but too much company for my liking......the cherry on top was when old mate jumped in for a spearfishing session!! We used to catch the bonnies and mac tuna on small chrome slice lures. Best fun was sight casting to them........those were the days...... 😀
