SHORE JIGGING | SYDNEY | CHASING BIG MAC TUNA

A couple hours of daylight to fish an empty ledge in pretty sketchy conditions. My light - medium setup getting tested on some heavy macs. Bit of context, I jigged my little heart out for 6 hours day before and being new to the technique I was definitely feeling it. Swell was 2.1M with strong winds making it a battle. Not recommended! Always wear cleats & life jacket and keep in regular phone contact with someone.
Meskell’s Lessons Learnt: Don’t wear long pants when the swells are bigger as the pants create a lot of drag on the lower legs and makes it very easy to loose footings.

Haha yeh well it’s good that folks are reading that far into the details 😎 but yes I’m nowhere without a feed.

[@johnarrones5396]

Insane session, sketchy, but you killed it!👏👏👏

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Cheers John! yeah it wasn’t the most stylish way of landing them but got the job done 🤣

[@bugsyfishing]

Wild session! You did well to land those fish in challenging conditions! Well played

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Yeh pretty dicey man ! solo definitely gets me revved up bit of a sicko hey

[@travisrichards5951]

You're a weapon bruh I live it

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Thanks Bra! On the big screen or what ?? The GoPro doesn't capture the wave situation very well as it was a-lot spicier then it looks.

[@travisrichards5951]

@@meskell.as.anything6669 yeah on the big screen of course and I don't know man it looks pretty spicey

[@jb-es5zj]

ive got an old wetsuit {steamer} that i cut in half and just wear the bottom half for days like this , keep a bit warmer and no drag that you would get from long pants like you said

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

I’ve never fished in long pants not sure why I was doing that but it’ll be the last time. I’ve fished before in a full wetsuit when it was freezing and the swell was big but has to be pretty cold other wise you sweat 😓 Yeah the wettie pants is a good Idea 👍

[@bonggakadong4319]

Nice gear set up but loved the snack! Haha

[@HaiFishing]

Mate, solo at that spot with huge swell/waves, you’ve got massive balls hahaha! Subbed, see yah on the ledge mate, hopefully in safer conditions haha

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Cheers legend! I’ve moved up the coast so you won’t see me unless I do a trip down… you’ll probably bump into Bugsy who fishes there a lot if you get there. Have fun mate be safe and check conditions anything over 1.6m swell is sketchy. Low tide obviously Safest option

nice shore jigging

[@jzfishing103]

Should I get spartan 2-4 Pe or PE 4-6?I want to use it for mainly big tuna and kings off the rocks.

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Hey Josh the PE 2-4 is good for fish up to 6kgs, PE 4/6 good for up to 10-12kg fish. So really comes down to what exactly your targeting and wether you want to have power over the fish or like a challenge by going lighter. Also conditions and the particular ledge your fishing play a part also. Spartan are a great choice. I’ve got the PE 5/8 which I use for big kings, it’s a shorter rod but gives better control then longer rods.

Using a live for fishing. Bro. That wave’s extremely powerful and dangerous.

[@reimonflores6974]

What handle and knob you got on the gosa?

[@meskell.as.anything6669]

Gomexus - google them. Game changer from that silly egg style knob.. mines 41 or 42mm size
