Spinning for bonito at sunrise on a Sydney ledge - Bugsy Fishing Ep 39 4K

In Episode 39 Bugsy takes us down to a ledge in Sydney Australia for some land based lure fishing targeting bonito. It is sunrise in summer and the water is heating up bringing a range of pelagics to the ledge. Bugsy will be spinning the Duo Rough Trail Blazin 110 diving minnow for the duration of the session. Sydney has a number of premier rock fishing locations. Fishing off the rocks is a dangerous activity and safety should always come first. Check the swell conditions, wear a lifejacket, rock cleats or spikes, and fish with a friend to keep an eye out for each other. Remember to do your part to look after our fish stocks too. If you are going to keep fish, look after them and only take what you will eat.

Great session on the ledge, Bugsy!

Cheers Hai!

Great content and editing. Enjoying seeing ya having fun off the stones. Keep up the vids mate!

[@hustleandflow]

I saw in a couple of spin vids you're cranking the metals in. Try adding some dead stops in if ya chasing the Bonnie's. They hit twice as much when you add that pause!

[@bugsyfishing]

Thanks mate. I'll give that a go. Yeah, noticed a get some on the pause sometimes

What size rod do you recommended or like to use when rock fishing?

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi Tonez, the rod I use most is a 9'8" Oceans Legacy Specialist PE 2-4. I find it light enough and comfortable enough to use for hours and it can handle most fish I encounter off Sydney. Something around the 10ft length is versatile for spinning lures and shore jigging

[@MartinableM]

Can you recommend some cleats or other suitable shoes and where to get them? Will be in Sydney next month (first time in aus) and will try some rock fishing. Thanks!

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi mate, I recommend going with a guide like Alex Bellissimo if it is your first time fishing off the rocks in Sydney. It is very dangerous if you aren't familiar with the ocean here. Life threatening type dangerous. As for cleats, an old pair of shoes with the Snowline Chainsen Pro pull-ons do the job. Get in touch with Alex www.bellissimocharters.com.au

Subscribed! Where is the location?

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you. I prefer not to share the location and keep good relations with the people who fish these spots regularly

[@austindunn661]

Stuff me that fish looks juicy 😋, what the BBQ bonito recipe, if u don't mind me asking 😁

[@bugsyfishing]

Very juicy. Pretty simple recipe, just marinate it in teriyaki sauce for at least 15 mins. Then throw it on the barbecue. I cook it on both sides and try to leave the middle a little raw

[@user-tu7sq4if3f]

What is the exact location mate.?

[@bugsyfishing]

I prefer not to give that away to respect the people who fish there regularly

[@VietnameseFishingAnger]

details braid and leader please?

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi Jacky, PE3 braid with 40lb mono leader

[@xanderpainagan1561]

may I know the location pls

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi there, this is a Sydney ocean ledge but Sydney Harbour ledges have been holding fish too

[@abdoz571]

You mind sharing the spot exactly where it is please?

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi there, it is common etiquette in the fishing world not to share exact locations of spots. Mainly to respect the people who fish it regularly. Sydney Harbour ledges have been fishing well. I recommend trying those spots east of the Harbour Bridge. Tight lines

[@abdoz571]

This is not a etiquette. This is called selfishness. You dont want to share it because you don't want others to fish there. You want it for yourself and you called this etiquette. Thank you mate. Good fishing.

[@peterjamesnopia2292]

Brother bugsy what is the size of the swell on your video? Thanks brother I love your videos

[@bugsyfishing]

@@peterjamesnopia2292 cheers Peter. It was about 1m. Always bigger sets though so important to check the max wave height too. The Manly Hydraulics Lab website gives you access to the buoy readings. Apologies if you already knew this but will help if you don't

[@peterjamesnopia2292]

@bugsyfishing thank you brother because everytime I go the water is above on the ledge thank you. Hope someday I can go fish with u brother
