Starting summer on the ledge in Sydney - Bugsy Fishing - Ep 37 4K

It is the start of summer and in Episode 37 Bugsy takes us down to a local ledge in Sydney to throw lures for the Yellowtail Kingfish ( seriola lalandi) as it is known in Australia, Hiramasa in Japan and Yellowtail in the USA and the humble bonito. Rock fishing is dangerous and requires a high level of experience and knowledge of the ocean. Stay safe on the ledge. Always wear a lifejacket, suitable apparel and shoes. Fish with friends and look out for each other. Only fish when conditions are safest. Enjoy the vid!

Thank you Max

[@jakespey]

Happy New Year mate. Nice to finally get time for a fish! Good stuff, hope the new place is great and comes with a dedicated fishing dungeon/garage...

[@bugsyfishing]

It was great to be back out there. Thanks mate. All the best for 2024!

Is that Justin Compton at 8:50? He used to be my English teacher at school! Funny seeing him here, didn’t realise he was a ledge lord😂

[@bugsyfishing]

Classic. He even makes his own lures! And they work well too

[@marcus.mcdonald]

Does he sell them? Wouldn't mind buying some@@bugsyfishing

[@bugsyfishing]

@@marcus.mcdonald nah, he just makes them for himself at the moment. They keep getting better and better though

[@rohikam4205]

hi Bugsy mate can you please give us some in-depth information of lures you used (grams length and where to purchase) in this episode as I am and many other are new to lure fishing.

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi mate, the first one is the Jigaro Super Slide 80 grams in green. Your local tackle shop should stock them. I like to support my local small businesses. The second is a DUO Roughtrail Blazin 110, I think it is 64g. Really hard to find. If you find one let me know. And the third one, my mate made it by hand. Very cool and he is getting better and better at it. Hope that helps

[@rohikam4205]

@@bugsyfishing Thanks for quick reply, And yes its very helpful information and I will let you know if I find (DUO Rough Blazin 110) lure. Cheers.

All over Sydney. Mainly on the ocean ledges

[@jackkim5372]

Where is this located?

[@bugsyfishing]

Hi Jack, it is an ocean ledge in Sydney. I always keep locations quiet to respect the crew who fish these ledges regularly

[@Dermtarbo]

Why do you call it a rat

[@bugsyfishing]

We call the small ones rats. It is a common nickname for the small kingfish
