[@algee3902]

I thought they banned fishing there

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Can only fish a part of it mage not the whole area!

Sorry mate just saw this at the finger wharf Sydney harbour.

[@geksii]

Nice one mate.. love the pier videos

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Thanks mate, glad you enjoy them! :)

[@joshzfishing]

How do you rigged your bait/yakka?I just can’t hook the fish when I hook up.Also, what size hook you are using and are they j or circles, thanks

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey man, just on its shoulder with a size 3/0-5/0 hook depending on the size of the bait. These are J.. however just let your fish eat them before you strike :)

[@GoldenHourFishing]

Hey Mick, long time Sydney fisho but have never targeted kingies. What rod do you recommend for this kind of fishing? I noticed there is a big distance between the water and the pier so Im looking for a good casting rod with decent casting for metals, seems like you a telescopic net is a must at that location? Edit: i noticed most guys bait fish here

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey mate, my apologies. KZbin put this in the "held for review" thinking it was spam. Really depends on the location but for Sydney Wharf/Piers need something 9"6-10" so you can pump up the fish and get them on surface before they get to the pylons underneath. Something PE5-6 (50-60lb) will be able to deadlift the fish up onto the wharf anything under the 95cm mark, anything bigger can use a Pier Landing net from Hookem, or we sometimes walk them to the steps and get a buddy to go down and grab the fish. Hope that helps.

[@connormoore6804]

hi mate just a quick question how do you keep your prawns alive if i have bought them this afternoon for tomorrow morning thanks

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hi mate, I have a wall aerator and a fish tank at home. So when I get them I just transfer them from my bucket and into the tank. I've had them up to 4 days in there with no issues. Hope that helps!

[@intensehotdog]

Put a bottle of water into the freezer and let it compeltely freeze, then put it in ur bucket with the live prawns and an aerator. The prawns will go to sleep and live for ages.

[@OdySea_YT]

Hey marki, I just found this video, its so good! I have a few questions caus im going there next week if you dont mind answering them! first, have you ever tried livebaiting with yakka there? also have you tried going there on an afternoon? I heard there were squid tere, have you caught any? and last question which pier was that? Sorry if i put too much questions but im dieing to get there next week with my mates and im tryna catch my first king, so this video has been soo helpful!

[@robertk_471]

What size hooks were u using with the prawns?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey mate, was running 3/0 Octopus hooks :)

[@joshzfishing]

Hey bro what rig are you using?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey man, generally just unweighted here unless there is 10000 people aha!

[@LilPetoz]

Good stuff, hard to fish around those piers hard to pull fish from under

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Too right mate, thanks for the support & wwatchin!

[@zhoujoe9960]

I broke my rod tip recently and want to upgrade my rod as well. I am looking for a ultra light rod under $300. Is lox Yoshi a good choice? Do you have any other suggestions？Appreciate your help.

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Mate you really can't go wrong with the yoshi's for that under $300 price range. Quality components, japanese blank etc :) very nice.

[@johanzo88]

Been so keen to start learning how to fish, any tips for starters on how to learn?

Alway's hard starting out, but once you get the ball rolling the pieces fall into place. Yes mate feel free to hit me up! I provide Skype consultations. - facebook.com/fishinwithmarkimark/services

Where do you get your live prawns from?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

When I have time I catch them, if not from macs bait bar! :)

[@paulmclean9192]

@@FishingwithMarkiMark where is a good spot to catch them?

[@workoutmasterkid]

Hey bro what rod and reel or combo would you recommend for kingies and salmon?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey man, to be honest.. to very different species of fish to fight. You can easily slay some salmon on your bream gear! For Kings you can tackle them on bream gear in certain areas. It's very situational also - I can catch kings off my beach on bream gear, but my luck would decrease off the wharfs of sydney etc. give me some more info my bro and happy to help you out :)

[@workoutmasterkid]

@@FishingwithMarkiMark yeah i could fight a kingie on my 2500 reel but im getting a 5000 for kingfish and many other bugger fish because i needed a heavy setup anyway but thank for the info

[@robertk_471]

Hey mate where in Sydney would sell live prawns maybe around Bankstown or parramatta area?

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Hey mate not sure out that way? Maybe extreme fishing. A lot of bait shops started to stock them since the blow up of my earlier videos. They are a gun bait for all species, not just kings!

[@stephencyster]

On Duty in Merrylands sometimes have them

[@Fuaarrkk]

All you need to do is jump on google, bait shops near me, then call all of em and find which one sells live prawns. Simple.

[@tntbossthrone1062]

I have 7'9 PE 3-5 rod with a 14k reel you think that will work

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

Sure will mate, that's perfect. Always recommend a 8"-10" rod off the piers, much easier to pump/wind the fish and keep him away from the pylons. The shorter rods, bring them right to the pylons :(

[@slothparade4184]

I’ve fished Those piers since you were in your nappies and believe me the best fish are right under your feet. Edited, even before you were in your nappies

[@FishingwithMarkiMark]

I hear you mate, I definitely agree with you that majority of the fish are holding right at the pylons. You do see some bonitos/kings fly in from time to time.

What a fish. Good on yah. Keep it up yeeeew
