THE HARDEST PLACE TO CATCH FISH? SYDNEY HARBOUR KINGFISH -LANDBASED FISHING AUSTRALIA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Fishing Sydney Harbour land based off arguably the hardest spot in the area to land Kingfish. Fishing from such a height (roughly 3m depending on tide) makes it extremely hard to bring the fish up as they swim down and fight dirty trying to bust you off against hundreds of pylons directly below. In the video it shows us reefing the fish in a slinging motion as it is the only way to successfully land them. Being roughly 3m off the water its very hard to use a net to land these type of fish.
One of many more colabs to come with my main man Marki Mark. We caught a heap of Yellow Tail Kingfish and East Australian Salmon which made for a challenging day fighting these powerful fish.

Nice video. Pier 8 Walsh Bay. I did the structural works under the wharf in the 2000's it's a great place. There are some big bream there too.
tcb268 sounds really cool! How deep is the water under pier 8?
You guys make me want to go fishing bit hard being in Alice Springs but your enthusiasm is addictive...nice one 👍
Awww mate that’s what it’s all about. Time to save for a holiday to a fishing location then hey hahahah get it done bro 🙌
Wow your video drove me crazy!! Just drove 8 hours from Melbourne to catch my first landbased Sydney king? Any hints or helpful tips on easiest way to find these amazing fish!!! I have my 5 year old son with me ideally then and type of spot your fishing.
Sydney’s amazing
Thanks heaps mate. Thats awesome, are you still here? theres plenty around. Its not really easy to find them land based, you have to put in a lot of hours to find out where they are and then be there every day until you land one. Best bet if you're not sticking around long is go on a charter, they will accommodate for your son too and it'll guarantee you fish and a great time on the harbour. If get in contact with Stu from Fishabout charters he will look after you mate... good luck and tight lines
Most harbour wharfs are good bud, good luck to you
I'll be in Sydney this coming week and looking forward to chucking in a line. Being from the central Oz desert, it's a treat to get in some fishing.
Being from 2hrs north of shitney, that fishing was really easy! Always willing to take a desert cousin out for a fish n fart
As a resident fisherman of the piers for many yrs the best way to tame any king is to use an 8ft PE8 rod with 80lbs main line and 80lbs leader. With this setup and using the pump n wind technique you should land most kings in under 10secs. I've met both you guys before. Well done on the fish
Completely agree brother. I've got my heavy set up ready to go but try not to use it as I feel the King's are most of the time leader shy and 80lb definitely cuts down the hook up rate for me. But thanks for the tip! Come say hey next to you see us :)
Here in NZ we measure ours from the middle of the V not the tips and our minimum size is 75cm so if you guys think those are big fish then you aint seen nothin yet....Thats a little rat king and about the same size as our Kahawai (or salmon as you guys call them). Good bit of fun off the the side of the harbour. Well done.
Hahah yeah mate I know. Trust me I wish they grew bigger like the nz Kings. Just have to work with what we've got. I'm still appreciative of what we've got it's great fun. I'm planning a trip to NZ soon you'll have to show me how it's done 🤙😀
I hope you guys get to experience catching 100 cm and over out here at oriental bay, wellington. The biggest this year was 21 kg
@@rollyipsc I hope so too brother hahaha
wow cool the content is very entertaining greetings from PAPUA INDONESIA
Use to fish that spot over 10 years ago before it got too crowded.
That exact spot that you're fishing has surgeonfish directly below the pilons.
You think kings are hard to land? Try landing a surgeonfish.
They've got the smallest mouths so you'll need a small hook with atleast 30lbs flurocarbon.
I'd recommend a jigging rod to pull them out.
Tony G yeah I’ve hooked many surgeons but never been able to land em they pull so fucken hard hahaha one of my bucket list fish that I can never land hahahaha
@@spinkingsyd Goodluck, you'll definitely need it.
Fishing is to play and fight with the fish and not full force pulling the fish! If not, 100 pound line also will burst!
Hey, nice video and good catches. I fish the rock ledges around Sydney plus north and south of Sydney. Yellowtail fishing tackle in Burwood do a 5.5meter net handle that will help you heaps. BTW I'm not advertising for the shop it's just a little hidden gem of a tackle shop like there are many around
Awesome bro I'll definitely check it out. I think the hardest part is keeping these fish out from the pylons. As soon as they go down they play dirty and bust you off. It's hard to grab a net from such height. If you fish with a mate it would definitely help though lll check it out. Thanks bro
I have two questions, where’re in Sydney harbour and where did u get the live prawns
Had a king bust be off on 50lb and locked drag there last week.
🔥🔥 as always
yewwww you're a legend mate thank you so much!
Good stuff! I just got my first kingy a few days ago by accident on my 2-4kg rod lol was only 58cm but now im hooked and just bought a dedicated setup for kingies, bonito and trevally etc
Yeah bro they are insane fish to fish hey. I've got the kingie fever hahaha
@@spinkingsyd they look mad as well. All ive ever caught is the usual snapper, bream, whiting and flathead, 90% of them undersized too ffs. Now im going to start targeting kings and bonito i reckon
@@Vas1984 yeah mate for sure. All fish are fun in their own respect but Kings are just dirty hard fishers which is so addictive. Gotta get offshore at the point in the season for the big ones though
What’s your new setup? I have a 2-4kg rod on now with a abu pro max 40 reel
@@gavinhanna8072 My main combo i do 80% on is Daiwa TD Hyper 1.5 - 3kg with a Daiwa Exceler LT 2000. Medium combo is a 3-7kg Daiwa Aird with Exceler LT 2500 reel and im just about to buy a Daiwa Saltist X rod to target bigger species
Use the small kahawai (salmon u call it) as live bait. There should be some monster kings in there. Thats what we do here
Yeah bro I'm unsure if a kingie here would go a salmon hahaha. I've had bonito hooked up and Kings chase them but no hook ups 😢
Do you know exactly what pier where you on cause I think they blocked some piers
Fishing for fishy’s, Sydney 123 Pier 8
wow this is cool mate, continue 🤗
Nice video man! Im thinking of heading to Australia (probably queensland) for some land bassd fishing and was wondering if you are aware of any good places to catch fish?
Hey mate, thanks heaps! I've not been up north yet to chase anything fish but I'm planning on heading up there in June. If you head to any of the local tackle stores in the areas you visit I'm sure they will be happy to help you out 💪
@@spinkingsyd wonderful! thanks mate and happy fishing
In western Australia we call Sampson fish sambos
Hey mate just wondering where this was great vid btw
Good video brother, i was wondering whree did you get your floats from ?
nice big fish gys👍👍💪💪
Thanks brother 🙏
Good catch 👍But, with all those expensive gears, dont u guys can afford a good long net? Soon or later there will be a death fish after the fight 🤐
imagine a kingy pulls one of the rods in with the stellas
Hhahaha bro id cry while i was diving head first in after it, would break my heart. Always open bail hahah
@@spinkingsyd oh yeah open bail good idea
nice vid mate looks like a great spot to fish yet challenging, solid kingie
Thanks heaps legend! Definitely a challenge getting such a powerful fish out before it bricks you hahah good fun
Nice vid bro! Hope u get big
Thanks legend! One can only dream hey
Yeah bro I have been trying to get big stay on the grind ♥️
wow big fish bro , nice spot , nice strike , greetings from Indonesia .
Are you using unweighted livebaits?
casually got a couple of stellas ;) nice video i enjoyed it
Thanks legend!! I appreciate it. Hahah yeah love my Stellas
lovely! do you know where to get live shrimp?
Nice vid bro! Awesome kingys. Been watching your vids since your first few, do you mind doing a quick vid on your setup and bait rigs? Got a good sneeky spot on the harbour but always lose the kings or they just dont bitr
thanks legend, awesome to have dudes watching from the start. Its a question i get asked a lot, I may do one in the future bro, I just really try focus my videos on watching the experience rather then that side of things but its something id like to do soon
I'm heading there next weekend, any good advice on low or high tide? Or any is fine
Also, where do you get live prawns?
Just get there early, before first light hahah or you won't get a spot. And fish heavy with heavy drag. My mate gets the live prawns
hey mate just wondering what rod is that and how many kg is it?
Any key tips for a beginner? I've only just started getting more and more into fishing. I'm Sydney based aswell, would love to know of any good hotspots. Cheers man 🤙🏻
Theres a lot to learn. Pm me on instagram I'm more then happy to help. Some quick tips would be, learn to tie the right knots, catch live baits and fish weightless or with a small float. Fluro carbon leader is essential. Put in the hours and the fish will come
@@spinkingsyd would love to send a msg but I don't have any socials, too much drama online haha. I've been practicing all kinds of knots and learning the best type of setup for the style of fishing I'm doing. Guess I just gotta put in the hard yards and get to work. Still haven't given Sydney harbour a try, me and a workmate are heading out there this friday, hoping to catch a decent kingie or two. Is the harbour any good in the night?
@@Fuaarrkk Oh okay mate well happy to chat on here then. Thats perfect. Yeah youve just got to put in the hours mate and learn the areas you fish and what methods you need to put in to practice at different areas. First light is always best for kings as they hunt by sight so morning sessions for them are most productive. Its not impossible for them to be caught at night but you just decrease your changes by a lot hahah
big fan of your videos! what do you reckon my rig and bait should be for salmon and kingfish?
Weightless
Nice work lads! What do you reckon the fish was with the locked drag?
Thanks boss... It hurts my feelings to say but, judging by the head shakes I think it was a pretty big king... Sad face hahahah
@@spinkingsyd darn man well thats fishing ay keeps you coming back for more.
@@BarefootAngler thats right bro hahaha just fuels the fire really ahaha
Good job mate
Thanks brothers
Hey bro can you tell me where this is coz me and my dad are trying to find a good place to catch king fish
Pier 8
beautiful reel man
Great vid just wondering whether you bought the prawns or caught them yourself? And if you bought them where you bought them from
Thanks dude. My friend caught them when they were in season
Subbed for the intro music
Hahaha legend thanks mate I put a lot of effort into the music tbh
Oathhh brother that’s the way!!! Get into em!!
Yewww! hell yeah dude
If you think that’s hard, try. Place called Yeppoon in Qld.
Do you have any tips on when to strike when using live baits?Do I strike when my rod is bending or it is already screaming drag?I use J hooks on live yakka
Let them eat it, if you strike you’ll pull the bait out of their mouths. I usually try an free spool the line and pinch it with my fingers then let them take the line further out then give a nice hook set and fight
Hey mate, I was wondering where you get the live prawns from? Do u buy them or catch them yourself? Great vid BTW loved it
Hey dude yeah my mate catches them. Have been going to catch them with him recently. Hard to find bro. Thanks heaps legend
Those kingfsh were tiny, here in Auckland we use whole ocean salmon as bait.
Yeah mate I've watched heaps about it I wish they got bigger here. Looks amazing. You'll have to show me the ropes when I come over
Good stuff man. Exciting fishing.
Thanks legend!!! yewwww
Awesome videos mate! Im about to fish at Beulah st wharf, any bait suggestion? Im targeting kingfish and mullet
Thanks legend 🤙 yeah that's a good location mate just watch the winds today. Good baits would be live squid, live yakkas and squid strips for kingies and bread for mullet 👌 good luck dude
@@spinkingsyd shit that was fast! Thanks alot mate, keep the good work!
@@meong9861 Hahaha no worries dude! Tight line ❤️
Good work Guys!
Thanks brother
What rod and reel are you using mate?
Good vid as usual!
Thanks mate you're a legend!!!
I was running a 6000 Stella PG on a Daiwa Demon Blood 962mh
Hey mate great vid! Could I use a Daiwa demon blood 962mh on a Shimano Saragosa 6000 or 5000? Cheers!
@@5am99thanks legend! yeah mate absolutely. The demon blood is rated pe2 - 4 so would match perfectly with a 5k 👌
Nice Video Mate. i would fish from the other side of that Pier but it is closed since last year. Any idea if it is open or will reopen soon?.. nice breams in there.
Yeah I wish we could. Apparently its 3 years but I might be wrong. Think it's a game of Chinese whispers because someone else also said its only 1 hahaha I've no idea though
That sucks actually to c the pier close it was great location for fishing and relaxing though.What other spots u reckon are good in the Harbor? Darling Point?
@@amrsheiba5430 yeah it's only temporary though. There's plenty of good spots mate just have to wait til summer to get things heated up again. Anywhere around the bridge is good
I lobe your vids so much
Thank you so much legend it means a lot to me
Hey bro do you reckon a 150m spool of braid would be enough for this kind of fishing or would I be spooled cuz with 50lb braid I can lock up and pump the fish
Yeah 150m is fine bro! Kingfish will bust you off within a few meter you’ll never use 150m of line hahah
Unless you’re jigging offshore
Or should I go with a 8000 size reel and 300m of 40lb?
@@jzfishing103 14k
@@spinkingsyd what do you do with the left over braid after you spooled your reel?
great channel 👍 and nice videos
What bait are you using
Good vid Did you film going fishing for Mahi Mahi?
yeah mate definitely. It will hopefully be the next one up
How good is the Stella 5k, probably my favourite reel, absolutely love jigging kings with it except when they rail me and I wish I was using the 10k haha
Yeah I bloody love mine bro. It's a pity they aren't making these anymore. Hahaha I'm the exact same. Time to save I think 💪
Yeah bit of a shame the new ones are way overpriced! Love the 10k as well but can’t beat the action and how light a setup the 5 is on a pe2-3 mas jigger👌🏼
@@ReelSaltyAus Yeah man absolutely. I felt my mates 4k set up and I was shocked at how light it was. Mad little reels
Cool edits. Nice spot. Wish we had a place like that
Thanks dude! It's pretty crazy hey. 10 minute drive from home and it's amazing fishing
Man 10 mins, id be there every weekend lol. Do you guys eat the fish?
@@JayJBigIslandFishing Hahaha yeah mate we fish every weekend and sometimes during the week too for a cheeky flick. I don't man I'm catch and release but I sometimes give it away to friends or if people on the piers/wharf haven't caught anything I occasionally give it away. Catch and release most though
where do you buy your live prorns frome
the king
haha shit man I'm flattered!
Awesome stuff. Where do you get those live prawns ??
My mate catches them. But they are out of season now dude 😭
Sick video bro!!
cheers brother
Hi awesome video, where did you get the floats from?
Thanks brother 🤙
Isofishinglifestyle stock a heap of different styles and sizes mate. Can either go in store and speak to Gabriel or shop online. Great guys running it there 🔥
Does anyone know where I can get some live prawns ?
Woy Woy creek or Caboolture river
Isn’t this part of water covered with Jellyfishes?
Ahhh sometimes man I don’t really know much about jelly fish and their movements tbh but we aren’t swimming so it’s fine hahahah
Did you use circle hooks?If so what brand and size?
J hooks mate. Mustard hoodlum hooks. And I use whatever size I need to match the bait size I’m using at the time
Nice king!!! Where do you get live prawns in Sydney from?
Thanks mate 🤙 my mate catches them dude
I was going to ask the exact same thing. I need a mate who can catch me live prawns then...
Dope vid bruv
Thanks legend 🤜🤛
Where do you get all ypur live prawns from
My mate catches them
Where do you get your live prawns from?
Where can u buy live pawns? I looked in a lot of tackle shops but none of them was selling live baits.
My mate catches them
Great video fellow! I'm going fishing on Bulah St. Neck, any top tips? I'm targeting kingfish and multiples
Thanks legend. Lock up and go hard. Use live baits and follow the birds
Question: Where do you buy live prawns?
my mate catches them dude
Where are about?
Great video lots of fun catching rats and salmon (Aus)
@@myunghong9004 what do you mean bro? Its in Sydney
I mean where did your friend caught those live prawns.
@@myunghong9004 if I knew I'd be catching them myself bro 😂
How heavy should I go for kingfish in the harbor mate?PE 2-4 or 4-6?
Pe 6 for sure bro!
@@spinkingsyd how do you think of the Daiwa saltist hyper heavy rock special with 50lb braid with a 6000 or 7000 Saltist reel?
@@jzfishing103 how long is it?
@@spinkingsyd 9ft 6
@@jzfishing103 majority of people use 10” rods land based bro but I prefer an 8 or 9 foot rod, I feel like I’ve got more control using a slightly shorter rod
How long is your rod
Nice! Where u get the live prawns??
My mate catches them but they aren't in season atm
Was this recent or the season is over for them? Thanks In advance.
A couple weeks back mate so pretty recent. Definitely still around bro. They'll be around for a while
I feel you mate! My pb kingi landbased is 16kg. Greetings from wellington
Hey buddy I’m gonna go there and try catch some my self but just wondering what we’re u guys catching them on and what do u recommend
Umi Huh the big bucket of prawns and the live prawn he put on his hook should give you a clue...
Live prawns, squid or yakkas will do the trick mate. Good luck 🤞
Small fish pull like a giant fish!
Where do you get your bait if you don’t mind me asking
My mate catches it bro
Far out they fight heaps for their size ay. 😲
Yeah man the harder you fight them the harder they fight back hahaha amazing fish
Nice Bro 👍👍
Hey bro, where can you get live prawns from here in Sydney ?
Gavin Hanna my mate used to catch them bro but we’re out of season now you have to wait til summer
hey is this pier 2 at darling harbour
Hey mate, I know it's a bloody long shit but screw it. I got no mates. No1 to fish with as much as I do love it. And would be friken awesome to have a fishing partner. And Yea I'm in Syd. Up to you bud. Cheers
Always happy to meet new people bro send me a pm on Instagram and we will make it happen
@spinkingsyd don’t know if you will respond to this message, but where to you buy the live shrimp from? Or how do you catch/get them? Thanks.
my mate catches them when in season mate, you could youtube how to catch them I have no idea hahah good luck dude
spinkingsyd cheers for the quick response, I’m just a kid, 15 years old trying to get into fishing, not having the best of luck though. Hahaha anyways thanks again mate
@@AdrianK04 keep at it mate, persistence is the key. Youll get some good fish soon
spinkingsyd don’t know if I using the right gear like the rig I use is a hook and a running sinker and a frozen prawn, tend to catch a bunch small fish or a decent bream but other than that, I’ll keep being persistent 🙂 if you have any tips, feel free to let me know....
@@AdrianK04 try using an unweighted pillie cube on a 1/0 circle hook. Use 15lb fluro carbon leader and connect your leader to you braid using a improved albright knot or a uni to uni knot
Do you know what pier where you on plz
Nice
