Bonito catch and cook - Tempura and sashimi - Sydney land based lure fishing - Bugsy Fishing Ep 29

In Episode 29 Bugsy takes us fishing as Sydney moves into winter. The pelagics are slowing down and becoming a lot more work to catch. This video shows shore jigging techniques and how to cook a tempura and sashimi dinner. Rock fishing is dangerous. Only fish when the conditions are safest and wear appropriate safety gear including rock spikes/cleats and a lifejacket. Enjoy!

Great catch and cook, Bugsy! Love that you utilised the entire fish avoiding wastage!

[@bugsyfishing]

Got to respect the fish brother! Thank you

[@oldpezza5318]

hey mate... to stop tempura and battered things from sticking... with tongs, lightly wave the piece through oil to "seal" it for a few seconds before letting it go. this will harden the outer layer and it wont stick

[@bugsyfishing]

Thanks legend. I'll try that next time. It's going to save me a lot of cleaning time haha

[@SeanTv8]

Great episode Bugsy! Well done one the catch and cook too. Defo gonna try that recipe mate! - SMITHY 😉 🤙🎣🐟

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you Smithy. Can't go wrong with tempura and sashimi!

[@ben9219]

Hey Bugsy, I love your videos and how your footage looks. If you haven't already, could you do a video on your gear and how you film yourself fishing. I'd love to see what you do and stuff like your gopro settings and where you mount the camera. Thanks and tight lines.

[@bugsyfishing]

Thanks Ben. That's a good idea. I will add it to my list

[@josh.bollen]

Love the format at the beginning mate!

[@bugsyfishing]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the feedback. I'm still trying to figure out how to best tell these fishing stories

[@joelvanpamelen6700]

Bro this is awesome good work

[@bugsyfishing]

Thank you Joel

[@247geoffers]

I was literally fishing just a hop skip and a throw from there today and came up with a 55cm Bonito on that exact same maria reprise 😂 Wasn't sure if there what the size limit was for bonitos so mine lived to see another day. Awesome recipes btw mate 💪

[@bugsyfishing]

No way! Seems like that is the size lately. Not many of them but good sized fish. Your one might reach the 1m mark!

[@jrbrandon7127]

회 잘 뜨네~ 굿 잡!

[@bugsyfishing]

Thanks mate

[@Davide608]

not gonna lie, after 6 weekends that I don't catch anything, this one made me a lil bit upset xD Just kidding, awesome video honestly ;) Keep it up legend!

[@bugsyfishing]

Ah man, 6 weekends! It is slow at the moment. Got to be lucky. Thank you Davide

[@indosydneyfishing]

Delish brother 🤙

[@bugsyfishing]

Very nice dinner

[@friendlyfire9788]

What rod and reel for bonitos you reckon bro ?

[@bugsyfishing]

My go to gear is a 6000 size reel with PE3 braid and a rod around the 10 foot mark rated the same as the line. This gives you some scope to land the odd bigger by-catch here and there. I like the Oceans Legacy Specialist rod in PE2-4. I think it is 9'8"

[@friendlyfire9788]

@@bugsyfishing okay mad ! Cheers 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@transistortion4327]

Whats the optimal technique to fish a bonito?

[@bugsyfishing]

I think an erratic jig is hard to beat

[@tzgzz9245]

it looks like you're cutting across the grain of that fish?

[@bugsyfishing]

Yes, across the grain
