It was a pretty hard day fishing but well worth the trip! Man those kings hanging around the bit of floating veg... I'm kind of glad we didn't manage to hook one while perched on that precipitous little ridge! Always just out of reach... 🤙
I just put the link in the description, the good thing with the net is the pole is of great quality, and you can swap out the net (which is OK but a bit small) for a Gaff or a better net when the time comes
I have, stayed at the campground there. I would just say the rocks get a bit dodgy over 1.5 with a sse to easterly swell. 30-50g metals for cast distance are the go in my experience that way
@Jayeffhi yes.. lots of people surf the break but you can walk along from there however j didn'ttry for very long. There is a rock ledge right out the front of the camp ground with only a short walk
Hi Mr Ballz, Have you had any issues with the assist hooks on the 15g micro jigs? I saw a video where you could pull off the hooks by hand. I dont know if they were the same ones in your link.
I've never had an issue, but I imagine quality control could be an issue with cheaper jigs. I've heard bad things but never seen them myself. The other thing with heavier jigs, they can come with hooks more for demersal fishing and are way thinner than what would get used for trophy kings
@@cballzoutdoors thanks. I forgot to ask, is the telescopic net still going, ok. I like the idea of setting it to various lengths. If one was handy, you could make a gaff hook for it. Would you still recommend one?
@DexterPalagiano yes the net is still going strong. There is a bit of a method too it to lift big fish, and you can upgrade the net with something bigger or a gaff if you are so inclined. My only issue is I always forget it!
Even if you don't catch anything at least you've had an adventure! This is the closest thing I found. I think it's a good starter net vs some of the ones from flagship brands that cost like $300 s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_mtdiY2o
Agreed that's half the fun of fishing remote spots, I've been to that spot once myself but the swell was up so it was a different experience 😅 cheers for that ill order one in to get my started 👍
Hi Cballz question. regarding your 15 gram jigs. Do you fish them with swivel clips around Split rings? or do you tie the leader to the eye of the jig or split ring directly? just concerned split rings may cut through leader if i tie directly onto split
That is a valid concern about a risk you WILL realize if you tie onto the jig directly. the jig will wear through the leader in no time. For the light jigs I use a little egg clip thing off aliexpress and they seem adequate. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DnFVu1B for heavier jigs, say over 30g, they seem to open clips up and I use a swivel to the main line and a split ring from swivel to the jig.
It's a shame that 300 Centrepoint sized wind turbines parked off the coastline are going to destroy tourism in the Illawarra forever. Thousands of local jobs are going to be lost. Vote Albo and Chris Bowen out before it's too late. Hydro, pump storage and nuclear are vastly superior zero emission power options. Save the Illawarra. Also fishing is awesome 👍
Your mate using a major craft crostage rod is an awsome 👌 👍 rod one of my favourite value for money
it has unfortunately met its end! SNAPPED ON THE CAST A FEW WEEKS AGO :(
@@cballzoutdoors wtf how 🤔
@@enterthedragon5979 think just a lot of use. casting a 60g slug, over and over and it broke just under the join RIP
@@cballzoutdoors next new rod a Zanaq
@@enterthedragon5979 haha I wish! but I feel like I barely hit the rocks enough to justify my demon blood that was only $400!
Nice!, landed a few nice kings and some massive snapper there over the years
I saw some seasoned hands struggling to carry a massive snapper there in the past outings... making me dream of similar success one day

It was cool to have the drone or you miss out on seeing what we thought was a seal or something thrashing around!
Good video, that might be your new favourite spot. Few fish is always a good day.
its an awesome spot, just the drive :( 2hrs each way
hi mate nice video - where do u usually park there? thinking of giving the spot a go
Near Maloney's Bay. Then it's a hike and climb across the rocks
Hey mate what landing net is that? I am looking for a telescopic but easy enough to be used from kayak
I just put the link in the description, the good thing with the net is the pole is of great quality, and you can swap out the net (which is OK but a bit small) for a Gaff or a better net when the time comes
nice bro! im going to killalea (the farm) next month for camping and gonna take my gear. you fished there?
I have, stayed at the campground there. I would just say the rocks get a bit dodgy over 1.5 with a sse to easterly swell. 30-50g metals for cast distance are the go in my experience that way
@@cballzoutdoors ok thanks legend. Did you have any luck? Did you try the besch at all?
@Jayeffhi yes.. lots of people surf the break but you can walk along from there however j didn'ttry for very long. There is a rock ledge right out the front of the camp ground with only a short walk
@@cballzoutdoors yeah I've seen that it looks fairly shallow but it's all sand it isn't very snaggy is it?

Nice fish mate, some spots are deffiently worth the hike.
What was that long landing net you had? Gotta get one myself

Looks like southern side of kiama

Beautiful spot mate 👍
Thanks Mark, I need to try and resist the temptation to become a scenery channel
3:29 what’s called?
Silver trevally, or skip jack is the name
Nice session ❤mate!
Is it kiama?
Shellharbour
@@cballzoutdoors you meant Bushrangers Bay isnt?
@jackybui5628 yes
@@cballzoutdoors thanks i went there but never try there. Is it good in the morning
@jackybui5628 it can be quite busy in the easy areas so going for a walk can make it much more enjoyable
