SNAPPER Distance Casting | Harsh Conditions

- On this outing the wind was really strong, swell was above moderate, things are against you but you can still manage to be successful. As a rock angler you can only do what you can with what weather and sea conditions you have on the day. Test your limits, be calculated for yourself, as an individual and don't put yourself in a bad predicament unless you really know what you are doing. At this spot there was a lot of reef/ rocks making it that much harder.

Ive watched all your videos and the way you get excited like a little kid when youre onto a fish even after 40 years of fishing is the best thing
Hahah I feel a bit weird about it when I see it on a video but I just cannot help it.
Just love it ❤️
Hey Alex I just wait for your videos. You are so exciting to watch. You are an absolute master at your craft. Now the lockdown is lifted in Melbourne just can wait to have a fish. Catch you next time in your next video.
Hey Vince
Thanks for mentioning very much appreciated. There are a lot of great anglers out there. I’m just fortunate to get it on video hahah but I just get really pumped when I’m on the rocks, exciting stuff👍
Great session again on the reds Alex,love your work!!!
Thanks heaps Michael just getting out there for a film shoot on those days I had to cancel a client trip
Love your videos, gets me ramped up to go fishing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thanks heaps mate appreciate you mentioning this cheers 👍
Great Fishing and very good quality video! Keep up the awesome work Team Bellissimo!
Hey Mate thanks heaps we’re going to be doing this in the future. Great catching up mate 😊👍
This is the one I have been waiting for! Stoked to finally see your distance casting approach. Thanks for sharing Mate
Cheers Luke hope you get on to some snapper. Appreciate you mentioning this
Another great video mate 👍🏽👍🏽Couldn’t get to sleep (probably to excited knowing I have a session lined up with you in 4hrs time Can’t wait 😋
Hey mate
Hope you get out there and smash some fish soon off the rocks. Appreciate your message👍
Love these videos Alex. I'm evolving into a more well-rounded rockhopper thanks to you and am starting to think outside the square more and fish conditions I wouldn't normally fish. This morning there was a big SSE swell rolling in and my normal drummer ledges were dangerous and unfishable. I drove around and found a foam covered swallow gutter protected by a large section of reef running out to sea in an easterly direction which took the brunt of the big swell. Fished light - 15 lb and berleyed just a little (soaked chicken pellets - they work and allow you to make ground bait bombs). Between 8.30 am and 9.30 am I managed 3 drummer, 1 tarwhine and a 54.5 cm brown groper. Great fun and even better eating!
That’s great work there Frank and a great effort on landing the brown groper on 15lb👌. Nice bag of fish too. Your being more of a thinking angler and going for the plan B or C spots when you cannot get to your regular location Well done
@@AlexBellissimo Thanks, Alex. It means a lot to me coming from someone as experienced as yourself.
Hey Bellissimo great video,nice snapper keep it up 👍
Hey Ahmed thanks very much mate. I will do my best to keep them rolling in. 👍
Thanks heaps Adam I will do my best to keep the vids rolling. Cheers
You're awesome Alex. Bloody awesome. 👍
Thanks mate and your awesome too
Appreciate you watching the vids mate 😎👍
Alex, along the Indonesian Ocean south of the Java Island we have the same fish species like yours: whiting, dart, trevally etc what is a bit harder to get is salmon and snapper because there are not many structures. As for the whiting, I am amazed by how gigantic they get in your place.
Also, I don't see pompanos in your place. Do they occur there?
The Australian snapper can get pretty big. But in New Zealand they get even bigger
Another awesome fishing video!
N.B.: Buy "dead cat fur" for your microphone - it works like a charm against wind.
Thanks for your advice. The wind can be very strong when filming. And we were using a dead cat on the shoot.
Appreciate your advice
You are definitely a Gun Alex. Great work mate
Thanks very much Richard Just enjoying it as much as possible. It’s going to be hard in the future. Too many client guiding trips. No time to film. 😑
@@AlexBellissimo Can imagine Alex. Take care mate
Great vid mate. A lot of skill and an ounce or two of luck is always needed when landing fish is those circumstances and conditions (last snapper), and when it falls your way 😀👍🏻
Thanks Mark yes some luck there for sure. Had to be tactical for that last fish. Wen I’m that position a lot of times over the years.
And Alex just checking daiwa send you that reel super sick long caster looks so good daiwa for life bro yeewww💯🤙🏽
Yes mate great long cast reel and fairly cheap. Just enjoying the gear they send me. Sponsorship doesn’t last forever but just appreciating it.
@@AlexBellissimo lucky man Alex
Fab! Great video Alex.
Thanks mate cheers 👍
Alex you can get a collar-clip bluetooth mic for $50, could be cool, great clip .. those dog sharks, are they same as blind sharks?
Thanks but a lot of distortion with e wind unfortunately. And yes the dog sharks are a blind shark.
casting out far for snapper is always fun to do
Sure is mate a lot of fun distance casting 👍
Great video, very informative. How do you know how far the reef extends in different places or is it usually always around 90m? Also what’s the biggest Snapper you have caught off the rocks?!
On the clearer days stand up high if you can and you will see the reef and sand edge. It can vary from 20 to 100 m out.
My largest snapper off the rocks is 18 3/4lb about 8.5kg but a very long time ago off the rocks 🥹
my tip for snapper fishing off the rocks get some filler rod foam from bunnings etc thread about 2/3 cm on your hook and feed it up the line when your rig sinks it keeps the bait etc off the bottom ive only used it for squid legs and have caught plenty this way and get some smell into it like a sent and i reckon it would still atttract fish to bite if hungry use on a paternota rig
I use some foam to keep the bait suspended off the bottom from time to time. It is the sinker that gets snagged not so much the hook. Terrains vary
Hello. Alex I became a fan of you. How are you catching those snappers so easily... so envy you! What baits are you using?
Hey Daniel
Appreciate you becoming a fan👍
Haha not so easy a lot of the times. They can be elusive.
Baits I use are three quarter or half pilchards, squid strips or buff peeled prawns.
@@AlexBellissimo Thanks very much. I'll try with those baits. Cheers!
Nice vid. I was wondering if you wear any special rock hopper footwear
Thanks for liking the vid cheers
Yes I wear steel spike shoes. Take into account I am fishing sandstone ledges and they work best on them.
Loving your videos.
Can you do a comparison with spinning rig versus an Alvey combo?
I will be doing a distance casting with an Alvey in the future. Thanks for watching the vids 👍
Nice.....!! Where is this location???!
Sorry locations are when you come out on a fishing/guiding trip. I show my clients.
Good reds again off the rocks they like it a bit rough and overcast.
Thanks mate Yes there pretty good reddies. Ordinary conditions can produce more reds
Hi Alex I’m just getting into fishing off the rocks , went out on the weekend with 4 meter swell and could not keep the line in the water . I tried sinkers from size 4 to un weighted with snags every time . Would 3 ounce sinker work in this case or with that size swell stay at home. Thanks for any advice , love watching your videos mate .
Hi Daniel
Please don't go out in a 4 metre swell as a beginner rock angler.
A 3 to 5oz sinker for distance casting for snapper. And thanks heaps for watching my vids much appreciated.
Be safe mate cheers
Great video mate, but watching you fish with a spin outfit and not a alvey, is like going to church and lucifer is doing the sermon, it just doesn’t seem right lol
Hahah thanks for your message Being a guide and a sponsored angler I fish with spin and Alvey I love my Alveys and will be uploading one in the future
As an ISO fisherman, I seriously hate this kinda spot... long ledge before the water, makes it really hard to fight the fish that tends to reefs right under the ledge... (e.g drummer, gropers...) :O
Yes it can be hard at some of the spots. But ion some occasions subject to sea conditions I have to deal with what I have.
Thanks for watching cheers
I use a "better" technique + more strength to cast far, and I do not think that I reach 80m, maybe 50 or 60. could be my rod the reason?
I use braid, properly matching the sinker with the rod, atc. My rod is a $100 reel/rod combo from Anaconda. Please advise !! :) Amazin video as always
if youve got the coin look at his decription and get the same i like the look of the rod
Please check out the description of the video for gear specifications. You can work around that.
Hi legend so true it dose only take 1 good fish to make a session sick vlog Alex we both froth our reddy fishing yeeewwww 2nd best fish off the stones only to a king haha pumped as going for a late arvo spin big big Taylor off my local legend Al
Hahah awesome kings make me really froth😳 and good reds super! Hope you done well and smashed a few green backs. Thanks for following mate much appreciated 👍
Although they will rust and fall off. As a fisherman why don't you carry pliers that your able to cut the actual hook and will make it easier to fall off?
That’s right I do have pliers to get hooks out of fish but if it is too deep, near vital organs like a gill better to leave it in there give them a chance cheers mate
Noting Wong with kipping ur cach to eat mate good on U 👍
Yes that's right. I do a combination not both. Sometimes I keep a feed and sometimes I release fish.
Finally tuned fishing machine u r al
Hahah cheers mate love rock fishing!
I think we’re in for a great season.
Alex hi Paul here live up Fingal bay looking buy new snapper rods for up here question is wandering what rod u use for distance casting I use 5 ounce or a rod u would recommend be big help I use glass rods would be able recommend a blank use with alvery
Hi Paul
If you can find one the 7177 two piece snider glass blank if there available. Otherwise Alvey does not have a 14-15 foot rod suitable for distance casting with 5oz sinker weights.
@@AlexBellissimo can use bts synder glass 7177
Measurement of fish is from the tip of the nose to the inside point of the V on their tail
NSW fisheries measurements is to the very tip of the tail not to the Inside of the V
That's how fish are legally measured
@@AlexBellissimothanks for clearing that up, keep up the great videos Al
Been fishing everyday northern beaches rocks and all I’m catching is sharks and stingrays and eels
James you should do a charter with Alex on the Northern Beaches, he is a well know legend in our area mate, the fish whisperer 🎣🐟
I might have to when I find the time I’ll be contacting him for sure
you need a good rod and reel to cast right out into that deep water behind the breakers and be there before sun up. A bit of rough swell and a overcast days and a run up tide are prime time and fresh squid not fish shop crap or pillies they work to but dont stay on the hook when its rough very well.To catch good fish any where you have to put the hours in and hard work in they dont come easy very often good luck hope this helps.
Stand up on a higher ledge and look out to sea. You will see the darker patches which is reef. Then look further out you may see the lighter patches and that is sand. You will get less snags, less eels, sharks and more snapper, trevally and more. 👍
Hi Alex we all know you like young fish just like young ....🤣🤣🤣
😑. Hahah 😄👍
Alex, along the Indonesian Ocean south of the Java Island we have the same fish species like yours: whiting, dart, trevally etc what is a bit harder to get is salmon and snapper because there are not many structures. As for the whiting, I am amazed by how gigantic they get in your place.
Hi Sugianto
The salmon and snapper are too far north for Indonesia. There more of a southern hemisphere of Australia species. The fish you get in Indonesia are incredibly!
