If you'd like to see Roger's great how-to video on setting up a float rig, go here: ruclips.net/video/-aqttT2UwHs/видео.htmlfeature=shared And if you want to watch Starlo's earlier field test of Fishbites on flathead, you'll find it here: ruclips.net/video/zjktgDET0-s/видео.htmlfeature=shared Also, for those asking about our footwear, we were using Icon brand rock spikes over our shoes that Roger purchased at the Compleat Angler Ulladulla.
G'day Steve and Roger, Every good fisherman and fisherwoman would survey their area first for safety and where to cast your line. Time spent doing this along with a berley trail and your setup means being more productive at the other end. I know Roger wears spikes on his footwear for grip when Rock fishing and lifejackets. As old men of the sea used to say never turn your back on the ocean.🎩🎣🤙✅️
Great session Starlo. Those Fishbites really work. Gave them a workout on some port stephens snapper last week and they worked a treat. White better than pink...
Glad for this video, I was just talking to a mate at work about catching and prepping for eating. Drummer is one of those elusive fish for me, one day I'll finally get one!
great fishing perfect safe conditions and show the methods and storage solutions lol. and brilliant eating and so many fish options for tacos like flatties and salmon trout too.
Drummer are awesome to catch and eat. They freeze extremely well too - we are still eating the 9 drummer I caught last trip ranging from 38.5 cm - 50.5 cm. In the tight narrow gutter, they fought so hard and all had to be lifted out as nowhere to wash them out at that spot.
Smashed em! Tell ya what, get a bunch of sea lettuce, give it a rinse in fresh water and add it to your fish taco, it's got a really unique flavour. Here in Scotland, all sea weed from the intertidal zone is edible, with the pick of the bunch being known as mermaids pubes! Because, well it looks like...🤣
Great video thanks Steve. I love my pig fishing - up in Sydney along that stretch where you filmed. Bread baits are my fav. I reckon if they lived where the pros could get at them they'd be a famous table fish.
Amazing video, great to see the different tactics used, and how to fish them, great safety tips, I'm learning heaps, great work guys, great video Starlo,
Heres why fishing is a good thing I find It’s not expensive fundamentally you can be out there with a rod and reel combo for 60 bucks and when you throw your line out the fish on the other end of the hook doesn’t know any different - the fish doesn’t care if you have the latest Shimano thousand dollar reel or not….. Its Very healthy to be outdoors especially with time spent on devices these days…. It crosses over nicely if you’re also into camping If you can afford a boat and into boating, it’s crosses into that Theres a technical side with learning different knots and hooks and lures and the rig set ups The gear itself last for a very long time And in the event you actually do catch something it crosses over into cooking because the odds are you’ll have to cook it to eat it …… There’s something there for everybody…….. And nobody charges you by the hour to stand at the side of the lake or on the beach while you’re fishing it’s essentially free………!!!!
You get them all year - you want a southerly wind and SE swell to stir the water up and dislodge food. The drummer will be there - some spots are last of the run out tide, others are last 3 hours of run in. I have a lot of success fishing shallow areas. November can produce good fish of 55cm + so not always winter. It's about good wash, fishing abating swells and gutters opening up to much larger kelp beds and areas of reef. Takes a few years to work out patterns but once you do, results are very consistent.
Roger and I try not to name specific locations to avoid upsetting local anglers, and it’s not really important anyway. These techniques work right along the coast.
Cheers! You can catch them all day on any tide but in most spots I prefer a rising tide and they often bite more freely early and late in the day or under some cloud cover.
Good fun mate. Off topic question for ya. Do Dusky flathead change from male to female when they reach maturity??? Iv been told that there sex is determined when they are still juveniles but the females are the faster growing and therefore the bigger of the two?? If you catch a flathead of decent size it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a female??
Yes, duskies don’t change sex like some fish. They are born either male or female. The females grow faster, live longer and reach a much larger size than males. Males over about 55cm are uncommon and virtually unknown over 60cm so any flatties bigger than that are females.

Glad you enjoyed it
Great session. Recently moved to Canberra im excited to try fishing for black fish is there any particular time of year thats better than others
The time to fish is now.
Don't forget the burley.
All year. Now is good!
Heres why fishing is a good thing I find

So true!
Hi guys great fishing session, beautiful location. What part of the south Coast are you fishing at?
Not far from Ulladulla.
Great video as always , just a quick question best time of year to chase drummer especially the far south coast area ta
You can catch them all year but winter is great.
You get them all year - you want a southerly wind and SE swell to stir the water up and dislodge food. The drummer will be there - some spots are last of the run out tide, others are last 3 hours of run in. I have a lot of success fishing shallow areas.

Is that Mollymook rocks?
Roger and I try not to name specific locations to avoid upsetting local anglers, and it’s not really important anyway. These techniques work right along the coast.
Nice vid, full of good info. what's the best time of day or tide for drummer?
Cheers! You can catch them all day on any tide but in most spots I prefer a rising tide and they often bite more freely early and late in the day or under some cloud cover.
Hi Steve. Can u show me how to fillet leather jackets. I've never had success in the past due to their very bony backbone. Cheers
Yes, they’re tricky!
Yes, they’re tricky!
When are you restocking Fishbites?
@@JP-qn4uo Tom is hopefully re-stocking late this week… by about Thursday I think.
Hi Steve, Are the Black fish your catching the same as the one living in WA?
The western black drummer is closely related but no one seems to fish for them?
That's why I asked, after watching your vid I looked up Black fish in WA, They were described as not a good eating fish
Did you eat the green veg or was it just a decoy?
Eventually! 🤣
Good video but would like to see something about the shoes you were wearing.
Do you mean those Icon rocks spikes that go over the shoes? Those are Roger’s, but I’ll be getting a set. Very good.
Hay there what rock boots have u got on
I’m wearing Adrenalin rubber booties with a pair of Roger’s Ikon rock spikes over them.
@@StarloGetsReel cheers
Good fun mate.

Tasmania?
Southern NSW.
Best keeping fish when frozen and has delicious flavor. Boneless fillet and skin. Fight like a pitbull.
You got that right!
Stevo how good me local
