SNAPPER Rough Sea | TIPS - Clean Your Fish

- Finding the right location to rock fish in a massive swell is a well thought out process. Everything is calculated. Tides, access in and out, are you able to fish the spot, are you able to land the fish where you are fishing, is it safe enough for you to fish there, is the swell much smaller at the spot that you are fishing compared to the east fronts and more you need to know. This is not recommended for anglers that do not have a clear understanding of swell direction, location to fish, about waves, impact zones, tide sizes and more. This was a calculated risk!
I lost a lot of rigs on this outing but it was still worth while.

Rods- Alvey Custom Beach King 65C 13.6 two piece 5-10kg- you can use up to 12 kg line class. (Rod use on trip-Discontinued) Live Fibre two piece 13 foot 10-15kg. Or Regal 7177 two piece 15 foot 7-15kg.
Reels- Alvey 65S Stealth. Or Surf Champion 65.
Line- J-Thread Mono 25 to 30lb.
Leader for your rig- J-Thread FC Fluorocarbon leader 40lb.
Swivel- Mustard rolling swivel with round eye 103lb. (personal choice for swivels)
Sinker clip and swivel- There is a range of them at your tackle shop
Soft bead between sinker clip and swivel. (impact bead)

Now those three snapper are what I call an ingredient - Yummmmmo !! I have seen you release a tonne of fish Alex, but it's genuinely refreshing to see a prominent fisho who is happy to take a few fish home on RUclips. Kudos mate.
I love a feed of fish but at the same time I don't mind releasing fish as well. I guess I am a combination of both. I get pretty excited getting out there myself as I don't have as many opportunities as some as I am guiding clients the majority of the time. Thanks for your message cheers
Nice lil bag of snapsnap Alex.glad you kept safe so you can keep making us jealous 😅
Haha I was not meant to make you jealous 😁👍And I will keep safe thanks mate
ahhhhh,,, finally an Alvey...
Hahah yeah finally an Alvey 😅
Good demonstration, Alex, of what a good understanding of swell directions constitutes that, and of course, years of well-honed experience under your belt and knowing your limits!~
Thanks mate
It is a very important aspect to rock fishing knowing where to fish, your swell direction, where to stand in the rocks, and of course tides and tide heights are super important 👌
yes always use a lighter leader in snaggy stuff. Note to turn your back when pulling off a snag, if its solid line and a biggish sinker and a bit close in, it can easily take your eye if you are facing the sinker and it all comes free
yes already well aware of those situations all too clearly 😅 cheers 👍
love scrolling through your videos and seeing how much knowledge you have with everything fishing related
Thanks mate
I have a relatively good understanding but there are some out there that are way better
@@AlexBellissimo definitely look upto all the older fishos like my pop, they know all the fundamentals of fishing
good tips ! Enjoyed watching your video Alex. More please
Thanks very much mate Appreciate you watching my vids cheers
alex, Thank you for the video and for featuring Alvey so you are amazing.
Featuring Alvey for me is something personal. Love my Alvey reels ❤️
Only just discovered your channel. Good quality content mate. Love your enthusiasm! Don't suppose you have any local knowledge regarding rock fishing locations between Port Macquarie and Cairnes? (A tad broad I know, but thought perhaps there might be a town or two in there where you've had some experience and some success.) I'm just one dude using a hatchback as a campervan and only have a small esky so I definitely won't be clearing out any honey holes! Lol
Hi Alex
Only know limited areas. crescent Head beach, Smoky Cape beach good for jewfish, tailor, dart bream flathead and whiting.
Hat Head and Hungry head good rock fishing black drummer, jewfish, tailor, dart and bream.
Cheers
@Alex Bellissimo thanks heaps mate. I'm staying on a mate's farm in Kempsey at the moment so Crescent Head is 20 minutes away.
Bloody legend!
We fished the Mattens once, very very experienced crew. May have been a comp but a friend arranged for a chopper to film us so we made the effort beside the forecast. We fished the Cave end well and things were ok but things got very very very nasty as the night proceeded. By the time we awoke the seas were monumental. We were used to huge seas but this... We were up in a cave packing up on dawn. The fire was out and we were well high, swear there was no chance of a wave although we were going to have to use every bloody wit we had to get to the ropes across the low stuff. Real wave counting stuff and very fast running. Anyhow a huge wave bumped up, and I mean huge, we saw it coming and prepared. Grabbed gear and pulled to back of the cave and up on a higher ledge. The wave came up, swirled into the cave, took the fire and went. Well, that was it for me. I dumped my fish, lightened the load and prayed. We made it to ropes but that always took a while and I can tell you, it was hairy. You think the waves will never reach the ropes but you find them all washed and un braided at times,,, The big seas can be immense. After one storm we came down and on the ledge must have been a rock AT LEAST 1 m cube, it was bigger but anyhow, It was lifted out of "somewhere" dumped on the platform and ended up 20 to 30 m inland , from the ledge, but it had been scraped across the ledge on its flat face countless times over a large area,, . Not only was it lifted and dumped way in,, it must have been dragged around for 30 mins.
Unless you were born to the sea and know it like your wife, never ever take them on, Even if you know them backwards its a huge gamble.
I had done over nighters on the rocks and it is risky especially when yoy sleep doen there
I just try my best to calculate it the best i can 😅👍
Good to know there are still some fish in Sydney :).
Don’t think gutting an apparently live fish is a good PR look.
Maybe a demonstration of fish brain spiking would of helped here.
Top video Alex!
Just wondering what bait you were using and if you’d recommend using burley for snapper?
Cheers mate keep it up!
I was using slimy Mackerel and squid 🦑
King of the stones Mr Alex Bellissimo thank you sir
Hey thanks Josh
There are better anglers out there. I just love fishing 😊👍
If you want to learn how to fish, follow this man.
Thanks heaps mate very much appreciated 👍☺️
Hey, Alex. Just wondered what you store that knife in? It's a great knife but it's shape doesn't lend itself to a standard sheath. Was thinking maybe a knife roll is the go. Your response is greatly appreciated, mate. Cheers, Frank
Hi Frank
Yes hard to find a sheath suitable for the gutting knife. I use a cheap one for my gutting knife although not really suitable
@@AlexBellissimo Hi Alex. Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated, mate.
Always good Alex !!!!
Might be our next session together
Hey mate looking forward to the next trip. Thanks for liking the videos mate 😊👍
Love ya work.
When I’ve fished in conditions like that, like you say, distance casting can make all the difference for snags, provided the spot is not exposed to the wind.
Interesting that you caught those on a relatively sunny day in the afternoon well before sunset. Do you follow the solar lunar activity?
I prefer to follow the right conditions, the right spot at the right time and most importantly the right techniques. But we all fail 😊
Hi Mr Bellissimo, I am getting enthusiastic to try rock fishing. I am saving up for a Hobie life jacket like yours. What shoes are you wearing in this video?
Alex where do you get a knife like that - really neat rounded tip - love your work
You can get a knife like that at Net Sales Sydney fish markets cheers 👍
The godfather of northern beaches
Hahah thanks mate
There are a lot better anglers than me buddy. I just do what I can. Much appreciated birdman187😀👍
Hey Alex, great video man, do you know anywhere I can get a knife like that? Also like the hook removal from the guts of the fish, nice work keeping the ecosystem safe 👌👌
Hey JimJim
Thanks for liking the video really appreciate you mentioning this.
You can get a knife at the Sydney fish markets. A shop there called Net Sales
Yeah I take note of fish that have swallowed a hook and I get it out before throwing the gold/guts it the water
Fish the corners of beaches and lee of the headlands, fish school up in most unexpected places and everything ends up there. Even floating baits close in in such conditions will pick up snapper. Places that dont yield a bite all year can go insane on big seas. Also just inside the heads on huge surf can stack the fish in thick. seen kingfish holed up in the paddle pool in N Bondi.... and sea lions as well...
Yes thats right
the correct formulas will make a spot activate 👌
great video always. Thanks for sharing Alex. What bait did you use?
Thanks very much Anthony
A variety of baits like tuna fillet squid strips are a good start.
Great video Alex!
Thanks very much mate cheers 😊👍
I am stuck in Ukraine atm, deep winter and a war, trying to get the wife into OZ, I miss it very much and these vids really warm my heart. Oz govt harder to deal with than the biggest seas...
good luck to you ☺️
Key is to fish as light as possible i use no weight even and release line as required let the current take it out the pickers carry the bait out further and the big ones steal it off them big snapper like mid water baits obviously depending on winds etc.
Apart from being an excellent and knowledgeable fisherman I like how this guy eats his fish and appreciates a good feed rather than this sometime fake catch and release.
Hey Nonneo Liberal
I still release a lot of fish but I love a feed as well. I stock up the freezer so there is enough for a few feeds. Thanks for liking the video super appreciated mate
Agreed! According to nearly all fishing shows, these dudes spend tens or hundreds of thousands on boats and gear just to put all of the fish back and never eat any. It's great that there has been a good few decades of fishing shows educating people about not depleting fish stocks, but we're there to have fun and hopefully catch dinner.
You can fish some spots in massive seas, the Point on Bondi murk and Tama are examples. Fished Tama once in a comp on huge seas, slept on the rock and well back in the night utterly certain I was safe as. I did not feel it but my sleeping bag got well soaked by a wave or solid spray as I slept. ....
That said, how many have perished there, many, and its a safe spot ..seen a few go in ..and get out, including myself. The decider is generally inexperience, or experience with overconfidence. In my case it was rotten sand shoes, cleats held, Dunlop volleys disintegrated. Was on the little greeny island to the North of the Murk ledge. Epic low tide calm seas spot for the very experienced.
so far fortunate to not have been washed in
thanks for yoyr story 👍
ahh experienced similar circumstances
Crazy effort dude so good 😊
The swell was bigger than what it looked like that's for sure but still fishable. Cheers mate
Great video. How does the j thread mono compare with the stiffer and harder maximas, schneiders and tortue lines at spinning out line twist and coping with abrasion. Its marketed as being very supple. Thanks!
Thanks for mentioning this. I am a Daiwa sponsored angler so endorsing J-Thread mono. The lines you mentioned are very good.
How does the Stealth Alvey go? looks marvellous
Yes it is quite good 👍 although not as smooth on the free spool as what I would like. It is about 25-30% lighter
So good legend what’s the best rig to use to get distance?
Thanks mate
Snapper sinker , sinker clip/swivel, soft bead, 65-75kg swivel, 50-80cm 40-50lb leader and 3/0 sueside pattern hook just one suggestion
Great video mate! Where do you get those gutting knives? I had a look on both BCF and Anaconda and didn't see any!
Mate if you go into the fishmarket (if your in sydney). there is a commercial tackle store but open to the public. Josh will sell those broad blade filleting knives! He supply's alot of the stuff the pro fish processors use at the market
@@qwerty100294 i was looking for an answer to same question, thanks bud, do you know if he has an online site?
Best eating size schnapper.
There great eating at that size. Firmer flesh 👌
What was you using for bait and burley?
Distance casting I usually don't burley but there are exceptions
The second fish was begging you do it quickly 😉☺️
Does anyone know the brand of the sling bag Alex uses ?
personally, I never scale bream or snapper, cook with scales on and peel off, easy if you are a fisho. The flesh is 100% jucier. I always cook whole as well, in foil.
yes you can do that but it depends what yoy wan to do with it
How far are you casting out?
That can vary from 50 m to 110m depends on the locations
What model Alvey is it please.
Hi Tim
The Stealth 65S 👌
very sudsy sloppy day. Floating cunge would go off.
