In Episode 21 Bugsy takes us down to a ledge fishing in Sydney NSW Australia for some land based lure fishing targeting bonito on a sunny afternoon. Bugsy shows us how to use a range of lures including bibbed minnows, jigs, and sinking stick baits. Techniques used include spinning lures and shore jigging. Sydney has a number of premier rock fishing locations. Fishing off the rocks is a dangerous activity and safety should always come first. If you are going rock fishing check the swell conditions, wear a lifejacket, wear rock cleats or spikes, wear light clothing that you could confidently swim in, and fish with a friend to keep an eye out for each other. Remember to do your part to look after our fish stocks too. If you are going to keep fish, look after them and only take what you will eat. Take your rubbish home with you or throw it in the bin. Respect and preserve our natural wonders. Thank you
