Offshore Fishing “The Peak” Sydney: Using the home made CYCLOPS RIG!

Рет қаралды 8,172

Күн бұрын

Finally got to go fishing offshore Sydney so chose to head straight to “The Peak” which is 7 nautical miles north east of Botany Bay, NSW.
The Peak is a 60m bommie surrounded by 80-100m drop offs, well known for pelagic species including kingfish, snapper, flute fish, Teraglin and back in the day you could also encounter tuna and marlin.
It’s not too far for most boaters and even kayaks, and is certainly a place to explore for deep jigging or bottom bashing.
I used my home made cyclops rig: a fixed weight with a uv glow lumo armour coat coating, attached to the ELKAT striker flasher gang hooks.
This rig has never failed me and today is no exception.
Enjoy ♥

@ianbertenshaw4350 5 ай бұрын

What if you were fishing from a kayak on anchor and had unclipped it to chase a big fish - may have taken you a couple of hundred metres away and along comes some do gooder and takes off with your anchor thinking they are doing the right thing ? Best thing Mel could’ve done is to ignore all together- seems like a never ending stream of people trying to chip her for minor things on her channel these days - obviously not here for the fishing.

Man seriously ??? Go read the rules regarding PFD’s and understand it is each to their own regarding this . Secondly how was Mel to know if that was a lost anchor or if the owner took off to take a dump and was coming back - not her responsibility to clean up friggin Botany Bay.

@ianbertenshaw4350 5 ай бұрын

@@frankbotic9953 If you were a real Man you wouldn’t be picking on a woman- you’re the one picking the fight and no one is fighting Mel’s fights for her - I just like to annoy misogynist trolls like you - it gives my life meaning 🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW she didn’t break any laws in regards to the wearing of a PFD and it is not her job to clean up Botany Bay- I wouldn’t have gone near that pile of shit in the water for love nor money and if Mel didn’t show it in the video you wouldn’t have known about it in the first place . So why don’t you go launch your boat and go out to that anchor and pull it out of the water yourself if it is worrying you so much ? That is if you even have a boat or even fish .

@ianbertenshaw4350 5 ай бұрын

Then Stop picking on Mel for pedantic reasons. You’re complaining about something that was done weeks ago - Mel could have edited it out and you would never have know anything about the friggin anchor . Like I said no one is fighting for her , I doubt if anyone needs to coz I’m the only one who even looks at your comments and I only reply to them coz it entertains me 🤣🤣🤣 Gronk??? Is that the best you can do ? I’m disappointed Frank ! The only thing I can say is that Mel should think a little more about what she post in the video so people like yourself haven’t got a thing to complain about but the big losers there are the thousands of other subscribers that enjoy the videos for what they are - great fishing videos that are fun to watch .
