Just watching your videos provides so much instruction….especially when to set the hook. Watching your patience when the first tell tale sign of a grouper take then waiting until the rod loads up proper certainly gave me and I am sure many with much valued information. I am only new to your channel but I know I will not be straying away in a hurry. Thanks for sharing.

Great video as always, Alex! I learn a lot from you, watching your videos over and over, reading the water you fish, watching where you cast etc. You have definitely made me a better more mobile rock hopper. Many thanks, Alex!

That's great Frank appreciate you mentioning cheers mate

Top shelf angling Alex. As always.

In NZ we'd call these wrasse, groper over here are a very different animal. I have seen lots of these snorkeling in NSW when I'm in Oz, cool fish 🐟 👍

Entertaining as always and inspiring to get out there.

Alex another great video what a great day you had!! I can't wait to go fishing with you again kind regards Costa

Nice to see the Live Fibre and Alvey still doing the job Alex 👌 I bet that combo has caught you many fish and has survived plenty of knocks and dunks in the salt over the years. Great catch mate 👍. Another great vid. 🍻

Great stuff Alex, you’re an inspiration mate and by the way. The addition of the lapel mic has made a huge difference in the sound quality of your videos. Thanks for another fantastic video.

Nice fish/feed Alex,love your videos mate!!!

Groper have made a successful comeback. You can see lots of reds when snorkelling. 40 years ago you would see none. I enjoy a fish dinner.

Great vid mate enjoyed that 1 👍😀

I think I have binged watched the lot! Get motivated for Summer.

Ohhh Ohhhh wooooah..... I love it when he does that!

Cracking vid Alex, and a few very nice fish. You first location was a good example of how inexperienced rock Fisho’s can come undone. To the untrained eye it looked in the most benign and flat (lull) but like when were back-peddling prior to hooking up the first fish, the swell/surge appears from nowhere. Inexperienced blokes could/do get caught out like that with at times ending in tragic circumstances. Seen that you were on the crab 🦀bait, what were you berlying up with. Keep the vids coming mate - great viewing

Blue groper are my favorite cold water fish and the Alvey is definitely the way to go when fishing for them. Usually the further the walk in the better the groper fishing.

Hi Jeoff Yep one of my favourites as well. That can be the case with a lot of spots especially in Sydney. You may need to walk a long distance to get a positive result.

@@AlexBellissimo Most of my rock fishing was on the South Coast in the Jervis Bay area. The fishing there is still good and groper are still common but I don't trust my old legs climbing down those cliffs like I used to.

You are the best fishman

Another great video Alex, did you use a 5/0 hook? Thanks

How do you get the crab bait? seem really interesting to fish for these blue ones

Love these informative vids Alex What sort of depth of water do you usually look for with grouper I think I know why iam not catching any , iam fishing to deep water You can see the sand and rock bottom in the video Do you need white water or can you fish the flattest of seas with no swell ??

Hi Alex, great episode, mate. I've got a question: What size Alvey is that mate?

Hi Neap The Alvey is 700B size. 7in Thanks for watching cheers

So I posted up a comment for your viewers to have a chance to own an Alvey ( seeing as you can’t buy them anymore ) and it was taken down. Didnt expect anything less.

Hey Luke No unfortunately it does not have a model no. t was given to me as a prototype rod to try out but that never eventuated It was never part of the Willson range. It appears to be a 15 to 24kg.

Hi Alex, which knot do you use to connect between main line and leader?

Hi Ryan If I am using a leader it will be an Albright join. Most of the time I tie straight to the main line with an Alvey reel.

Thanks for mentioning you liked the vid. Regarding the depth you will certainly catch them in deeper water as much as shallower. You don't necessary need white water like the majority of other rock species. Thanks again
