- G'day Legends, this week good mate Bob and I head out chasing luderick on centrepin Alvey's, floats and green weed. After a slow start the fish come on the chew and we have an absolute ball chasing these estuary brawlers.

Happy Sunday legends! Who else targets the mighty luderick!?!
That’s sick fellas! Haven’t yet, but definitely keen to give it a go!
Love it. Same as Mullet under a float. Bit of a lost art.
Sammy’s saved Sunday arvo!! Legend 👌 👌 👌
Yes I do in port Macquarie 49 cm 3kg
Not all the time, but every now and then if it's slow, I'll drop back to the light spin gear and some fresh weed 👌
Cheers guys, nice show.
8 -9°C is perfect weather...I use bread only. 80% of fish I catch are Ludericks. I am disabled, fishing from my mobility scooter, so it is very hard for me to get the weed or get on the sand. I caught lots of mullets and bream , but I just love catching Ludericks. It is sooooo much fun
It's so bloody funny you posted this video today. I was literally walking along the breakwall with my wife this arvy watching the old boys smacken the ludds and I mentioned how bloody boring that style of fishing is....couple hours later she's confused why I'm watching 50min video on it!! Hahaha now I wanna give it a crack!!!
MadkeenMicallef hahaha that’s awesome! You better let me know when you give it a try! Bet you won’t be saying it’s boring then 😉😉
This was my old man's favourite style of fishing so we did lots of this growing up, collecting weed and laying out on old Hessian bags keeping it damp, rigging up with home made floats and home made rods, it was a process but that was part of the pleasure spending hours in the shed getting prepped. It was years later I learnt the species name Luderick dad used to call them by a different name 🤐..
Quite a strong iodine flavour if you eat em. We were in the Newcastle area but I can't remember the exact fishing locations but I do remember it was very popular, lots of older blokes out. Late 60's early 70's
Had a great laugh about how "freezing" it was for you, cheers from Canada.
Brian hahaha mate you guys wouldn’t understand. Below 30 degrees in Queensland is classified as cold. It’s a different kind of cold to what you guys get over there... sort of 😜🤣🤣🤣
Hey Sammy, appreciate this was a few years ago but a couple of tips for you…. Use daiichi 2171 hooks in size 8 or 10 - they pin blackfish better than anything else I’ve tried - much better than the little green hooks! For cabbage, only use 1 leaf, don’t fold it but lie your hook alongside the leaf. Half-hitch twice on the leaf above the hook then very lightly place the hook through the single leaf. Looks much more natural & you’ll pin significantly more fish! Tight lines for the upcoming season! 🤙
Cheers mate, I’ll have to give it a try 👌👌🍻🍻
Loving your Southern Moreton Bay vids. Fishing in my backyard Sammy. The Slipping Sands are a great place to fish and relax. The big dead tree gave you and Bob away. Great weed beds around there too.
Des Gamble yeah mate it’s a great part of the world down there! Glad you liked the video🍻🍻
loving the broad range of content mate, well done again!
Gavin Swanson Cheers Gavin, I love mixing it up a bit! Gotta keep you guys guessing! 🍻🍻
Thanks Sam and Bob. Great vid. Look forward to giving this a go!!
I have use braid for several years now it gives better strikes as before I used monofilament . The best weed is the long tough strands with no 9,10 mustard hooks, best time is early morning on the run up tide over 1.5 mt high .
Haha I remember the day walk my float along they bank, tiger mullet Chanel if I not mistaken
oh i love using the float wen targeting piper/garfish. have tried it for luderick b4 too wen they were around the surface but i found the running rig more effective for the bigger ones. they r gr8 to target especially on light tackle
Mate there called Parore back here in NZ. This luderic business is ludicrous.
Basic_Fishing nice mate! Yeah they are awesome fun 🍻🍻
Hi Sammy, I tried your recipe from last week. As I have no fish in the freezer I tried it on chicken thighs with fettuccine. Mate that recipe is kill for, thank you.
Lars Lange oh nice! I’ve never tried it with chicken! Your talking about the garlic butter one right?
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Yes Sammy, but I did change it a bit by adding 5 large garlic cloves close to a tablespoon.
Real sports fishing!
More patients than I've got, well done boys.
DCA001TUBE hahah we’re fisherman! The whole game is based around patients! 🍻🍻
Good to see you finally using Caboolture Ice Sammy locals supporting locals👍👍
Scott Smith it’s bloody good stuff too! Lasts for ages 🍻🍻
Funny that you uploaded a centerpin video, mine just arrived in the mail Friday!
Kyle Kitchen hahah perfect timing!! 🍻🍻
Great video mate. Plenty of good info. I've never tried too hard for the luderick but your vid has inspired me to give it a red hot crack. Gonna head to Iluka late next week I reckon.
Steve Thomas Definitely give it a try mate it’s awesome fun! Glad you enjoyed the video 🍻🍻
Centre pins and alvys are not needed , I use a standard egg beater reel and catch them without the outlay for something you don’t need to catch ludric or blackfish .
Do you know what’s more fun than blackfishing in a boat? Blackfishing in a kayak! I managed to get amongst a few yesterday. One was an absolute kilo plus stonker that smashed my knuckles as the centrepin spun backwards on its initial run. Left them biting after the keeper net showed half a dozen. 3 feeds for my family on one small morning session. Love the luderick!
Sounds like good fun mate!
Looks like fun! Thanks for the video 👏🏻👏🏻
Lauri Brown 🍻🍻🍻
Great video again mate
Francis P11 cheers mate! 🍻🍻
Where are you guys fishing in the jumping pin as I want to get back into catching blackfish again ,don’t have to be exact just need a starting point. I used to catch heaps in NSW many thanks for your help
Take my hat off to you Sammy brilliant show 👍
Michael Horsley Cheers Micheal! Appreciate the support mate 🍻🍻
Awesome, are black bream a southern (cold water) thing. How far up the coast to NQ (Bowen-St Lawrence) would you find them. As a kid at Caloundra, i'd fish for them with my father. They were great
Bradley White I’m not sure how far up they go sorry mate? Yeah they still get a good run at caloundra 👍👍
Nice lill tip given me by me pop and great uncle was to throw the rig out to wherever you are going to be drifting to and then pinch a blob of vassaline and the line between your thumb first two fingers and wind in
The line then floats and without the bellie in the line you'll have a better hookup rate
Red Amor hey mate! Believe it or not I have heard of that one but never tried it! The braid seems to go pretty good!
I'm watching your video from Japan. I don't speak any foreign languages, but I like your videos.
釣りスー thanks for watching 🙌🙌
There is something therapeutic about staring at a float waiting for a down. They fight different to most fish. They don't run too far, but if you try to bring a good one too soon they will get you every time. The spots that used to be shoulder to shoulder 40 years ago are mostly unfished now. Hopefully a few more young fellas will give it a crack.
Matt Wright 100% mate! Nothing beats the visual aspect of it! I know what you mean. It would be good to see a blackfish comeback! 🍻🍻
I like using a 6-7 weight fly rod with a spinning reel. Can't stand centre pin reels.
Also on the hooks I use owner mosquito hooks. Much better hookup rate than the mustad snecks.
Phil Dean each to their own mate, I prefer the centrepins myself. I found the Gama bonefish hooks work well too 👍👍
Yeah iv had a go at fishing for them this way and didnt like it.. I moved to the south coast where winter fishing shuts down. I wondered past the local wharf one night and was packed with lud fishos... they use a padanosta single hook rig. Hook sits just above the hook and is just off the bottom.. use nippers or worms and they kill it.. i adopted this method and can clean up pretty much any night during the winter..biggest one to date is 46cm
russ1185 nice mate! Sounds like an interesting technique! Might have to try it up here 👌🍻
Sorry mate, i meant the hook when dangling sits just above the sinker.. no casting its just simple straight down under the wharf. Tight line all times no slack.. the lud bite is so different to any other bite. The rod tip will bounce . Set the hook and hang on. Good fun
Wow amazing
Another awesome episode, Sammy! Does this mean a Jewy episode is up next, using the heads for baits!? 🤙🏻
HW cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately not much jewie fishing has been going on this year for me 😤😤
We'll done Sammy, giving luderick fishing a go this week Caloundra area
Nicholas Meredith cheers mate! Good luck! Hope you get a few 🍻🍻
thanks again Sam great vid, learnt heaps. need to find someone to tell me were to get weed, HAhAHa.
simon lee haha cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it! As for the weed, check all the quiet dark ally’s 😜🍻🍻
People say that Ludes can only be caught on weed but I caught one on a chunk of pilchard. I was salmon fishing off rocks and i noticed that when i threw away a mutilated pilchard bait the ludes under me were eating it. btw down here in SA they are huge compared to those you have. although ours look a little different
Antipodean33 yeah nice mate, they might be a different subspecies or a drummer?
I pick up the odd Drummer and Luderick on prawns fishing for Bream up here in Ballina
They have been known to take other baits but they almost only eat weed. Also I've had plenty of luck just using a bream rod with no float, really pisses people off when ur catching them infront of people with full luderick setups
The weedy taste is true. We fished off the rocks and we kept them alive in a catch net in a rock pool. When we finished up they were bled and then immediately gutted, the gut cavity has a black lining, we brought a pot scrubber with us specifically to remove all traces of this lining. Keep alive, then bleed, then immediately gut and remove ALL the black lining and voila you then have as good a whole fish with succulent white flesh as you could want.
On a broader note, other fish also can have a black lining of the stomach cavity this should also be promptly removed to improve taste.
If you want to take on a brawler, the Ludderick's big bad cousin the Rock Blackfish or Pig will happily bash you up. They will take weed but as they are often much more massive than Ludderick you get smashed. Pigs were very unpopular among Blackfishermen for this reason, think what chance you with your rig would have against a 10lb Ludderick.
Great vid! - thanks guys.
that looks like some fun fishing
KristianFennellFishing it was awesome! 🍻🍻
I fish off the wall for these when the swell is on don’t need to burley on a very similar rig but I use a 3000 size reel find it’s quicker to bring them in before they bust you on the rocks don’t recommend when it’s raining landed on my ass a few times
Mossy Fishing yeah i haven’t done the walls yet but definitely keen to give it a try! Always a nice sketchy place to fish 🤣🤣🍻🍻
Hi where please
Go to just about any harbour or small jetty in nz and Chuck some frozen veggies in and you'll slay these, no on here try to catch them
It was just yesterday I was thinking how good it would be if you did a blackfish video 😂 read my mind, thank you for your service Sammy!
Jesse Bradshaw haha your wish is my command! 🤣🤣🍻🍻
Hitzke, Ya Mug..... Take your 11 foot beach rod, your center pin reel and green square hooks and throw all of them to the shit house, then replace it with the 9 foot Gary Howard estuary that Bob was using, a 2500 spinning reel and some really small circle hooks. You will have a much more enjoyable experience along with a lot more fish and you wont shut the school down..
I tried to find one of those vintage luderick alveys on eBay!! None ... it’s definitely a collectable 👌
Charlie Maddock yeah they are pretty epic! You’ll probably see one pop up randomly on a buy and sell page 🤷♂️
How Sammy....how is it your net is NEVER ready mate? Great video, thanks for sharing and the education.
Michael Lacey hahah cause i adopt the ‘worry about it when it happens’ theory 🤷♂️🤷♂️ haha well that’s my excuse anyway! 🍻🍻
Cauggt 3 ludericks in my life thus far all on yabbies, bloody great eating they are
Great session and good to see some estuary action. Very enjoyable video, thanks. On another note, what’s this fantasy about “your” MTE 3138? At least Bob said his old Alvey Luderick Special was his dad’s!
Terry Hitzke possession is 9/10ths of the law isn’t it 😜😜
Sammy any chance you could upload your vids at 3pm so I can watch it before the footy starts
Darron Galway sorry mate! Been 4pm for too long, can’t change it now!
This a great vid
Rayner Singh Cheers legend! 🍻🍻
Sammy could u tell me ur best snapper rod and reel
Awesome vid mate 👌👌💪
Is there a chance of there ever being a spearfishing with sammy sesh 🤔🤔🤷♂️😁
Keep up the quality content 😃
Toby Walker cheers Mate! I haven’t been spearing in years, but I would like to give it another crack. Hopefully do some more in the future!
Would they not eat prawns and worms? They look like a bream
Sammy talking like he’s got a good weed dealer 😂😂😂
Ross Co 🤣🤣🤣 I want the best quality I can get my hands on 🤣🤣
Good one Sammy , there good fun to chase . Did you bleed them as soon as you killed them ? makes a big difference eating wise.
Richard Anderson certainly did mate, I bleed every fish I take to eat 👍👍
nice video again
Brodie Abell 🙌🙌🙌 thanks mate! 🍻🍻
all good mate stay safe
The classic parore
Two old dude fishing luderick with old timer reel Loll... sick :)
Tailslap explore the new boy way to do it!! 🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing gonna get one myself, does it fit normal 7' rod?
I use a bait runner. Find it easier
Nice ❤️🥰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Seen heaps people doing this type fishing when l was young guy visiting my sister in port Macquarie and l thought weed what the hell lol they wr pulling heaps in but as l was sitting there with prawns catching nothing haha 😂
Arron Wellington hahah yeah it’s a lot more popular down south that’s for sure! You’ll have to give it a try!
Nicely done as always Sammy. On a lighter note - if this comment gets 1 like you should do a run of 5 panel hats
Matthew Ceccato I reckon at least 1 like per panel mate 🤣🤣
🔥
Hi Sam, how long is the trace in the rig you are using? thanks
Eddie Chin about 1m mate 🍻🍻
Lol I skipped to 3:48 and without context it sounds hilarious
Long rods were designed for rock fishing not boat fishing. You'll do better with an 8ft rod and a longer net handle so you don't high stick your rod, breaking the tip trying to reach the fish. Bleed the fish or they can taste gamey.
Mate if we should across each other when I visit Straya one day in the depth of winter, you'll find me in shorts still. As long as it's over 5C I'm not putting on long pants 😂
Hunter Flannigan hahah well I’m too white to not cover up, then being an Aussie, anything under 30 degrees is cold! 🤣🤣
@@SammyHitzkeFishing I see ya mate, I'm basically a viking with some Greek blood. No issues with either the sun or cold :'D
Greetings from Germany!

Can you do more land-based fishing?
Andrew Ng I don’t do a lot of it sorry mate. But will try get some more when the opportunity presents itself 🍻🍻
Why do you need such a long rod?
Conor As I said in the video it helps to stop pulling the hooks out and directing the fish out of the snag 👍
You cant fool us Sammy.....That's Shawn with a fake Mo & Glasses & nose ring.... #Not "BoB"
4KING JOKING 🤣🤣🤣 oh no! The gig is up!!
Not me

Can anyone give me tip where can get weed in Gold coast?
Johnny Park Low tide on the rocks mate 🍻🍻
They eat better when you bleed them.
Certainly do mate. All mine get brainspiked and bled 👍

Sammy Hitzke Fishing you knownit mate
Hey Sammy I'm a long time viewer and subscriber , I have leaned a lot from watching your videos.
Its videos like yours that has inspired me to start a CZcams channel on fishing myself,
It's been a year since I started my channel ,Please check me out and see what you think.....
your videos are awesome.... thank you!!!!!!
Awesome mate, congrats on the channel and thanks very much for the support!
You always wan5 good weed
Modern alveys are 💩 and so are the alvey brand rods
Hahah I think a few people share that opinion. I don’t mind the stealth for tailor 👍👍
