Flathead - Catch - FILLET - Cook! Delicious FISH TACOS!

[@peterbrennan3724]

Hey roger , just a little tip I’ve found that makes a very big difference , if you flour your fillets before dipping in egg the panko crumbs see to stick much better.!

[@luciusinfabula9148]

100% correct! I recommend trying salmon in this way too, crumbed salmon fish fingers are really nice and should suit this recipe quite well.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Peter, yes you are right. I could have added that step 😊

[@johnkeynes8873]

Great video Roger I'm about to have a go for a flathead next week that are bluespot flathead hear in SA.😊

[@jarredallard1882]

Give up mate your shit at what ever you do

[@chrisz8532]

I know the flour coating works, but I recon it makes the fish a little too stodgy. Less is more when it comes to fish. Great video, thanks for sharing this 👍

[@danmurphy5889]

The eggs from the flathead are bloody delicious, you can cook up ep the same way

[@Nonone41667]

That was great! More catch and cook please, Roger 🙏😀

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

More to come!

[@yippiecahier9253]

I second that request!!

[@daviddarwin5677]

Great video thanks Roger. You are so good at talking through everything you’re doing and you always catch fish!! 😊

[@steverichards966]

A cracking video Roger. Great to see your fishing techniques in this awesome and very different location. I loved the whole catch, fillet, and cook format. Encore!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@Mark-ew5jm]

Sensational Roger….i have done similar with salmon fillets on a surf beach…a little portable cooker and fresh fish…nothing better and what a scenic location….would love to see more like this Roger.

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Ripper video Roger! If you are prepared to do some research and a bit of legwork you can access some places that see very little in the way of fishing pressure and in most cases have the whole place to yourself! The main trick is to pack light - there is nothing worse than lugging stuff into a place and then when you get there realising you won't need it- a light spin outfit, a few lures, a very basic med kit , a bottle of water packed in a small backpack is all you need. Also, a good idea to let someone know exactly where you are going and what time you expect to be back- you can be surprisingly close to civilisation and not have phone reception and if no one knows where you are going or when you are coming back, they won't come looking for you if something does go wrong!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Ian, I totally agree. Good advice 👌

[@AS-pq1rc]

A tip for reeling in flathead: hold your rod horizontal and don't make it break surface. They won't fight almost at all until you bring them up; this is especially true for bigger ones, they will just hang on like a big piece of weed there and will go crazy as soon as they feel the air.

[@666Havers]

this is true. caught a big one the other week and pretty much guided him to shore, wasnt even much of fight i was almost sad that i didnt have to fight it

[@BriggsBessenger]

You know Roger I grew up in East-Londen in SA enjoyed the beach,but once I went with a friend to catch fish of the peer ,the shad were running.I got hooked up on one , obviously with no knowledge,I the last time I saw the fish it was about 3meters from me.I really enjoyed that experience, but I never had the means to acquire fishing rods, but I just love fishing.Maybe one day

[@michaelpaul5498]

Hi Roger and Bec, thanks for sharing. The fish tacos look delicious and very simple. Well done.

[@editsweet101]

Welcome 😊 I very much enjoyed eating the tacos 😋

[@simonellis8092]

Great work Roger - I fished that same spot after Chrissie this year and landed a 55cm bream from under the timber on the other side. Biggest bream I’ve ever seen. Great to see it’s still firing.

[@darcijohnson4637]

Where abouts is this spot?

[@dankoz3286]

I caught a 54cm bream on a live nipper in a lake in southern NSW in 1993

[@nathanmcgrath9038]

Rodger those chubbies are great for everything. I make my own all black with yellow eyes and the same with pink eyes. And they catch everything for flatties to bream

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very good, thanks Nathan 😊

[@poetrybyivo1299]

Of all the great things about your videos roger, i love that you fish landbased. So many channels focus on boat fishing, but great to see the spots you target and tactics you use when perhaps positions are limited without a boat.

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Flathead is the best eating fish IMHO... I was told if you start skinning with a knife then just pull the skin off the side bones come out with the skin... Just an idea! Keep it up Roger!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Matt

[@franksaunders6534]

Nothing better than catching a couple of nice fish then turning them into a delicious meal! Enjoyed watching this while eating some curried drummer fillets.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very good 😊

[@benjaminprince6424]

The Mrs cooked up some fish tacos with a flatty and bream mixture from both our catches, all your mentioning of them was stuck in my subconscious 😂 absolutely delicious, made a little burrito for one too, nothing to fancy required and tasted just as good.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Good stuff Benjamin

[@chrispynickers3094]

Grew up fishing for flathead with my dad.. the roe/eggs taste great. Thank you for your video Dad is not with us anymore. Wish I had an uncle or a friend like you to show us the way of the fisherman.

[@ilonalucasbunney5676]

Orsum fishing Roger love the catch and cook.😊and a easy way to fillet flatheads.

[@twizelbob]

Awesome video Roger.

[@moonlitpearl700]

What an amazing spot to fish at. There is a spot like this in Florida where I vacation. I am going to try your strategy there. Thanks a zillion.

[@normalisoverrated]

I just hope Roger isn't in Croc-Country here & I'm sure you know to be aware of Gators there. Cheers, Mate!

[@lala345blue]

Fantastic! Love the catch and cook

[@mathewjon9329]

Brilliant Roger! Absolutely loved it. I was surprised the big flatty behind you didnt fall off while you were cooking

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Ha ha, yes

[@andrewcholinski]

Could not have timed this video any better Roger. Im heading to Australia soon and planned on fishing for flathead in exactly a similar situation in a location near this video. This is just the best!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad I could help

[@bikesandoutdoors]

A most enjoyable watch and the catch and cook angle is a great idea 👍

[@SouthCoastChompers]

Great video Roger, careful soon you’ll catch Michael and my addiction for walking the flats throwing lures ha ha That mango salsa of yours is magic 👌🏻

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@Garou0410]

awesome Roger. great place. beautiful day. lovely fishing. yummy food. love the salsa you made. big thanks also to your camera woman. she does a great job as usually delivering superb footage. have a great weekend. cheers from Austria 👍🐺👋

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it, Hi from Australia

[@richardayoub5323]

Well done Rodger, not only are you a good fisher man, your ability to read and understand the environment helps significantly when catching fish. Very good all rounder. Cheers

[@errolmichael3354]

Top video Roger

[@terencephilipstrydom4838]

Great video!❤ Food looks yummy!❤

[@michaeldavies3481]

Great content Roger,you make me really jealous I'm here in soggy damp cold, South Wales GB, you cannot beat fresh fish self caught,looks fabulous.

[@CJArnold-hq3ey]

Home of my Pop came out to South Oz a Century ago , No TV back then had 10 kids and these Lizards ( Flathead ) are the best eating Fish in the Sea , Moist chunky boneless tail with a flavour of the Sea , Brilliant , what other Countries call Flathead arent the Same , Cheers 🇦🇺👌

[@Contample]

Hey Roger. Another great episode as always. I really enjoyed the cooking part at the end, really helps the unskilled fish cooks like myself. I'd really like to see more of them with all the different varieties of fish you catch! Thanks again, I always look forward to Saturday's and checking out your new adventures!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 👍 I will do more catch and cooks.

[@doncoyle114]

Hi Roger, absolutely brilliant, a great location with stunning results, the catch and cook the icing on the cake, top shelf.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Don 😊

[@jaytango3594]

Fabulous video Roger. Love that you did the whole water to the frying pan catch and cook. More please!

[@rogerstackhouse3832]

Love your videos. Especially seeing the beautiful beaches in Australia. Would love to visit some day. Have gotten a lot of tips and techniques to try surf fishing too. The fish tacos have my mouth watering!

[@moonlitpearl700]

Oh my, those fish tacos looked so yummy! I love your videos.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Margo

[@aquilip1]

Another terrific episode Roger. Loved the look of your tacos too 👍

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, thanks

[@gavinhowie8189]

Excellent video Roger. Love flathead. Enjoyed the added graphics showing depth of water and drop off. We love a good fish taco may have to try your salsa recipe. Good work and keep the vids coming.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Gavin 👍

[@mRFishNinK]

Well done Roger it’s always a pleasure mate!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks mate! 😊

[@abdulshah7747]

catch and cook great.

[@pigsandapples]

Great stuff Roger. Those little coastal lagoons can be gold mines. I loved watching your catch and cook - fully expected you to sit on that flathead on the log!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks, ha ha yes that Flathead was a bit close. I wouldn't want to get spiked in the behind!

[@nedkubatka4665]

Yet again another great episode Roger well done 🎣🎣

[@Bennyboy-dog]

Very good. I like the new cooking session. Filleting is good info too.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Ben, Glad you like it!

[@klockwurk]

Love that you indicated with colours and arrows how you fished! Thanks for doing that!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

My pleasure!

[@BriggsBessenger]

Hey Rog that flathead taco, you really got my mouth watering 😢

[@monkold-sd6lm]

This is such a special video!! Nothing can beat this happiness of fishing and cooking at such a heavenly place. just loved it Roger! Expecting few more videos with cooking climax on various fish. A great fan of your from India and i follow each and every guidelines and giving ammazing results. Thank you so much.

[@mrfardoulysadventures7875]

yes more catch and cook be good. whiting, bream, mudcrab or blue swimmer, all be good.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Sounds good!

[@nathanwatt8723]

Hey Roger this is awesome love seeing you doing catch and cooks would love to see you do more makes all the hard work of fishing worth it.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks, More to come!

[@XavierZadro]

I bought a very similar chubby lure the day I watched this video 😂🤙🎣

[@cheekyScarecrow]

More catch and cook please! so good 👍

[@rowanwild343]

Legend!!! Thanks for the cooking tips too 😊

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

You are very welcome!

[@craigmorgan1612]

One of your best Roger Flathead hard to beat for flavour

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Craig 👌

[@woody4269]

Love this catch n cook format Cheers Roger.🤙

[@maccastime]

Great video Roger,lovely flatties my favourite.i have had huge success with a lure called Prawno. Flatties hit it all the time.have you heard of these lures? The cooking was really nice.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Macca, I'll have to check out the Prawno lure

[@johnkeynes8873]

Well I have to thank you for your salsa recipe I didn't have any flathead so I used King George whiting instead turned out very nice thanks.

[@can-cruiser]

Catch and cook make the best videos. Greetings from Canada..

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 👍Hi from Australia!

[@doingitfresh7544]

Incredible

[@sebpaul8971]

More catch and cook please Roger!!

[@nevillechetty1621]

Hey Roger, excellent video as usual. Another tip, to test the heat in the pan, just put a pinch of the flour in the oil... if it sizzles like how you want it, you're good to put in the fillets.

[@cristawocadlo7025]

Fabulous tx

[@selvin4747]

Awesome video Roger! Loved the catch and cook session. I’m definitely gonna try making the mango salsa.

[@user-cg9oi5ug4d]

Way more catch and cook please 🙏 loved this one , catching heaps of flatty on the swan but want to catch them more towards the ocean to eat ❤ great video , thankyou

[@yiqnni9789]

Hey Roger, just a quick tip when using those shallow diving chubby lures, I love the slow reel but I add a couple of pauses, especially when targeting flathead to allow for a longer biting window which helps to pick up that extra fish on more quiet days where the fish are being picky

[@duncanhewett394]

Living the dream, great catch and cook

[@NautFin]

Seeing that lake recieve fresh salt was good. that was a good little lake.

[@smyrnian_]

Nice. I just had dinner and I'm hungry already!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

So good!

[@charliedelta9501]

Roger is a great fisherman, all that he needs a this point is to have a small pole net, and his fishing would be more pleasant to watch 😮

[@Goran2551]

Lately ive been fishing around Eden / Nullica …at low tide and have been catching some good fish …2 x 40 cm bream..the next day ..a Salmon …a Tailor and a bream all within the first hour …good season for fishing

[@GailBombardiere]

Roger, after watching your flathead taco KZbin video, we tried it, what a delight! As Soon as we catch some salmon we’ll give the salmon fish cakes a go. Cheers, ‘love your work’.

[@timwoodcraft2166]

Great video mate thank you! Something to try, I use smiths crinkle cut salt and vinegar chips crushed up as the crumb. Bloody beautiful 👌🏻👌🏻

[@alistairmills7608]

Great video mate and Mrs Roger

[@mattyboy.1]

hey roger it was my 15th birthday last week and i got a diawa excellor 2500 with 8lb line and a 3kg veritas and a shimano nasci 3000 with 15 lb rod aand im going camping up at noosa on the holidays but was wondering if i should put my nasci on my veritas with 10lb mono and the excellor on a other rod i have because im using a 12kg rod for 6kg line but really just wanted say say thanks for all the stuff you taught me in the 5 years ive been fishing solo. ps i ws wondering what pund line you were using?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I think leave the Excellor on the Veritas. I was using 8lb braid with 6lb fluoro leader

[@mattyboy.1]

thanks mat will do, hopefully the 6-12 kg rod isnt too overkill because thats all i have for it @@RogerOsborneFishing

[@anthonyclark6118]

Your a champ Roger. Really enjoy your KZbin channel…just super rich with learnings every time. Thanks mate! 😊

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very welcome Anthony 😊

[@jasonbeale6875]

Right I’m hungry

[@jamesart9]

35:37 Pro tip: Close the top of the bag, ensuring it has planty of air inside, spin a couple of times to seal, then just toss/jiggle the bag around to cover everything without effort or mess. Works a treat for anything you are coating.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks James

[@stevecoppin2890]

Thanks

[@stevecoppin2890]

Love your videos, learning a lot, thanks Roger.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Steve 😊🎣

[@mitchmcbride6053]

One tip with that lure is high stick it keep the rod high and then slow wind it you can make it operate a lot higher than if the rod is lower

[@dosquats]

Nice one!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@serenasullivan9466]

Good one hope to see more like this

[@mariosardon3025]

Love to watch you. Your such a cool guy. Thanks for sharing

[@adrianch2527]

Good stuff Mr Osborne.. Fish taco yummy.. Shalom

[@jeffreymorphett]

Love it 🤙

[@mitchmcbride6053]

Also in shallow water flat head will take a surface lure no worries at all with that lure in deeper water hold rod down wind to get low pause to let float and repair that sometimes works try a ghost gill 38 chubby works amazing

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks a lot Mitch 👍

[@hamham_182]

Tacos look amazing! Nice salsa mate

[@patrickbrown8253]

G'day Roger, loving the videos mate. Just wondering what the brand of the chubbie lure is? I assume its the Jackall shallow. Ive learnt a lot from your videos, catching fish much more regularly 👌👌👌

[@DanielMarais-h6u]

Wow, that looks delicious 😋

[@kelliehundt]

Great video 👍🏼 nice flatties. Great watching you do some cooking of them too!

[@pawpaw5717]

Short & simply YUM!

[@Frankiegish]

The Roe is delicious cooked the same way as the fillets.

[@jesspridmore4484]

Great vid Roger!

[@robertjennings9584]

Hi Roger I’ve just subscribed to your channel really good information it’s inspiring me to get back out there and fish again .those flathead you cooked up we’re making my mouth water .love your your channel keep it going Roger thanks

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks and welcome

Thanks and welcome

Lovely videos Roger, keep them coming.

Thanks Dennis

Lizards are the best eating fish in the sea by a mile . Cheers from South Oz 🇦🇺👌

[@tullytew925]

anyone else notice the fish jump out at 4:22

[@editsweet101]

Nice. I edited the video and didn’t even notice that one 😂

[@jacknohe]

Nice one Roger! Love your work!

[@keithprinn720]

pretty similar to how I cook flatties but will try the salsa and tortillas soon thanks. try the same crumbing with the egg roe sacs absolutely superb, used to use for bait for trevally in wollongong harbour back when coop used to prepare fillets throwing in frames for fish to feed on. decent size too. great way to cook many tacos with fish or squid with salsa

[@nileswright8915]

awesome! nom-nom-nom ;)

[@bobbymac2911]

Fish taco fans~ This makes a huge difference~ warm those tortillas up first and wrap them in aluminium foil, set aside, then cook the fish. NEVER MAYO!!!! Get some sour cream and mix in lime juice about 3/4 sour cream to lime juice, dash of salt and pepper. Mexican sour cream (crema) will drizzle and the lime juice adds the acid. Otherwise, well done Roger!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Bobby sounds great. I will give it a try!

[@editsweet101]

Ooooo Bobby why the hate for mayo though? .. I LOVVVVE mayo on these fish tacos 😅 but next time I will definitely try your version as they sound yummy too

[@bobbymac2911]

I'm a native Californian (all caps was probably too aggressive) and just trying to suggest how to make it a little more authentic.

[@outdoorsforachange]

I have access to identical waters in Michigan, but without all the salt and sheer number of fish. I'm hoping I can use some of the same tactics I'm learning here on the channel.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I hope so too!

[@shabeermusthafagasee]

Nice video,thank you.The catch and cook is amazing...love it.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks for watching
