How to CATCH Luderick in Your Local LAKE or RIVER!

[@newto4361]

Go Roger and assistant,thank you again for the enjoyment you dispense as usual,cheers.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Our pleasure!

[@keithprinn720]

at lake illawarra learnt two things about this, great fun catching them on weed and also squirt worms in winter. one extra thing not wanted how much pelicans harass you when you catch one lol. floats in estuaries a massive thing we can learn to do. especially using tide to run a bait along, very nice luderick after losing a few only need a couple fresh.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Keith

[@Lawsonvvvvv]

What Is different between the Luderick float and normal floats ?

[@ralphdixon4727]

Pelicans take them straight from your line they’re really a pain in the ass

[@johnklansek8898]

nice video and session Roger

[@pigsandapples]

Loved the video thanks Roger. It's so cool to see you fishing for species I chase and in places I fish. The luderick bug bit me a few years ago and I went down the centre pin path. So much fun. Hope to see you on the water one day.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks mate, say Hi if you see me!

[@chrishenderson9826]

Roger honestly me and my father love watching you 😊 You fish very much like us very simple and pleasurable fishing in beautiful locations Sadly we are from the uk and are limited really with only bass and mullet for good fun But anyway god bless you and your family Keep doing what your doing you will never know how much calmness you bring to people

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Chris 😊

[@michaelpaul5498]

Roger:"What do you feel like for dinner tonight, Darl?". Mrs Roger:" Some luderick might be nice..." Roger: "Ok". A couple of hours later... dinner.

[@Andrew1974B]

Roger you content is brilliant, thank you!!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Andrew

[@geoffbarnes9175]

Roger, another top video. I haven't fished for luderick for 40 years when the snapper bug hit me. We used to use an Alvey centrepin reel loaded with 6lb mono and a whippy 10' 6" rod. The mono was smeared with vaseline to make it float. We used to mix the weed with sand and chuck it out as berley I didn't know you were a sports fan as Mornay is a South African fast bowler and FitzPatrick played for the Wests Tigers. Put on some waders!!! f

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Geoff, I used to fish the same way when I was in my teens and twenties. Nice joke with the oysters 😂

[@ralphdixon4727]

Instead of a rubber stopper a piece of clear plastic tube over the top of float allows you to adjust the depth easily.

[@timwong-see7965]

New-ish to your channel Roger. Love your work. Encouraged me to try some beach fishing and maybe try for some elusive worms

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Tim

[@danielwang4274]

Hi roger, I have tried using your exact set up I find side casting often results in my leader getting tangled with my float as soon as I cast it at maybe 50% of the time. Would love if you'd go into more detail around casting techniques in your next video!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Okay Daniel

[@davetommy351]

Great video as always

[@krispycool1]

Hey Roger can you come visit SA some time and show us croweaters how its done please?

[@TheBabyskywalker]

Thanks!

[@Fishing-756]

I spotted a world record flathead on that sand flat the other day

[@theimpaler5034]

I lived in narrabeen for years I fished for bream and flathead there never seen u on the lake u must have fished the channel up the front I mainly fished pipe clay point and on the parkway for bream on surface lures

[@mal9948]

Hi Roger. Great vid as always! You said you were using your squid rod. Is it an EGI rod? Could you please tell us the actual rod you use? Cheers.

[@makattack7417]

Hey Roger can you make a video using bcf or anaconda beach worms that they have in their freezers in the plastic containers. Comparing to your fresh beach worms and have a tally please keep up the good work👍

[@robbietownsley697]

please can you do more videos on fishing varios species of fish in eastury or harbour enviroments??

[@BasicFishingNZ]

we call them parore in New Zealand. great fish to target and such fun to target with light tackle.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Great to hear they are in NZ also!

[@BasicFishingNZ]

@@RogerOsborneFishing seriously underrated here. they consider it a 'trash fish'

[@robbietownsley697]

roger,im amazed as to how clean the waters seem to be in australia. here in kzn natal south africa, our waters in easturies tends to be very dirty almost all of the time. i dont risk dirty water, due to bull sharks feeding the channels as the tide comes in. this limits available areas to fish.

[@tiller_gorilla7220]

Dirty water would be mud bottom We have sand bottoms clean sand

[@emileplumstead1808]

@@tiller_gorilla7220 In South Africa the turbid estuarine water is usually as a result of sediment washed in due to erosion in the catchment.

[@demzunoplayer]

A few out there.

[@wydensu820]

Hi Roger, very nice catches. May I please ask if you are able to catch luderick when you seen them swimming around below wharfs and pylons? Or do they have to be out of sight to bite? Because at my local wharf I see massive ones in excess of 45cm swimming around below me. Thanks.

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Great tutorial Roger ! Have you ever fished for luderick up where the channel drops into the lake ? on the north side there is a hole that i spotted a heap of luderick in but didn't have bait or gear for them. That lagoon always reminded me of Narrabeen lagoon and i always looked forward to fishing there when i had my van down near there . You didn't mention how good they are on the plate ! Bleed , fillet and skin - magnificent !

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Ian, I used to fish the drop off into Narrabeen Lake in my teens. I had a great time catching Blackfish there over a number of years. I was there recently, and it is still the same. Plenty of fish!

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

@@RogerOsborneFishing I meant the drop over at the lake you were fishing 🤣

[@scottsevers6194]

Thanks

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Welcome

[@ralphdixon4727]

I like the incoming tide as I’ve found more fish enter the system from the sea ( bigger cleaner fish) I also use a much larger hook and larger lengths of twisted up cabbage 🥬

[@kpun13]

Nice video Roger! Do you have any experience with catching kingfish?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, I have caught plenty of kings

[@robbietownsley697]

goodmorning to you Roger. please can you explain how to use a fish hook extractor? i just hate it when i must dispose of a fish due to the hook bieng swallowed to deep!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Okay, good idea

[@Dylansee0880]

Whats your thoughts on the old wrasse? Do you eat them legend.

[@xoxoops]

I could see the luderick saying "please help mee" oh well, just a turd in the dunny now 😂

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Long past the dunny 😊

[@gregwilson9035]

Hi Roger, is this rod you’re using, the Shimano Maikuro 2 (10’6”)?

[@andypeutherer4218]

Dear oh dear, look up slider fishing in the UK

[@AndrewVine-oz1ox]

Excellent video, I've noticed that you hold your rod with your right hand, with the reel handle on the right, can't you change the reel handle to the left , which is what we do here in england.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I am left-handed and it feels awkward for me to wind with my left hand.

[@Howie672]

Thanks Roger, great tip using pliers for shot. Won’t use my teeth anymore ;)

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad to help

[@JustSamOfficial]

Nice one Rodger...Can you do a garfish fishing video...?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes I can, when the weather warms up

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes I can, when the weather warms up.

[@PhillipRivara]

One Dali llama as fishermen when we lose a fish in the strike/set- Do you scale up the hook or downsize?? Just seconds after pushing send, you said you were thinking of upsizing your hook . I'm in California, but it is a universal question

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

In this case I needed to scale up. It depends on the size of the mouth of the fish that you are targeting.

[@sueallchin5376]

I use sheet lead so you can shave off lead to get perfect byocy rog

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, where can you get it nowadays?

[@catmus1506]

It always blows me away you can catch these on weed. I get them on sand worm, although the last one I got was on a small Celta.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

They do like worms, but the Celta is interesting.

[@cozzazee4043]

Love your vids mate.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Much appreciated

[@apm285]

Should we burly and with what. You have burlied with bread off the rocks in the past. Is it the same in the estuary

[@barbraabsalom4531]

Finely chopped weed you are using for bait , mixed with sand .

[@phillipgralton]

hi roger what is the rod you are using ?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

It's my Squid rod which is a similar length and style to a Blackfish rod. Shimano Sephia BB

[@Mandobird1]

A centrepin reel is best for this sort of fishing.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, I used to use a centrepin reel for them in my teenage years

[@waxmeatland]

Why is that? Is it the infinite line control like an alvey?

[@barbraabsalom4531]

@@waxmeatlandAs the float drifts , the line will turn the spool , so direct contact with the float , meaning no slack line as you strike when you get a “ down “ .

Bigger hooks 🪝 don’t drop as many fish and cabbage 🥬 is the go!

[@thedon9670]

Roger, why not use small circle hooks thus avoiding most of the issues with needing to set the hook.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I am not sure how it would go with the weed bait and float but worth a try.

[@mrsage4489]

May i ask, what is the merit of having the reel handle on the right side? You seem super unconfortable with the rod and constantly switching the holding hand. Love your videos though, learned a lot from you

Most of them in the rivers at this time of the year will eat cabbage because there fish that are coming in from out side to spawn and there used to eating it. But yer in the summer time they will want string weed. But hay I reckon go catch a flathead or few whiting and leave they filthy blackfish there🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

They are delicious Nathan 😊

[@barbraabsalom4531]

Bled , filleted , skinned , flour , egg & breadcrumb , you can have the flathead.

It's sad the younger Gen don't fish for them anymore. I love fishing for them with my mum. It's an art, lol.
