The importance of being able to “read a beach” is evident right here Roger. A moving bait is not bad really and down here in Victoria there is many occasions where we “battle” side wash currents. The drift does change as gutters fill or abate yet it is important to keep giving it a go and a reward of a fish is often achieved. Great video Roger.

[@mattd4616]

Thanks Roger for these exceptional videos, 18 months ago I relocated to the Forster Tuncurry area where I live 3 minutes from my local beach. However, up until recenty I've been unable to fish the beach because of a dodgy hip, but now after receiving a shiny new one I'm now able after many years to beach fish which is one of my favourite forms of fishing. Your videos are such an inspiration and motivation, thank you. And yes I've been successful with some cracking bream recently.

[@FHG1st]

A buddy and I, usually fish in a spot where the waves are huuuuuuge. You 5ounce sinker gets thrown around like madd. I've come up with a new rig, that GOD willing, if it works, will allow me to catch more fish. If it works, I may make a vid Abt it. I will share it, only if it works😂. Long time fan of yours @Roger👍

[@bobjanda1682]

This video demonstrates the single most frustrating aspect of my beach fishing exploits. A strong side current really does detract from the enjoyment and even Roger is battling on this occasion.

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

G'day Roger, Thanks for the praise! When I'm travelling to or from a spot i find that clipping the rod holder to the rear strap makes it less conspicuous and less annoying. The beauty of the system is that you can use either strap as you like and, on some beaches where you have to trudge a long way the rear strap position helps, I think. The whole system is about being mobile and fish a spot then move, pack light and don't carry more than you need.

[@AdP2614]

Thnx for showing the baiting of the stinger hook rig. Definitely going to be using this rig..👍👍

[@kenwebster5053]

OK, usually in that situation with a side current flowing along the beach, its heading towards a rip zone. So following it along will bring you to the rip, where the current is flowing out through the surf. Here, the surf will not be pushing you bait along and back to the beach. It will be trying to suck the bait out through the surf. As the current gathers strength toward the & in the rip will scour out the bottom & gather more and more food along the way, creating a deeper channel richer in food. Also, the rip will supress the breakers, making the calmer & clearer. This is where most fish will be feeding & where you want to be. You may even get the rip to carry you bait out to the back of the breakers. At 11:30, you are at the rip & at 16:06 you even say "look at that, my line's getting sucked out", well, that's the rip. It's a corridor of calmer water making a gap in the breakers. Get your catch squared away before repositioning your tackle. The rod was safe in the holder already, but you moved it while the dehooked fish was still lying in the wash zone. What if a wave had come in and taken it away while your hands were full of tackle? Then you pull up the rod holder before rebaiting your hooks. Do the rebaiting first, leave the holder where it is & recast to get the bait out in the bite zone again as fast as possible. You not going to catch fish while faffing about with gear, be efficient & get the bait back in the water, where the fish are.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Ken thanks for the commentary. I agree with what you have said. The water from waves washing into a beach always has to escape somewhere and even in those turbulent conditions calmer patches can be found. It is interesting how beach currents work.

[@VijayKumar-my3ih]

Hi Roger...i am watching your videos and it is such an inspirational and education.. beach fishing is one of my favourite hobby..my house is close to Arabian ocean i.e. couple min drive ( i.e., Kumta, Karnataka, India)..i wish i could fish with you and learn moee techinques.. lots of love from India...❤

When I see you have adopted a simple suggestion from your subscriber, that makes you something special. No end for learning. Eagerly waiting for your next video. God bless you with good health always. Love from India.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks India nice to hear from you. Hello from Australia!

[@bobmoore7481]

I well remember throwing hand lines into surf much bigger than that. I am sure on the backwash the bait would be uncovered. Yet we still caught large snappers. Clearly the fish come into the backwash to feed. I have often asked fishermen with surf rods if they are, in fact, casting past the feed line.

[@diamondpicker3183]

Nice job Sir! Now i know that there's always a possibility in every situation in beach fishing! Thanks for so many wisdoms/learnings from you!

this gives me confidence to keep trying and pay closer attention to the water / movement. I went out a couple of times the past weeks, sydney location, just no luck, no bites.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Yeah, I'm catching stuff all around Wollongong so you're not alone. There doesn't seem to be many bait fish around.

Keep trying Ben. I caught one Salmon on Tuesday morning and got a couple of bites last night so things might be improving. The water seems warmer and my little creek is warming up too.

Being big baits i cut them into halves then into fillets n within 20 to 30mins the flesh as almost devoured except for the skin n those w the head the head is left. Did i do it wrong???🤔🤔🤔 Nevertheless i enjoyed the thrill of feeling bites on the line. Regards 😊😊😊

Hey mate, good video what size kg rod and size r u using aswell as the reel please mate keep up the good work 👍

[@light487]

Would you test it using a float or something? It just guess it based on the line movement under the water? I know we've spoken about it before, to try and avoid current, but sometimes it's just not possible to get to the other end of the beach when holidaying with family.

[@chrispac6264]

Hey Roger, be great to team up and do a road trip. Perhaps a destination over here in SA. Tremendous beaches all the way through Vic and plenty within a spitting distance of Adelaide too. You have beach worms in NSW and there’s plenty here too so I guess that means they’re all the way through. Free bait at low tide. Awesome. I’d love to fish Waitpinga with you. How about I pick you up in Sydney and we fish all the way through Victoria right to SA; then keep going. We could keep going if you felt like it right through to the middle of the great Australian Bight. Yalata for some prime butterfish? Drop me a line any time…

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Hahaha try longbeach Washington. That surf would be really nice surf

[@thebeerhunter817]

I only just subscribed. I noticed recently when swimming with my kids if the side sweep is strong you just keep moving back to where you were. If you let it drag you along the beach you will most likely end up in a Rip current heading out to sea. Looks like you experienced that.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@w0lfm4n43]

When fishing in surf.. it it better with braid or mono? I was using heavyish sinker, 20pd braid n it felt like the braid was beibg sucked with the wave. Im curious if mono is better, cos it should sink n be less prone to "pulled" into wave, like braid, cos braid floats?

[@AndriesOutdoor]

Hallo, it all depends on you, you choose what you are comfortable with. I use mono for my multiplier reels (the pen reels) and braid for my grinder reels. hope this helps.

Hi wolf man. I prefer mono for beach and rock fishing

[@GaryGalmin]

Nice video, get yourself a long hook remover to throw in your bag.

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

I've learnt over the years that when one arrives at the beach and you are faced with a horrible sidewash turn around and go home as majority of times you'll likely to catch a cold sooner than a fish. I am however surprised that you caught a fish in that mess. Try putting dry sand onto the worm while baiting up, you'll find it much easier to thread it on.

Yes, thanks Pieter.
