Your grandkids are so lucky. Imagine visiting your granddad, going fishing, listening to his wisdom and absorbing his techniques year after year.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks, Navman, no grandkids yet

[@mafiasyndicate]

@@RogerOsborneFishing Are you looking to adopt? I’m toilet trained as I’m a grown-ass man. I’ll supply the beers and you take me fishing 😀

[@davidduffy9806]

We’ll said and it’d be a life shaping experience.

[@sheddingCommunityWorkshop]

Hi Roger, I really enjoy your videos! I noticed your comment about breaking the neck if the fish because you didn’t have a knife, I’ve been wanting to comment about dispatching fish for a while and I guess today is the day ~ there is a technique called brain and bleed that greatly enhances the flavour of the meat as it takes out stress hormones in the blood that flood the fish when it’s caught. And it also stops the fish from suffering unnecessarily. In Japan this method is called Ikijime. I wanted to see if you’d be open to looking it up, to prevent unnecessary suffering of the fish you catch Thanks again for your fantastic videos Kat

[@liquidsofa]

I love targeting whiting. I pump my own yabbies and do as you are doing in this video. One thing that make laugh is I see people show up to a yabby bank. They pump a heap of yabbies then get in their boat and take off in a random direction at 70 kts. As I watch them disappear over the horizon, I think to myself "Where are you going? The dinner table is back here. The fish come here to eat, the yabbies told me so".

[@tonybloker5227]

Thanks again Roger.

[@Australianzwayne]

Awesomeness Roger, cheers

[@1PricelessShot]

Roger your a legend brother thankyou for your great informative videos so refreshing

[@tzardick]

Seriously good video Roger, so thanks! What a fantastic way to fish! Stonker of a bream too! I'm heading to a South Coast estuary and so this was just what I was after.

[@tommyfarhad-un1qo]

Well done Sir!

[@thejessusman]

another great video Roger. i find it is quite easy just to break the movable pincer of the large claws off so they cannot bite you but it still leaves the whole claw on the yabbie.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Great idea Randall !!!

[@terrybruton2964]

Hey, Rodger, I live inland now but I like to watch every episode just to remind me of a previous life, But I learn so much from you. It's like listening to the old blokes sat home, Give a tip but hold a secret. Keep going!

Great video Roger I always prefer estuary fishing especially the light tackle set up Just wished our rivers were as gin clear as yours

[@alipapzan809]

Great video, Roger! Your tips were very helpful and I can't wait to try them out. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks mate let me know how you go

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

great work mate

[@petermarch3274]

The squirt worms are certainly interesting……and so easily picked up. Will have to check them out.

[@petermarch3274]

Loved the video too Roger & really appreciate you putting them up for us to view. An awesome session hey!

[@harleycooper8595]

Incase anybody is wondering the fish he holds at 16:14 is a silver biddy ….we get them a lot in big schools around the Maaroom/big Tuan areas (just over from Fraser island … they are actually a Indian delicacy they make them into curry …havnt tried myself …yes they can be used for bait …but in my experience if you can get fresh herring or nippers just use those ….ymmv

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Harley

[@johnkeynes8873]

Hi Roger when I go catching salt water yabbies I keep them in a burley container and hang it from my bait belt,they will stay alive all day,great video thanks lm going to try for yellowfin whiting today see how we go beach worms for bait cheers for now.

[@stuartlackas7221]

Hey Roger, Loving the videos mate. Really liked this one about the rock fishing. After the big swell this week i was hoping to get out for a fish but could not get there.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Stuart

[@bigdirtyfreighttrains951]

Another great video Roger; it'd be great to see more estuary/lake fishing videos from the shore. I've gone recently and it seems from about 8:30am onwards things get very quiet (in the Hawkesbury). Any tips on choosing good/better times?

[@devinematt2544]

What a stonker! Or is it a horse! Holy mackerel - love your vids Roger!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Matt

[@kevinbogart7648]

Great video know this spot well. Watch out for those Dog yabbies and Horse Bream though 😂

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Frank

[@franksaunders6534]

@@RogerOsborneFishing No worries, Roger. Some small landlocked lagoons are full of shrimp and pretty fish and the bream locked in there, absolutely gorge themselves silly and pack on size quickly.

[@manfromcoo1968]

come to Adelaide mate and have a fish with me!

[@richardmason902]

Nice

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks

[@ospbankstown]

That strange fish was a silver biddy. They were very common in botany bay , but haven't seen them around for a long time

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very interesting, I was wondering what it was! Thanks for the info

[@Nikopotamus]

Hey Roger thanks for all your informative videos. Can I ask, why do you remove the nipper?

[@Mark-ew5jm]

What an awesome video again Roger…..and what a great bream….Do you think the “unknown” fish may have been a juvenile Jackass Morwong?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I don't know ?

[@breambaronfishing]

It’s a silver biddy

[@stevemccormack5856]

Blue nose bream👍

Looks like Burril Lake, caught some nice flattys drifting past where you were with plastic

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes it is 🎣👍

[@chasingthedream7849]

Great video! What time is best for this type of fishing?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I was fishing in the middle of the day, but time of day and tide could improve the catch.

[@w0lfm4n43]

Nother great video roger. I do have to ask.. can you use circle hooks to avoid the gut hook with yabbies?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I generally use a long shank because it best fits a yabbie

[@regkershaw]

Good content once again. Where is your local waterway ?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Burrill Lake

[@TimNixon-ge7kw]

Nice bream Roger there the breeders let me go big blue nose

[@robb2996]

Roger, I live in the Illawarra NSW and plan to buy a 10-12ft "whippy" beach rod for whiting, bream and the occasional salmon or tailor. What brand/size reel do you recommend? Are the cheaper reels ok or is it best to spend a few $$?

[@davidgc4396]

Usually catch those in the cast net and use them for bait where I live 😊

[@davidgc4396]

Use the old straight stick method to remove swallowed hooks 😊

[@wayneswallow1378]

Hi Rodger new scribe here and love ur videos.Q Will sand whiting take smalll squid baits?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes Wayne, Small strips of squid are great for Whiting

[@pauldhughes]

I have been breaking the clamping side of the claw off so I can’t get bitten. Sometimes they actually throw the claw after I do that though.

[@jonathannaidoo]

Hey Roger greetings from Florida. The mystery fish in this episode is a yellowfin mojarra.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Jonathan, thanks

[@Kevenant]

Hi Roger. Would love to know what that 'hybrid' herring/bream fish is. I caught one in Lake Macquarie and have never seen one before either. Released it but it's jaw/mouth is very thin and easy to damage making it not be able to eat. Hopefully he's doing OK, but no luck for me search8ng the species.

[@rizhwanreddy1069]

Looks like a silver biddy. Bait fish from warmer waters.

[@9W8o7l7f4]

👍

[@deweylee2449]

The rig that you are using is called a texas rig here. Very good rig here for what we call prospecting. I deal for casting out and every few minutes you can ease the bait back to you to cover more water that might be productive.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Great info, thanks Dewey

[@tonyboseski4395]

Hi Roger where are you fishing mate .looks good.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Burrill Lake NSW

[@David-sb7vg]

Is a stud bream one that's breeding and keeping the system going?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

No, it just refers to the solid size

[@getzvalerevich6565]

So when you say totally safe, what happens if there are bull sharks in the estuary? Would they attack? Hahaha "you dog", 😂, that's the best. Thanks for the video Roger

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very unlikely

[@getzvalerevich6565]

@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks for the reply and the assurance.. I have many estuaries I wanna hit here in Noosa, looking forward to it

[@iangodfrey6310]

Left or right handed reel set up? Or doesn't matter, just what feels comfortable for you?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

What's comfortable I think

[@PR0389]

Roger is a left handed caster so right hand wind. That way you don't have to swap hands when the bait or lure hits the water.

[@1969cmp]

G'day Roger. Where is 'my estuary'?. Cheers from central Oz 🙂

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

This is Burrill Lake NSW

[@billy4147]

wow that bream was a good fish, how old would it be?

[@bradgibson9159]

Probably 30 to 40 years old...

[@franksaunders6534]

@@bradgibson9159 Depends on the supply of food. On the East Coast of Tasmania in a landlocked coastal lagoon there were lots of bream 18-20 cm long. One year later they had grown to over 30 cm so I don't buy into that spiel about them being such a slow growing fish.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I'm not sure Billy but undoubtably quite a few years. There are plenty around here.

[@sarbaazchabahar]

When I think about Australia and getting in rivers or sea all I think is "hey is there a crocodile or a shark lurking around???!" My question to Mr. Osborne is: How safe is to get in water like that to get baits or to fish? Thank you.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Super safe, almost no danger at all

Im more scared of the stingrays😥got my brother iwrin😓

Once you get down past ,about Bundaberg you're safe from crocodiles. Where he is would be pretty safe. The water is crystal clear there. I'd love to be there on my kayak 😊

[@markbowman2890]

Is it fact or fiction that a motorboat or jetski driving past will induce a whiting to bite?

[@alistairmills7608]

That's a horse of a bream, 40 at least.

[@stevemccormack5856]

Why haven’t you got 4 rods out 😂

[@stevemccormack5856]

U muck around to much. You don’t need a net

[@jv.boonkvlogs6675]

Heyy do you know the best tide for lots of whiting

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

First 3 hours of the run in

[@andydavidson6841]

The old saying....it's the Alvey reel that fills the creal. Egg beaters are crap. You need to give line to whiting once you get a bite. Hard as with a jap crap reel

[@lauchlanguddy1004]

yes have only ever really used Alveys... so many reasons
