How You Detect a BITE & Hook the Fish! Beach Fishing Basics ✅

[@charlesmurray1220]

Roger, you're a natural teacher - articulate, detailed, and you repeat the key bits of information. Thank you Gent.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

You are very welcome.

[@Mark-ew5jm]

When I fish with two rods, I tend to use “circle hooks” on the rod which I am not intending to angle with. I have to say, on most occasions, the fish will hook itself in the corner of their jaw when using circle hooks which aids in easy release or de hooking. Love your videos Roger, very informative and no one is that well schooled in fishing not to learn something from these. Thanks for sharing.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Mark, I appreciate the info re circle hooks

[@Sweetaccord]

I do the same. Circle hooks self hook. Also can take any favorite hook you already have and side bend it to make them less inline and the fish self hooks also.

I use circle hooks on my in the holder rod too. I usually throw a lure with my second rod it just is less boring to me.

I am a beginner but watching couple of your videos made me more confident in choosing baits and fishing. I just came here accidentally after losing 2 kilos of salmon while pulling out of the water a week ago. Haha I WAS TRYING TO PULL THAT GUY AGGRESSIVELY WITH ALL OF MY EFFORT WHICH WAS WRONG.

[@HillaryFernando]

Hi Roger, I have been fishing for almost 40 years in Sri Lanka and many other countries. Lately I have been watching your videos and tips on KZbin. They are very informative and interesting. Just want to thank you, please continue these fine KZbin videos on your vast knowledge. Thank you !!

[@samiul246]

That's awesome! Great to hear. What area of the coast do you live?

[@samiul246]

Im from mid coast. Not far from Newcastle.

[@robbietownsley697]

just to add to my last comments.Roger, in this country, most guys go fish in surf with big ,big, sticks and try to hit you fella's on the head. you have opened my eyes to beach fishing with less than 14 foot sticks. now i carry less gear around.

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

I have a crook back and neck. I use a 9 or 8 foot rod on the beach with a long pipe. My end eye is still ten foot or so off the beach. But heaps less draining holding it or winding in big fish.

[@kev8646]

@@Alberthoward3right9up How far are you able to cast the 9 footer? I've got one recently and haven't been able to cast it far enough to make for good beach fishing. Not sure if it's my casting skill or the rod! Haha

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

@@kev8646 I use braid with a nylon leader. Also my nine footer has a solid tip. Those two things help greatly i think. But I'd say 50 60 + meters with a decent sized running sinker and a bit of blue bait with two hooks in it. I also put a hitch with two twists over my tail of my bluebait. So it dont get pulled from the hooks during cast and it helps it go a bit further.

[@tzgzz9245]

great info for people just starting out - thankyou... its the little nuances that aren't obvious for beginners so thanks again

[@akcellr8r75]

Hi Roger Osborne. Can you please show us how to secure a bait crab onto a rig. I've heard of using small crabs for bait but never been shown how to use them correctly.

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

Break off a leg put the hook in the hole where the leg broke then thru the belly. And if you want extra security use the leg as a stopper. (Push the barb thru the leg shell and out the other side) gidos fishing adventures uses the for groper if you want a visual

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi, I agree with Albert but I always remove the top shell of the crab to expose the flesh. I tend to use crabs whole, even larger ones because I want to catch big Groper

[@shmukhq4958]

Was just on the northern beach of where you are last week and got stuck into some quality bluespot flathead and salmon just wish I thought of it earlier not on our last day there 😂

[@Garou0410]

Hi. Great video. greetings from Austria 👋

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Awesome, hello to Austria!

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Excellent advice there, thanks Roger. 👍 I’ve noticed another kind of pull on the line: The line pulls sideways, and then go “twang” as it releases. Like someone strumming a guitar string. I think it is seaweed doing that… Am I right?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I think it is just current caused by a wave, seaweed gives a constant pull

Could you please introduce us the techniques of the SABIKI RIG FISHING I like because it allows to catch fish easily for beginners who want to start. Thank you, Mr Osborne.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Gino, Sabiki Rigs have specific applications. I only ever use them to catch small bait fish. I have never used one off the beach

Hi Roger 😊 Just discovered your channel three weeks ago. Thanks for taking the time out to help educate us all on how to catch fish from the beach. I’m going to try the worm rigs you use regularly. Can you let me know what size long shank hooks you use and also on your other video with pilchards what size the little top hook is please. I love the way you make sea fishing more affordable to us by giving us ideas on tubing for beach rod holders and using little gear as possible. Can’t wait to have a go and catch for the family table. ❤

[@transplantinnz2716]

Very helpful, thanks! I was on a pier today, realise now I was trying to set the hook too early, when feeling the nibbles. I kept having my bait picked off, does that mean I had too large of hooks for the situation? Also, when you are keeping the fish to eat how are you dispatching them, bleeding them?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

It depends on the species of fish biting at the pier. The hook could be too big

Great example on the striking part, kudos to the camera man to zoom out so we could see exactly whats going on to the rod.

[@paulredinger5830]

I’ve fished with my finger on the line for over forty years now. Unless I’m using lures of course, but live bait finger on the line. If I’m using a float. I use enough weight to give the float kind of a negative bouncy. So the fish doesn’t feel the weight until he takes the bait, and the float is extremely sensitive showing the tiniest touch. I use small sinker(s) about 12-18 inches above the bait, (I use triple and double bb split shot for this smallest above the bait then slightly larger about six inches apart towards the float) and a heavier weight 6-12 inches below the float to create that negative bouncy. I use a needle to put a tiny amount of an air bubble in the bait to get it above anything like weeds or mossy stuff on the bottom. Water pressure will make the air go out, and the deeper the quicker too. Happy trails!

[@jeffreymorphett]

Love it 🤙

[@robbietownsley697]

roger, please advise on what type of line to use in surf conditions?? i come from old school, mono filiment. my hook up rate is not so hot on surf.

[@Alberthoward3right9up]

I use braid with mono rigs. No stretch and heaps more sensitive bites wise and fun fight. Heaps better casting distance too.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Robbie, I always used mono for decades and caught heaps of fish. I use fluorocarbon leader at the moment but I don't think it makes that much difference. I prefer mono off the beach

[@demzunoplayer]

Recently had my three piece carbon fibre rod stuck together. How am I going to get it apart and into the car? Sterile gloves and two people are needed. The heat can swell the male section. The cold can shrink the female section. Running the stuck joint under a cold tap helps. Don't use hot water, you can wreck the varnish and the binding. Many pages devoted to this on YT. How to prevent this? Even better. Rub a lead pencil on the male section, all around, up and down before you join up the sections. It works a treat. Keeps the sections straight and comes apart without much ado.

Hi Roger thank you for some great beach fishing video/ fishing North Sea beach myself on calm sunny day’s can you tell me what your casting weight is on your 10 feet rod.

The Banjo Ray is edible but you don't get much flesh for the size of the fish = too much waste. Is the Banjo a ray or a shark?

[@talmania1]

Hi Roger, I think you should change the name of your channel to: "The Salmon King", taking into account the fact that you are catching Salmon in most of your videos, lol, you seem to be a Salmon magnet... Also, I would like to ask a question: I live in Israel, and mostly do beach fishing or rock fishing in the Mediterranean, and we have much less fish than in Australia, and different kinds of fish, do you have any advice on how to fish more successfully in the Mediterranean? Best bait? Best Rig? I normally listen to your advice about sunrise and sunset, I either use your methods of "The best Rig in the world", the 3 ganged hooks, or the 2 hooks and a sinker. We used to have beach worms many years ago, no so much in past few years, so I either use a small live fish, caught by float and bread, or frozen bought prawns, or Salted chicken breast, or dried worms, and with not much success! Rock fishing with a float and bread is the most effective and successful fishing method here if I want to go home with a nice meal, but it's mostly small fish, palm size or a bit bigger. Thanks a lot in advance, Eran from Israel.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Eran, It would be helpful if I had an idea of the sort of terrain that you are fishing in. Using berley to attract fish to your location always works very well here. The big thing in locating fish is understanding how and where they feed

[@talmania1]

@@RogerOsborneFishing Thanks a lot for the reply, our beach is mostly sandy and not too deep, it get to 2 meters deep, or 7 feet at about 100 meters from the shore line (about 300 feet) so if I'm casting from the shore or go in a bit, I'll be 2 or 3 meters deep. Not to many rocks on the coast line but there are some rocky areas and plenty of fishing docks (more like paved wave breakers) which will put me In that 100 m spot, and I cast another 80 m approximately. I normally use bread as Berley and I never tried using fish like sardines or mullet as Berley. I think our water's temperature is too high in the summer here in Israel and in the Mediterranean in general, 29 degrees Celsius, which is probably why the big fish aren't coming closer to shore. When I fish near the rocks of the wave breaker I get lots of small fish, sometimes even a red grouper on shrimp or prawns, or big mullet on a floating pita bread trap (10 hooks around the pita bread, no sinker) but to catch the really nice fish like Whiting or bream or bass, it's like a miracle that happens only once in a while, to all the fishermen around here. I can't afford a boat or a canoe, and I love beach fishing, but I sometimes think I should only use my 8 meter plane rod with a float from the rocks, otherwise I'll go Home with no fish. Fishing successfully here is much harder than in Australia, I have loads of professional gear, just not the right ocean.
