I'm Teaching VALUABLE Rock Fishing SKILLS + ( 9 ) Fish!

Rock Fishing BASIC strategy and instruction with plenty of fish action! On this trip I start fishing well after sunrise (8:30 am), what I call gentleman's hours. It just goes to show that you don't have to get up early to catch plenty of fish!
I'll show you everything I do when I'm rock fishing. 🐟✅

[@ashnilsingh]

Before simply breaking off when you get stuck while on with a fish, try releasing some line and often times the fish will release the snag.

[@stevejones9815]

Another thing to do is walking the line 20 metres or so to the left and right and try pulling the line, sometimes that can free the snag or pull the line off the snagged rock.

[@philstrang6907]

I totally agree. A little patience will see the fish release your line 70% of the time when left slack. Especially hood sized fish.

[@secretguyoz2]

You need to know the Mildura flick

[@Sokolemon]

However, in this situation Roger’s second hook was trapped. “The release the line” strategy works really well if the fish swims under the snag, not in this situation. Walking away to the right & left could’ve helped, but pretty obvious he was screwed, and knew it.

[@iainthomson4199]

Think about it so was that fish screwed - left tethered to a snag - single hook, barbless, rotten bottom, lead release etc rig would be more humane, so many bites no need for 2 hooks anyway. You can be a great fisherman to watch other than I find it a bit grim to see so many fish killed in your videos and fish deeply hooked bait fishing on heavy tackle. We have very few salmon left in UK, bass are recovering after a ban on landing, mainly catch and release here now. Fish stocks seem much better in Oz I hope what you all are taking is sustainable but nevertheless it seems a bit old fashioned and less sporting compared to leading anglers like John Fish Locker Henry Gilbey. Standing there with a twitching snapper in your hand after ripping its guts open is not a good look or lesson

[@alberthabib4220]

May I suggest that in you're instructional vid on rock fishing you suggest that people spend a few minutes observing the prospective fishing locations to monitor wave action and when fishing to have an escape route incase of rogue waves. footwear and cleats need to be worn along with a life jacket. fishing with a mate is a good idea and having a good length of rope at hand may come into its own should someone fall or be washed in. the importance of leaving the rock shelf clean/or cleaner than found, especially remove discarded line/hooks etc. just a thought - great vids - love watching you. I've picked up lots of hints.

[@franksaunders6534]

Loving the rock fishing series. A suggestion would be teaching people how to berley effectively and not over berley. I see too many fishermen feeding fish these days instead of liberally berleying and creating an attractive scent in the water.

[@howzit5406]

Floating bait with one circle hook on a mono leader tied to braided line with a fg knot. Let the line float on the water whilst keeping the rod tip low to the waterline. Keep the bail open and with one hand holding the line between your thumb and index finger. When there's a customer, let him run off with the bait and then flick over the bail and slowly raise the rod tip. For the method I prefer mono leader over fluro because you're not running a shock leader, the mono will stretch a bit more than fluro to act similarly on smaller fish

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Howzit, great to hear from you

[@albyhall]

Good show Roger , I fish for snapper off rocks in New Zealand , to avoid fish swallowing the hook , I use circle hooks , that hook the fish in the corner of the mouth, 80%of the time. Saves a lot of undersized fish .

[@HaiFishing]

Another great video, Roger! It would be great to see a video of how to make your long distance casting for snapper rigs!

[@leviborg7348]

G’day Roger would you ever consider doing a luderick video, or even a catch clean and cook

[@Kramerrizz]

Definitely keen to see one about rock fishing safety. Particularly about the different types of pfd's you'd recommend. Cheers for the quality vids

[@666Havers]

You mentioned something that I always look for. I'll jump on google earth before I go and try and find a spot where theres weed beds reef and sand areas. If there's no sand I'll take the sinker off and float the baits down unweighted.

[@gerhardoosthuizen3865]

A big hello from South Africa. I'm 70 and only stated to fish about three years ago. No sea fish but manage to land a few Bass. I just love watching you videos. Regards, Gerhard

[@rl774]

Almost an F bomb when you got snagged😂

[@Mark-ew5jm]

What a great session and some great instruction regarding rock fishing and safety.

[@ernsthorn2788]

I often bring a second rod. It Seems like heavy tackle for the average size of fish. Considering the snags and a good amount of fish bites a single hook would be ok. Still, I find your video very enjoyable. Thanks!

[@duncanhewett394]

Excellent video, i have learnt lots on beach fishing from you and looking to try rock fishing

[@christiandeininger1790]

Definitely going to try rock fishing. I like the way how you explain things, very informative

[@rolexsinday1279]

Good day mate! I'm a fishing fanatic and newly arrived here at NZ and went fishing few times, so it's really fan watching and learning at the same time with your videos. Thanks Heaps mate

[@thesupajake1341]

Hey Roger, have recently gotten into rock fishing myself after years of beach and estuary. The questions Id appreciate learning more about are: When scouting new locations, what do you look for with water depth (what’s a good minimum depth for species like salmon, Bonito, kings) and terrain? Love the content, thanks?

[@eddoherty2497]

good job Roger! I'm in the USA, but, I'm learning quite a lot about ocean fishing. thank you for that. Ed

[@pacman5590]

Understanding the effect of wind on the waves is key in rock fishing. Even when the waves are up and the wind howling, you can often time find a safe place to fish - did it today and managed to bag 3 luderick 🤙

[@MakeAsylumsGre4tAgain]

Thank you for another great video! 🐟

[@galaxyexplorer6189]

It's a lovely scenic spot your fishing.serenity now.😂✌️..a nice big occy leg will attract a big snapper if any around.

[@nikhilmathew2101]

Awesome video as always. As someone who have never rock fished, excited to learn it from you Roger!

[@jmel1000]

Learn to not face your rod upto the sky and pull back so hard like rodger does....

[@myassistants4840]

Please do a video with knowing what the best time and weather, and conditions (tidal, etc)

[@michaelmokotupu7994]

Thank you Roger for a awesome video and the awareness of safety fishing on rocks,loved every minute of it👍

[@AliAhmed-us3ui]

I love your content, keep it up and thanks for sharing your passion 👍🏽 cheers mate

[@RWOSR1]

My favorite type of fish'n Roger! Lov'n every minute of it!

[@grahamrose6111]

Very enjoyable video and also informative best part is the time of day can't beat that

[@fearlessfisher]

Again, you made rock fishing so easy, which means you are professional. Big respect

[@wongfamily6922]

Great Video Roger, keep up the good work and fish on!!!

[@BevanBadcott]

What are the best rock hopper cleats please Roger?

[@2024ASEAN]

Beginners setup rod /reel/ rig etc for rock fishing.

[@XfireWTF]

Great vid! Nice catch!

[@kevinchinnavadu8506]

Great tips especially love the tip of how to get sinker off rocks before reeling in. Going to try that stinger hook rig on my next fishing trip as well

[@aaronyoung5545]

Thanks for all the fantastic and educational videos Roger. I've only recently stumbled across your channel and wish i would have found it ages ago. I'm a very novice fisherman who only gets to fish a couple times a year and generally has no success, i've quickly realised it's mostly down to wrong having the wrong bait and rig for the location. Know that i have a little knowledge i can't wait to go and give it a try.

[@terencephilipstrydom4838]

Great session!

[@eleanorseip2391]

Hi Roger, love watching your videos. I'm in SEQld and I so wish we could get that many fish of that quality in a session here. What a great place to fish!

[@drdeankos2356]

Been a rock fishing angler for 40yrs cliff decend with ropes and using a 18ft rod one of the issues i have seen is that people do not come prepared no water getting into cliff holes that they cannot get back from either tide swell or smiply got into a spot without room to move if caught a big fish when bringging it up there are 100s of ways it is a danger to anglers who are not experienced

[@lwt02]

Awesome video. Top quality info and advice as always.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Appreciate it!

[@mashupjax7101]

Sometimes we all forget that Roger has a cameraman.

[@mafiasyndicate]

As requested Roger. Id like your input on: Rock fishing rules & regulations. Safety (essential vs non essential). How to identify which species frequent the rocks. Equipment (rod, reel, and set up). Tips & tricks you’ve learnt over the years rock fishing.

[@pieterhoekstra9887]

Lear't the hard way many years ago to fish one hook only when fishing reefs unless you're on a boat.

[@dragginmedown]

Good tip. Less is more sometimes

[@zacktoby]

I watched three young men get washed off the rocks and drown on the other side of the bay at Malabar. At the peak of high tide the water conditions underwent a radical change with wave high increasing by a factor of X2 to X3. Half an hour before and after the high tide, water conditions were flat and quite safe. Conditions can change very quickly and you can never take your eye off the water.

[@asankapeiris9987]

fantastic roger,,,,,all the best

[@gino55yo]

Hello Mr Osborne, beautiful video of the edge of the rocks. A pleasure to watch your family video on this Saturday, May 20. Can I use the setup dropper loop rig system with the loops. Do you think it’s effective? Thank you 🙋‍♂️🙂👍💪.

[@abdulrahmanali569]

Hi Roger I starting to watch your videos a few weeks ago, I'm from SULTANATE OF OMAN, and I like fishing too. I like the way you are fishing.

[@johncampbell1618]

Brilliant informative show Roge.Would love for you to instruct us on the secret to snaring the elusive Luderick.

[@kubennaicker6230]

Awesome video Rodger with some lovely fish. Well done. Thank you sharing your knowledge on fishing. Much appreciated. Kuben, South Africa.

Roger, great video safety on rock fishing a definite must ,also how NOT to loose sinkers In rock fishing,also fish species which love to inhabit around rock structure

[@vincentgovender4509]

Awesome love your stile good fish

[@justinconte436]

Hey Rodger! Great video. My suggestion would be to make some videos on luderick fishing off the ocean rocks! I've noticed there is alot of green cabbage bait on the rocks where you are fishing. Would love to see you catch some luderick or drummer.

[@mohamedsamehatalla4603]

Very informative and interesting

[@robertsheedy9811]

Hi Roger enjoyed that vid looking forward to the thai fish cake recipe ,hoping you can do some black fish vids,rock and estuaries ,thanks mate .😀👍

[@ashuraprim6352]

Hello Roger, How are you? You are really good teacher thank you. I actually learn a lot from you. I hope you have a video how to clean your fishing equipment after you finish? And how to put oil in fishing reel ?

[@TonyDon-Fishing-JA]

Respect bro......fish onn ....nice snappers..!

[@krispypata5432]

Great camera work and excellent fishing.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thank you very much!

[@ronmb81]

I would like if you could cover swell and intervals for rock fishing. what would be the ideal conditions as I am some what confused... Cheers Roger

[@howardmurphy8735]

Great stuff Thanks Roger You should visit Namibia some time we got nice fish including missive BREAM. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@idiotbox.]

Rippa Roger, definitely getting some runs on the board there ✌

[@dee1089]

another option is to loosen the line and give it slack hopefully the fish can get the snag out, and then slowly reel it snug not tight and then give it a quick jerk, if not, then yeah gotta break it. very informative vids i must say. would like to see a vid on how to read teh beach areas. etc. especially where theres current. also do you really have to set teh hook that hard? fish are diff down under if so.nm you answered it late in the vid.. makes sense

[@lochfc]

Really appreciate the videos, Roger, especially as an expat who hasn't been fishing in Australia for ages. Brings back all sorts of good memories. Two questions - do you simply despise sweep as most seem to do? When I was a kid my dad and I caught them in the violent white water close in, and enjoyed eating them as well. Related question - do you ever resort to good ole cungy as a bait? Looking forward to a trip to Oz and some beach fishing with my brother!

[@theoriginalwah]

Another great vid. That fish is stuck on a rock now and your spool could do with some line Roge.

[@davedreds5905]

Thanks for the videos, Roger. I'm learning a lot about salt water fishing. I've done a lot of fresh water fishing, but working out the beaches and rocks has been a bit hit and miss. I'm looking forward to heading out next time with some good techniques 👍

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad to help

[@colleenvarlow8764]

Hi Roger, can you talk about needing rock hopper plates, and floats or not, to prevent snags in the rocks

[@andrewcurrie3484]

Like your videos Roger, you always seem to catch a feed. I would like to see the times when you do miss out in a session so the rest of us don’t feel so inadequate lol

[@editsweet101]

Hey Andrew, I'm the video gal and have been since the birth of the channel... and I'll testify that I can count on one hand how many times Roger has caught nothing in a session... haha sorry (not sorry) to disappoint!

[@bpyew]

Shout out to your camera person too, super well made and edited vids as always 👌

[@NoodlesR6]

We call it scratching in South Africa. The 3 main aspects are: Location, Conditions, Bait More likely your sinker got snagged that is why we always use a lighter sinker snoot than the leader

[@stephenweber744]

Hi Roger, have you considered circle hooks, a lot more fish friendly, also when you hooked up while you were on, why didn’t you give slack and let the fish try free you before you broke your line, one more, ever considered fitting a bionic finger, really improves your cast

[@jentwharris]

Great fishing , its sometimes hard here on island as fishing is 24/7 all year long, fish are very, very clever here, so fishermen have be more extra clever to catch anything, I see you already using all the skills we using here on island, and still here it is very hard to catch fish if the sun is up... early morning and getting dark is only good chance to catch fish, but sometimes if there's storms, it brings huge big tree logs and huts from Indonesia and good untrained fishes, which our local fishers will deplete in a week, as mentioned 24/7 is fishing here with no off limits and restrictions restrictions regulations

[@Farmboy1989]

I always use 3 piece fishing rod 2 or 3 hooks when I fishing on the rocks i never ever do that when my hook stuck on the rock with fish on the hook I have to make the line loose so the fish can take the Hooker a way from the rock I love to watching your show

[@SKEPT_OMBAR]

Solid effort mate, i've been really enjoying videos. It would be great to understand the basic profit and loss you have found with your style of fishing. For a new starter its easy to sink a lot of money with little results. It would be great to understand the what the $$ look like after you have mastered the game. ie if you were to buy the fish from a market

[@1ROWDY35]

A trick i use here in Nz to not catch salmon is to actually cut one of them up into bait and use that, snapper love it and the salmon very rarely take their own kind

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

do you prefer mono instead of brade line and why, and what sort of foot wear do you have on the rock fishing o and the fish cake recipe to mate

[@jimhooper9595]

You keep talking about mulloway but I have never seen you catch one. Do you have a video of one. To show us. I watch from Tennessee in the USA. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@michaellentern475]

When you're casting it would be great if you could show an arrow over the screen that shows where the bait has landed. Would be really helpful.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi again, yes in future videos we adopted this suggestion so you will find more recent videos circle where the bait has landed. Very good idea. Cheers

[@tzgzz9245]

1 can you recommend a life jacket for rock fishing? 2 footwear? you're wearing spikes or something? 3 rock fishing at night? 4 do you ever bother with lures off the rocks?

[@geoffmarsh4475]

Made me feel good to see you loose gear 😂. So frustrating when it happens. I felt better about my snag stuff ups and it happens to the pro’s . I picked up a couple of things from your techniques I will adjust in my setups. Australian salmon are way easy to catch but I do not think they good eating other than fish cakes. But I will adjust to see if I can land a few snapper… thank you for the tips.

Hi Roger thanks for all your effort. My question is I loose so many hooks on rocks, should I use a piece of cork close to my hook to keep it of the rocks or should I use a float or something else? Can you please make a video about how not to loose to many hooks while rock fishing.
