VALUABLE Beach Fishing INSIGHTS to find the Fish!

[@alistairmills7608]

Best beach fishing mentor on the planet. Beach fishing is relaxing, grounding, connection, awesome environment, ionic tide line zone, collecting sunshine and vitamin D3, movement, food providing, mentally challenging and can be exhilarating

[@TheMarkus6275]

I love it when Roger puts the timer up! I get all excited 😂

[@dakotakavana]

Bob ross of fishing the Roger Osborne 🐐

[@Mark-ew5jm]

I say it every video Roger….so instructional and educational. What a great session. Looking forward to your catch and cook video. Thanks for sharing.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Mark 👍

[@liquidsofa]

16:00 Us sailors have a little rhyme to teach reading water. Brown, brown, run aground. White, white you just might. Green, green, nice and clean. Blue, blue, sail on through. I also look for the colour of the water to see where the wind is. When you look out over water, you can see dull dark-coloured areas, and you can see areas with lighter colour and they shimmer in the light. The dull is where the wind is disturbing the surface of the water, the shimmer is where the tops of the sine waves are neat, therefore no wind. The light will shimmer off neat water. To remember it, if you were to align a flat mirror with the sun, you can focus a beam in one direction (depending on the angle you choose), but if you have a disco mirror ball, you cannot focus the beam of light. It shines everywhere at once. The neat sine waves are the disco ball, therefore you see the shimmer no matter where you are standing.

[@peteroshannessy8927]

So pleasant not to have the over-hype of many fishing channels with their yells, authoritative speak, massive excitement etc.

[@jhdebeer1970]

Agreed!

[@seanwright8573]

A Big Hello Came across your channel when researching reel fixes Now Roger "I am HoOKED" What a magic straight forward look into fishing basic in true reality No pomp and whistles clear and educational Thumbs up to you Roger and i know i will not ever get bored of your fishing segments 👍👍👍 By the way What a good reason to do lots of fishing Lucky you lol Sean

[@iqbalmahomed7097]

Hi Roger! Always enjoy your videos from here in South Africa. Been a fishing enthusiast for years. Unable to fish now due to old age. Watching you I still do vicarious fishing from the comfort of my home. Thank you very much.

[@daviddarwin5677]

Hi Roger. I take onboard so much of what you have to say and really it’s just common sense as long as you think like a fish ! You make it look so easy so keep it coming. Thanks.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks David, I am really enjoying making the videos and especially how they are helping people.

[@richardhatherly7987]

Hi Roger, Richard here we spoke that day , you had a good session as well I ended up with 3 big salmon & 3 whiting. its such a good beach. see you on the beaches 👍

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

G,day Richard, good to see you, it is a great beach to fish

[@SuperBushboy1]

Hi Roger, got rid of my boat. So I will concentrate on beach fishing for a while. Is this 7 mile Beach near the Shoalhaven? ​@@RogerOsborneFishing

[@pigsandapples]

Great work mate. Your appreciation of the whole experience of fishing shines through - you put into words what a lot of us feel when we're out there. Also people new to fishing would be inspired to take it up in good spirit. Thanks.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks mate, I appreciate your feedback

[@PEG8827]

Great video. So relaxing just watching you. Very educational. Thank you Roger!

[@markrichardson2508]

Just thought I’d let you know I caught a 78cm estuary cod on the world’s deadliest rig with a pilchard last weekend thanks mate👌

[@haydos781]

Brilliantly entertaining as always Roger, I think everyone leaned something out of that

[@markmay184]

Another great vid. I have found over the years is like you experienced, that you get few bites/fish in places where you are battling strong sweep/drift/current. My theory is that fish don’t congregate in those areas because they need to expend too much energy to hold position and feed.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Mark, I agree with you. I think the fish try to avoid the current except when they want to travel somewhere.

[@markmay184]

Pretty much the only odd fish I’ve been able to catch in those conditions has been the odd flathead. When I have “followed” my bait down the beach, with the current. A bit like fishing on the drift from a boat - just not as productive 😀

[@spyburn007]

As a Sydneysiders, I struggle to find a beach with no people on it like this one. Biggest problem I have is other people!

[@robmarshall956]

That’s why we don’t want Roger telling people where he fishes ) because before you know it every Tom dick and harry is at our local spots. We moved here because we do not want to fish a crowded beach.

[@pauldhughes]

I know the feeling 😅

[@selvin4747]

Always awesome videos, thank you Roger for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom. Your a Aussie legend and an inspiration

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I appreciate that, thanks.

[@lunadailylife88]

Love seeing your garden flourish! 🌻

[@lochfc]

Instructive and enjoyable! Thanks once again. Can you do something on how to use crab as a bait? I've always just found them a nuisance taking the bait, but clearly I have something to learn there-

[@Deeinqld]

Hat Head, South West Rocks and Stuart’s Point has great spots

[@Deeinqld]

Love beach fishing - a whole new aspect to my fishing. Thanks for the awesome tips and guidelines Roger Blessings

Hey Roger, really looking forward to the cook up videos.

[@paintitblack6728]

What a great day of fishing. My mouth is salivating knowing how good that catch will taste. another terrific vid thanks Roger thumbs up.

Hi Roger, would love to see you do an episode in Windang.

You are very welcome Michael!

Awesome video! Kudos to your camera person! Wife right? Love your beach fishing info. PA in USA. Australia is beautiful!

[@robertatwood1900]

Great vid Roger, if I can't get out, your Sunday sessions make me feel as though I did.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Good to hear

[@VuTubeShorts]

I laughed when he flicked the flatty 😂

[@seeweed70]

had your stuff come up killing time on a shift change night. cant wait to get home and try a bit of surf fishing. not normaly a fisho but you got me keen again

[@donald6688]

Fantastic Roger! Wondering what your keepbag looks like😅?

[@lisamariri9387]

When I'm fishing tailor and using a larger star sinker those fishing beads are too small and go through the eye of sinker. So I use larger threading beads from my daughters art's and craft kit. Works a treat

[@geoffbarnes9175]

This video was one of your very best!! Well done Roger. I was a cricketer and my mates at Wauchope were surfers. I got on a board in the Hastings River in 1964 and promptly went over the other side. Ruined my watch. I loved body surfing though. Were you a competition surfer or just roamed around? As for instructions, particularly current, where were you 40 years ago!!!

[@planet1hunter128]

Always such valuable advice and excellent footage for another enjoyable video.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks again!

[@mariobotakis]

Evening Roger, quick question, what reel is on the Makuiro Rod 3:42 Rod? Love your vids mate Cheers

[@timrowles6587]

G'day Roger, great vid as always. That little indentation on the first bream you caught looks a lot like Saddleback Syndrome, we see it semi regularly up here around South East QLD. Be interesting to see if you notice it on any other bream you catch in the area. As far as I know, no definite cause is known but usually its thought to be linked to sewerage or some sort of water pollution. Could be wrong and It may just be scarring like you said, but keep an eye out for it!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Tim, yes, I have caught a few other Bream like that

[@davetommy351]

Blowing it's arse off here on the sunshine coast really want to go beach fishing all rigged up ready to go at least I can watch your videos Roger awesome man thanks

[@WilsonStrother]

Another great video. Just shows how important location recognition is.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, very much so.

[@jeffmcdonald101]

Cracking session! Nice one mate. Funny you mention the mulloway near Port. Born and bred there and I get about 10-15 15kg+ mulloway a year in the area. As you said up near Southwest Rocks and Crescent Head are really great spots. South of Port near Harrington area is great too.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Jeff, it's a great area for fishing.

[@briansoobramoney423]

Some good catches 👍 just be moving along the beach great stuff

[@danssv8]

Nice session Roger

[@blacklabel810]

Your enthusiasm for fishing mania is great, I am very happy to see your video,💪👍

[@duncanhewett394]

Great video, it was interesting that similar looking spots were not the same under the water, so prospecting was key

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Duncan, yes it was. We are always learning. I really enjoy that aspect of fishing

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

Great video Roger. Re the shoes, I bought a pair at the end of last summer. I've only used them this summer and the velcro is coming off already. The stitching wasnt great. Other than that I agree they are super comfy...

[@cobaltgaming948]

Great content again Roger. When waiting for a bite could you please make sure the rod tip is showing. Nothing like seeing that tip bring nibbled. Keep up the great footage, a credit to you both.

[@alistairmills7608]

I know I can find the gutters by eye but Roger have you ever mucked about with an aerial drone above to spot the optimal deep holes and get a different perspective Roger ?

[@fishmut]

Been a good lesson for me Roger , I used to find a gutter and sit there in the hope I might hook up wasting lots of productive fishing time , I should have known better , in the future I’ll be in hunting mode lol , table fish are fantastic , any chance of a video on catching mullet off the beach I’m not sure on how to go about that or if it’s possible, anyway great video Roger , thank you for sharing your fantastic fishing videos.👍

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

My pleasure fishmut

[@michaelbower6505]

Merry Christmas Roger, blessings to you and your family✝️

[@johnkeynes8873]

Thanks again Roger another great video even though our landbased whiting fishing is quite different but we are still able to implement some of your ideas tight lines. 😊

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks 👍

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

Fish tacos - now there's something I could sink my teeth into! Have you tried them with salmon? Fantastic beach Wairo - been a while since I fished there though! Dart are ok to eat - i reckon they taste a bit like tailor . Fantastic video as usual Roger!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Ian, Pretty sure we have had Salmon in fish tacos but either way it would be good. We made some the other night, they were so good I have to do it again

[@ianbertenshaw4350]

I look forward to it !

[@stevebrydie7219]

Hey roger, I’m loving these vids. I’ve been beach fishing for 30+ years but I’m still learning so thank you for that. One suggestion for a future video, tell people why you lift one leg on an approaching wave. I know why but it’s probably a great little tip for beginners. Cheers mate, Steve B

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks Steve, I will remember to mention that.

[@waqarjaffery6209]

Is any good around Jervis bay, please advise, thanks

[@moonlitpearl700]

I love these recipes! What a nice variety of tastes. I cannot wait to make the pot sticker one for my family! Thank you❤😊 New subscriber

[@fishontherod]

Great video. Question - Do Salmon school in similar size group i.e. small fish school together and vica versa, or do they mix small fish with large fish?

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Good question, Adrian. Yes, the Salmon school is usually a mix of small and large fish. What happens to me quite often; I’ll be fishing with bait (Pilchards), and be catching only small Salomon, because the small ones always get to the bait first. Then when I switch to a metal lure, and retrieve it nice and fast, I catch the biggest Salmon of the day in exactly the same spot! Note: This does not mean that you should only fish with a lure, it is always good to start with bait fishing to first attract the fish to your location, and to get them on the bite.

[@emCEEoh]

Just found your videos. Very enjoyable and informative. Thanks.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad you like them!

[@Paul-L125]

😁 Plenty of fish in the sea 🎣 Nice feed again 🙂

Awesome vid as asual ! Looking forward to the catch n cook taco edition :)

[@owellhenry703]

Thanks for the teaching moments

[@Kiduk90]

Been finding a lot of beaches around Sydney recently that ive been to have no structure. Its just one uniform wave coming in. When this happens do i fish the ends of the beach?

[@dragginmedown]

Near rocks prob better

[@pulsevlog]

Hi Roger, so when you go off camera to put a catch in your "keeper bag" do you dispatch the fish and or bleed it? Also what kind of bag is the "keeper bag"?

[@dariosotherradio]

In California we have pile worms. They look about the same. Big pincers on the mouth? They grow up to about 20cm.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Okay, are they good for bait?

[@dariosotherradio]

Great bait!@@RogerOsborneFishing

[@Angler233]

Great fishing session Roger. It seemed many of those fish didnt fight very hard. At times you were not confident you had a fish on, or two for that matter. Is that common for those species or why do you think so? Ta

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I'm not sure. Sometimes the fish swim towards you and then fight more closer to the shore. Also, small fish are hard to detect if you catch them on a heavier line.

[@stevenhughes2802]

hi Roger, I hope you are well.i was wondering how does one use the drag control/spool release on the reel,when is it a good time to open or close it up?will be nice to see a video on

[@progdeelite]

why don't you use sandbugs alternativelly to worms? they are awesome for pampano. didn't see you catching sand bugs yet. are they not that common in australia?

[@johnbolivar9902]

Hey roger love your videos Would it be possible to circle where your cast is actually landing

[@TheStonefly]

Thanks for the insights into sea fishing in Australia. I'm a brit visiting relatives on the coast in the Thirroul area NSW in 2 weeks. I've bait dug/collected extensively in the UK but never hand picked beach worms the way you guys do.... and that's my first goal. Really looking forward to wetting a line and putting into practice what I've learned from you. Any tips on this area, beaches to visit etc? Best regards, keep the vids coming!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Hi Stonefly, All of the beaches are good, the main factor is the prevailing weather conditions

[@TheStonefly]

@RogerOsborneFishing thanks matey, hope to see you on the beach. Best regards

So the star sinker would be fine for 6 pound for whitting ? I have a 7” 3-5kg spin for whitting . And enquiring about the star sinker if that will be good .

[@chrisdoran7596]

Whiting can command a higher price at market than coral trout.🙂👍🎣

[@PHILL7800]

Hi Roger, I’ve noticed you don’t seem to carry an eski when you fish. How long do you think the fish can last unrefrigerated, I’m always concerned about fish going off if I don’t use them.

[@markmontie6695]

very handy video for families which can only really venture out during the day! side question, can worms be caught at Burrill Beach?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Yes, absolutely

[@asherhoenders7379]

Hello, what rig are you using?

[@sempei58]

for the novices are you able to show the set up of your rig. Also how do you determine the size of sinkers with the current and waves. thanks

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Ok will do

[@Jake23S]

Hi Roger Love the videos! I would love to know what weight the 12 foot taipan is? Is it 5-9kg. I have a 10ft Penn Prevail 8-15kg and wondering if it would be suitable for bait fishing off the beach?

[@ayymeraim5842]

Hey Roger, been experimenting with some of the rigs you use, what kind of hook and weight were you running this time?

[@bruce1875]

Great video Rodger. Curios though, where do you keep the fish you catch when you're on the beach?

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I am usually there for a short time. I bleed them and keep them in my bucket

[@Johan-ex5yj]

Good idea to cast right on the edge of the sandbar. 👍 Like near the bank of a river, the current should be weaker in that location. This is also most likely where the fish will be, because they don’t want to waste all their energy swimming against the current in the middle of the trough.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Very true

[@denisebeaman4453]

Hi Roger, would like to know what type of rig you have on.

Roger, do you carry ice and an esky on your beach fishing trips especially for oily fish like tailor and salmon? It can be alot to lug around up and down the beach.

Not usually. I generally only fish for an hour or so

@@jb-es5zj I get that, but he is talking about targeting a specific spot and even going frame by frame can't work out where it's landing, an occasional arrow or line for the region he is aiming for would be very helpful
