*"There’s a half buried bucket on the beach, impersonating a sand spike…"* Sounds like the first line of a police report! 😀 Good improvisation, Roger. 👍

[@kissattila9448]

Hey Roger, great video as usual. I always looking forward your Saturday content. 😊 In your last couple of videos you mentioned that you cought some squid. It would be great if you could dedicate a video or a part of a video on how you catch them. Thanks.

[@lukedoggett4478]

Thanks Roger. Can you do a video on maintenance. Do you wash your gear after every use? Do you strip your reels and clean once a year?. Thanks

[@michaelpaul5498]

Hi Roger and Bec. Thanks for sharing another fishing adventure. I love watching you catch fish. However, I really appreciate the way you explain the beach structure, how the tide is flowing, what the conditions are like and how to prospect for fish. All the tips that you have shared have helped me personally and so many other people to catch fish off the beach. And I am very grateful. Here is a suggestion for the blue bottle problem. I take a pair of wetsuit pants and surf boots with me to the beach because the water in Vic is so cold. Maybe this could help you to avoid being stung. Once again thank you. Kind regards MP

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Sounds like a good idea Michael

G Day Rodger. Been following your interesting videos from the days of you living on the northern beaches.It was plainly obvious some time ago you moved to the beautiful south coast. How we haven't crossed paths up to this point is quite amazing. 50 years of what was once priority to surfing with fishing on the odd day in this truly special area, to now more fishing than surfing as the years have worn out body parts! It's with total respect for you the way you handled the identity of the areas you fish. It's probably from the old days of secret surf spots that made me shudder when I know exactly where you are fishing in many (if not all your videos). Im happy to share all the areas I fish, but there are times (holiday periods ) that I personally go into hiding and wait for quite times. As for the hours spent chasing the elusive Jew fish ? Join the club! like you, small soapies are about, but that 20kg + brute just never seems play to my plans. Again thanks for your efforts you put into presenting your videos , I find them very enjoyable. PS There is one sneaking little bolthole that I can call up some superb Drummer that I don't share with other anglers! Sorry

[@johnwarden4645]

Well said bro

[@jhdebeer1970]

Just found your channel. So glad I did! I love fishing but never really learned how to. Nobody in my family did so no dad or uncle to learn me the ropes. I’m in my fifties now and I’m going to give it another go, armed with great videos from my “new fishing buddy in my pocket”! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I’m sure most will be applicable where I live, Cape Town, South Africa.

Just a thought, I fish at collaroy beach and blue bottles can be a hastle, i carry an old tracksuit bottom and an old pair of thick socks with my pants tucked into the socks. Now im not getting stung and stand in the water with confidence. As i said, just a thought. I always keep them in the boot of the car in case

[@adrianianna2868]

I lived in Bondi a while ago & was very suprised to catch so much on Bondi beach. The best was 6 species one evening on a rising tide. Just make sure the surfers have left first! I saw an old guy get a HUGE jewie & be annoyed as he just wanted some time out & now he had to go home , clean the fish & watch tele with wife, Grumpy old bugger.

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Classic, great to hear.

[@karenmoreira7686]

Hi Roger, we had besides the bluebottles to avoid, blue dragons as well

[@geoffbarnes9175]

Another great video with great fish. Do them in never fail batter!! I have found vinegar helps with blue bottles. One thing I like about the beach is the happy people. I have only ever found one, an English lady who berated me on Pottsville Beach for fishing on sacred ground!!. Your tip about skinning squid has helped with whiting and bream bites. Thank you.

Another great video Roger, I’m hanging out to get back down to the beach and apply your tips. Question: how many different reel/rod combos do you have? Just that I’ve noticed several different line setups. Also, would you consider a squid catching video? Would be keen to get tips on that, how and where.

[@rodgray6438]

Liking all your content Roger keep up the great work, isn't there something you can wear to protect yourself from the little buggers ?

[@georgemiller2396]

Hey Roger warn folks about wading too deep I had a couple run ins with shark where common, they might go on the menu for the evening.... Just a thought.. but on CAPE COD USA it has guite a possibility due to an unprecedented increase in grey seal population..... By the way your show is the possibly most enjoyable fishing show going in the USA market, probably because of your relaxed knowledgeable demeanor and Australia's clean beautiful nature. Exotic yet familiar.the beauty of your continent is amazing I am sort of surprised your government hasn't realized your venue would really increase adventure tourism fishing . I can't imagine them not comprehending that especially those who need to relax ... I think it would be a real draw💲💲💲💲💲💲I neglected to mention bull sharks I have seen those cruise beaches in the middle of the day virtually on the beach .

[@9-1-juan6]

Another good and much needed video (since I am not a morning person casting out at dawn)! I find especially helpful how you mark the spots where you cast! Wearing tabis (felt or rubber bottom neoprene booties) should take care of any 'jellies' concerns.

[@danieljans222]

Thanks Roger, absolutely love the videos. Learning new things every time I watch. I’m on the Gold Coast, and I must say the hardest thing I find is dealing with the swell. Every time I watch you fish you hardly have any waves you have to battle against. Any advice? Thanks mate, keep posting!

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

I often choose places that are protected from the prevailing swell, or I wait until the swell is 1m or less. It would be a bit harder on the Gold Coast because you have long stretches of beach. I would fish the southern ends of your beaches near the headlands.

[@SamanthaBendut]

[@lrgrantham]

Great vid Roger as usual! 💙 I fished Windang beach last weekend on the new moon, terrible conditions with the wind and the blue bottles. Worked hard for 1 bream and 2 whiting. Anyway was wondering do you think that the blue bottles put the beach worms off? I couldn’t raise 1 worm in amongst all those stingers. Normally I get worms on this beach especially in the new moon phase where you get an extra metre of beach to worm on. Your thoughts would be appreciated. 👍

[@Danny-rg4ii]

Great video as normal Roger. Thnx👍💯🙌

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@anglinguntangled]

Good stuff as usual Roger. Just a heads up though that it might end in heartbreak using ganged hooks to target mulloway. Have had one occasion of landing a mulloway and the bottom two gangs were gone, and another where the fish was lost and again still had the top hook left. I think they are able to spread the eyes on the hooks as they pop their mouths trying to shake free. Much better to go a snelled rig

[@RogerOsborneFishing]

Thanks for the info

Hey Roger love your content. A couple of quick questions. When your secondary rod is in the rod holder how loose should you set the drag? Also when a large fish comes and bites or starts to take line on the secondary rod, should you tighten your drag and then strike or strike immediately?

Hey Roger, love your work. I heard in this video what your smaller setup was, but can you please tell me what size rod & reel you are using on the larger setup? I recently picked up a 12’ three piece rod, and want to pair it with the right sized reel for some larger species off the beach 🐟
