Great video mate
Very very helpful thanks heaps
Who else is watching this amazing vid in 2024 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Charlie
Yep
I am watching from South Africa. Checked most of Roger's videos.
S. Florida
If you want to improve your overall fishing skills finding time to watch this channel is a must, decades of knowledge from an exceptional angler, I couldn't be more thankfull Roger, much obliged.
I second this. His info is always very informative and well laid out.
Thanks for that! A.J
Brilliant as always, Sir! Keep it up.
These videos are invaluable!!!
Obrigado pela aula . Grandes expectativas pronto para por em prática .
Thanks Roger next time I will be following your tips
Love every one of your videos, especially this new series. As someone pretty new to fishing and beach fishing especially, your content has helped me learn so much! Can't wait for the next vid
Thanks Ellie, much appreciated. Many more videos in the pipeline :)
Fantastic Rog straight to the point without the fake ‘laughing’ commentary that certain ex footy players inflict us with
That is very informative as usual... Thank you, Roger!
Very welcome
Welcome back Roger. Another awesome video. Thanks
Thank you kindly
Great to see your latest video Roger, thank you. Love to see some further fish specific rod, reel, rig, bait, surf location tutorials. Absolutely love your content 👍
OK thanks for the suggestion.
Another great video Roger!
Thanks heaps and please keep them coming.
I have learnt a lot from you over the past few months and finally had the chance to put it into practice over Christmas which saw me catch a lot of Salmon and flathead off the south coast (Ulladulla/Bawley point area).
Up until now I’ve never really had much luck fishing!
Thanks again Roger, really appreciate all your hard work filming and putting these videos together.
Great to hear!
Amazing, here I was thinking the heavier bait I had on , the lighter sinker I would need! Thanks mate, will do the opposite of what I have been doing now !
The usual top standard - feedback from one fisho to another. Keep up the great vlogs!
Thanks 👍 much appreciated.
Good wishes for your health Roger 👍
Great coverage, thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Roger
Thank you for the tutorial. 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Please make some more of this series 👌👌
Another helpful video thanks roger! I was watching your videos a while before I came to Australia still watching and still learning but mate I just can’t stop fishing here I love it. Off to putty beach early this morning with my 10ft rod, about to sit down and get some rigs made up. Bait will be mullet fillets with some large squid to use whole on mulloway rig or in strips. Been catching lots of different species of fish thanks to your broad variety of videos with all things thought of, appreciate your time and effort really goes along way. A lot of over fishing going on in popular spots like Avoca beach rocks on a Saturday morning becoming concerning with how many lost rigs are down there and what it actually looks like down there. Video of the life under the waves be cool 👍🇦🇺
I need you to please upload more often!!!!!
Brilliant info, and you present in a way that's easy to understand what & why!!!
Thanks Alison
2021 is definitely the year of more fishing mate !
Luv ya work mate, I appreciate your knowledge. thanks for another video. Cheers
My pleasure
Very helpful highly appreciated.I learned a couple of the things thank you.👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Hey I'm a beginner angler and really much enjoying your videos. I've learned a lot from them. You are not just telling ppl what gears they're gonna use but also you explain the theories/logics behind them. Really appreciate the way you do it. Thank you.
Thanks Z, Glad you like them and are learning :)
Love my surf fishing. Absolutely on point Roger.
I love a good star sinker on a double paternoster here on NSW South Coast as well.
That said, I do love the barrel sinkers from flathead depending on conditions.
Thanks Malu, all the best.
I was blind but now I see. This information is gold, thanks Roger.
Thanks john.
This is very helpful video.Being new angler i was a bit confused about sinkers.
I will surely try soon.
Thank you soo much sir 🙏
You are most welcome
Thank you. Concise and informative. I’ve always been nervous about pyramid sinkers, thinking I won’t feel the bites. But as you say, it’s no fun having your rig washed down the beach.
You're welcome!
Hello, I've only just subscribed but the info you share is magic to me, yes I have fished on & off for many a year, now I have moved to a sea change place (now retired) with a river, large bay/ port & very long beach, have a 4wd for beach access, yes I will be fishing much more, beach & the river / port from my tinny. Thanks for your help as it has inspired me again.
Awesome, thank you!
I'm with you my always go too sinker is star sinker I use it everything from whiting up to jewy baits love all your videos very very informative thankyou ron
Awesome! Thank you!
Absolute legend mate! I'm 36 yrs old and only just falling in love with fishing now! I have used a kmart rod once or twice before at fraser island with absolutely no idea. I threw it in the bin and now have 3x proper rod and reel combos i have set up and can't wait to use them! You have very informative clear and concise advice. Subscribed and liked. Cheers mate and keep the vids coming! Looking forward to a beach fishing with lures video 👍
Great to hear! Thanks for your encouragement.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for great information 😊
My pleasure 😊
Good information thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Roger!
You're welcome Wilson.
Cheers Mate!
Very helpful 👌
Glad you think so!
Awesome info💯
Glad you think so!
Nice video very helpful 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
absolutely helpful. specially for me who’s 33 year old and just started fishing. By the way, i just caught a salmon here in WA with the help of your vids mate. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That is awesome!
Great video Roger. One sinker you overlooked is the spoon sinker. Very common here in Western Australia. They are aerodynamic for casting and also don't roll across the sand like a star sinker. Usually not as heavy too. I have mainly used spoon sinkers for beach fishing and found they work up to a point. Once the conditions get rough, they tend to get pushed around and you need the star sinker. Also, you can't really set up a spoon sinker as a running sinking. I learnt something with your idea on using a star sinker in a running setup. Very cool idea. I am going to try this one out. Thanks for the great tips. Keep the videos coming!
a spoon sinker is for rough ground... they're made that shape so that they plane to the surface as soon as you start winding in. They are excellent for this purpose but almost useless in any sort of current and I personally can't see any reason that you would want to use one off a beach.
Fantastic video mate. Cheers
Many thanks!
Would love to see a video on best fish to go for in each state of Australia!
Thanks great video. Would love a video on ‘when to strike’ different fish 😊😊
Great suggestion!
Hi Roger. I have watched this video and many others of yours several times. I decided to make a comment on this one. I am, as we say in Queensland " Blessed" because we have Moreton and Frazer Islands. Beach fishing heaven! I have been using the Grapnel style sinkers for about 4 years now and let me say, they are "Insanely Good" at holding ground in rough surf conditions. When I decide to reel in to check my bait, I have to struggle to break them free of the sand bottom. I use 20 and 25 lb line on my reels and sometimes I am concerned that I will break the line trying to dislodge the sinker from the sand. Many times I find the stainless wires have been rotated out of the locating slots on the side of the sinker, proof they were anchored firmly. I am about to try the pulley rig system when I head over to Moreton next month for 2 weeks, I'll let you know how it goes, maybe you use this system also? Any vids on pulley rig systems?
I thoroughly enjoy your videos mate! Keep them coming.
Great video Roger, as usual it was very informative. What weight range rod would be best for heavier sinkers fishing for mulloway? Cheers
Good info
Thanks
Superb 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just found your channel and have liked at least 50 videos. First comment. You left out spoon sinker. Great for getting out of rock crevices like the barrel/torpedo but can plane above weed
covering ground reaching more fish definitely more important for many and often fish are feeding very close but reaching spots can be essential. I still like my overhards after fifty years. even with half ounce or an ounce for whiting with a forty plus year old ABU or Daiwa millionaire great for casting metal lures too. not for fishing pillies. The use of overheads almost rare these days. I often use light gear and a threadline too great fun.
hi robbie that trout cod must have thought it hit the Jack pot all those worms cool crays and video 😅
Someone got a sponsor?? Good stuff loved the info thank you
Helpful.
Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
Glad it was helpful!
Would love for you to talk more about how certain weather conditions affect surf conditions. Example, Onshore vs offshore winds and how it affects wave heights, currents etc, best fish and times to target during these weather conditions etc. Would help in also helping 'read a beach'
Have you seen my 2 videos on How To Read A Beach?
Hi Rodger , I have just come across your videos and have had countless hours of lost sleep , Thanks , I have noticed that you mainly show and talk about side-cast and thread-line reels . since the age of 10 , I have grown and been taught by my dad in the use of overhead reels . I would love to hear what you think of these reels . and of todays video , I constantly use tear drop sinkers or the old snapper leads. the rest of your video's are definitely worth while watching , Thanks
Hi Richard, thanks for your comment. I have owned and used overhead reels many times, mainly for deep sea fishing. They are excellent for land based distance casting and are popular with many Snapper fishermen.
Thank you now i just need to know a correct way to cast being a female with disability i have trouble casting out good distance so i will look through your vids for hints and tips. Thank you again
Hi Roger, when you have time could you please do a tutorial video or series on beach fishing using lures?
Love you content!
Will do
Hi Roger, great presentation again. Would you pls do a Rods & Reels for surf fishing. I'm just getting into light surf fishing in my senior phase of life. The only thing l've caught is salt and sunburn 👀. Cheers, mate from an Aussie subbie.
Thanks Joel, I plan to do Rods and Reels soon.
Good day mate from Southern California your type of fishing is a lot different than Southern California have you tried using flat sliding sinkers
hi i been fishing in jarvis bay for over a year with grandson from beach never caught a fish yet tryed all your rigs still no luck will keep trying one day mite get one
Hi John. Fish the beaches outside of the bay. Jervis Bay is more like a harbor. Try fishing the beaches around Sussex Inlet.
Great video, thanks!
Do you find the star sinker to snag alot and lose your rig?
Not at all
I have a request for a video. Can you please do another salmon fishing video, me and my dad are going to go salmon fishing soon and we don't know much about it and usually can't catch much. Love your videos ❤️
Hey Buddy, you don't need another Salmon video. Everything you need to know is in the first one. Cheers
hi roger what sinker do you use on your stinger rig
Sir!
Thank you very much for those wonderful information about fishing in the beach.
How about fishing in the rocks it’s same like beach fishing?
Thanks mate. I've probably done even more rock fishing than beach fishing, and it's going to be part of another series of videos at some point in the near future
Thanks mate I will check all your videos.
I am learning a lot from you and I hope in the future more video from your mate 👍🏻
Definetly need some rock fishing vids 💯
Hi Rodger, lover your RUclips training, whats your thoughts on using a drone to take your line out?
Hi Nigel, I'm not that motivated to do it. I guess I am a bit old school.
In my rod mentioned casting weight 20 to 60g what's the size sinker I can use. Is Number 3 sinker ok or kills?
6:00 Aerodynamic,,,good point,,,I use a torpedo shape sinker rather than star sinker in surf to get bait closer to where I want it...Goes againest popular thinkin,, but,,I believe in results
Thanks Philip
Awesome videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. So my question is, what’s the quickest and best way to kill a fish. Cheers.
There may be a faster way, I just cut their throat, they bleed out fairly quickly.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge Roger . What area are you based in . Cheers Jim
Ulladulla NSW South Coast
I need this! My bait always get swept around in the surf.
I hope the video helped!
Hi mate love your videos but just a tip if I was fishing in a boat is going near the floaters a good idea like the red and yellow floaters?
Hi Idris, what do you mean by the red and yellow floaters?
With 30lb plus goin for bigger fish do you prefer flouro mainline or braid
I’ve used heavy sinkers against strong inland wind the kind that blows particles of seawater into my face … at best the sinker will be suspended in mid air and drop mid way or even back onto the beach … the way I look at it the line was being blown by the wind and as the longer it spooled out, the more resistance it gets and no matter how balanced my gear was, I’d pack up and called it a day … the weather won …
Which sinker matching on coral reefs. Duo to I usallly fishing 🎣 on shore in gulf area but so many struggling there Seeking you advice Moreover once I get fish 🐠 I hanging on the reefs
🙏🏽
Great video u helped me and my dad catch fish last weekend. But what do u think the limit is for the height of the surf
Hi Sebway, the limit for me is about 2m, although if you can find a location that is protected from the swell you can still fish in big surf.
@@RogerOsborneFishing thank you so much. I was also wondering what I should do if I cant find a gutter, any advice?
@@sebwaymaster3038 If you can’t find a gutter, if the water is deep fish close to shore. If the waves are breaking right on the shores edge you can fish only 10m or so out.
@@RogerOsborneFishing thank you keep up the good work
In June and July sea is very rough, govt puts a ban on deep sea fishing only option left is beach fishing, please give some tips for beach fishing when the water is really rough.
From Karachi Pakistan.
What about pulley rigs.
Hi sir, is graphite or carbon rods can be use heavy weight sinker for surf fishing?thanks
Yes you can
How about in choosing the right tides, like incoming verses outgoing. How does this affect the decision making process?
Hi Don, I have a video on that, look on my channel 😃
Great videos Roger! Are there any conditions that make the beaches in Sydney un-fishable? I tried fishing during a NE wind & swell, and the sinker just couldn't hold bottom.
In a Northerly breeeze fish the corner at the northern end of a beach or a beach that faces south. Do the opposite in a southerly breeze. Eg long Reef in a North Easter. Collaroy in a Southerly. :)
@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks!
Live 7pm tomorrow night 🥳🥳🥳
Roger I Recently watched a video of you whiting fishing using a 2hook rig which seemed to have the sinker between the hooks. Not a normal pater noster rig
Was I correct and if so could you show me this rig please
Yes, in this case the sinker was between the 2 hooks. There are various ways that you can set up.
I will consider going into more detail in my next Beach Fishing video
Hi Roger, I read somewhere your rig weight should be in the upper half of the range for the ideal lure weight marked on the rod. What are our thoughts?
Hi Michael, I have not heard that before. I just go by what feels right when you cast.
Great video 👍👍 what is your opinion about fluorocarbon lines? Is it necessary? Because I see you don't use them. Greetings from Greece.
Hi Pheonix, Yes I use Flurocarbon as a leader and monofilament for the main line. On some of my light lines I use straight Flurocarbon. What do you use?
@@RogerOsborneFishing my friend i use monofilament as a main line (0.25mm), mono shock leader (0.60mm) and fluorocarbon terminal (0.20mm) with a running rig.
I've born as a fisherman.
Just watching this videos, for laugh, because it's to cold on my neck of the woods for amateur fishing now.
Most of the time, they even aggravate me with they're stupid opinions or discovering fishing tactics, like their can read the
fishes thought (FISH HAVE ONE OF THE MOST ELEMENTARY NERVIOUS SISTEM) and like you said THEY'RE JUST HUNGRY!!!!!
All your explanation, (like mine) is based on experience
Grate and honest video, based on true experience.
Pl do give link of your previous talk for easy reference
OK SVK 👍
👍🏽

From Mr Thomas Schmutter Bigger Sinkers means bigger kind and, bigger bait for bigger fish shark lubbstar and prawns and fresh fresh seafood 🍣.
Hi sir, what rod action do you recommend for surf fishing, heavy or medium?thanks
Kabalen, it depends on what fish you are targeting. I would go medium for an allround rod.
Given that it is unlikely to snag off the beach (with exception of weed/kelp heavy beaches), is having a lighter trace even worth doing?
Also, if I don't know the strength of my reel line because I bought it years ago and forgot, should I respool the reel with 15kg line? It's a large 12ft beach fishing rod and I intend to use star sinkers as you have shown.
Hi Buddy, Yes, you don't need a light trace unless you are fishing for Whiting. You should replace your line as monofilament deteriorates over time. What size/model is your reel?
@@RogerOsborneFishing I don't know. Haha.
@@RogerOsborneFishing i had a look, it is a Shimano 6000 FB. For my son, I have a 2500 FB on a 6ft rod. He's only 7, so that's as big a rod as he can handle right now.
For heavy rigs Save your cash and use old car wheel lug nuts and other random heavy brass or copper parts from your junk crate. Even old broken heavy duty lead battery terminals.
Good self sufficient info
Spark plugs sinkers too! 🎣
Are beach worms only found on the east coast🎉
The weather should be number 1? Before sinker choise? Do you think?
Yes Wayne you're right. I don't make any plans without checking the weather.
Can you show us how to land a Jewie?
I'm going to focus on Jewies over the next couple of months.
Roger with all this run off from the floods, my beach, Stockton, is brown, but the actual conditions look otherwise fishable. What is the ruling regards brown stormy water for beach fishing? And the temp has dropped to 17 degrees . Thanks Mate.
I should think that the waves would be pretty big up your way today. The brown water is good, it doesn’t bother the fish. Mulloway tend to congregate near river mouths in these conditions.
@@RogerOsborneFishing The waves aren't that big. There is a very strong westerly blowing today which will flatten out whatever there is.
