Hi Roger! I'm a fellow Narrabeen-er I Love All your content and the way you explain everything! I'm watch ur episodes Everyday! And over again! Love ur work! Ur the Best! And Laurie always cracks me up😂
I enjoy watching ya show very much. What i enjoy the most is that you keep it reel, the videos don't feel like a fishing lesson, they're more of a fishing session.✌
I remember fishing as a kid every weekend on Newcastle Harbour Wharf's and catching yellowtails, mullet, then riding our bikes to Nobby's breakwater and fishing for the snapper, Bream and Tailor best of times, also going on the rocks to get the sea grass for the black bream and also getting Cunjevoi for the biggest breams and Snappers and leatherjackets ever, love your videos and I have learnt so much from you also
Hi there, I live in south africa. I absolutely enjoy your presentations, straight forward and to the point. What I like most is the simplicity of your various methods in all your fishing aspects. Thank you for the amazing videos. 😊
I absolutely love the informative PDF sheets you provide in your videos Roger. I have a few printed and laminated that I have in my tackle backpack that I take out with me for quick reference now and again.
Roger thanks for this video. I spent 3 months in Sunshine coast and loved the fishing from piers and wharfs. In the Noosa river before boarding a houseboat we did some fishing. I only used one hook and a swiwel as a sinker. What a lot of fish was caught.
Hi Roger. Loving your content. Would love to see a video explaining best methods for keeping the baits you collect. Live worms, nippers and the like. Thanks for all the great tips and knowledge.
Thanks Roger. I love fishing off a pier/jetty. Something about the simplicity and childhood memories. By the way in NSW the Luderick size limit is 27cm.
Memories. Great stuff. My first fishing was at Port in about 1950. Dad got 50 yards of Tortue and 3 corks and gave us one each. We fished at a 20 metre beach near the Trawlers in the Hastings River. I got some bites and a little flounder. The smell of the river and the prawn trawlers together with bites from unseen things hooked me and 74 years later I am still hooked I wonder how many kids have that experience off a jetty? Many I would suggest. That makes this video a great one, providing first timers with the know how to catch a fish even with a cork or coke bottle.
I've fished from that pier and caught a few but now you've given me knowledge as to how to fish it better! Thank you! That sting ray's been there for years! Used to be 2 of them.
Certainly another entertaining and instructional video…..your channel is so diverse and does not just concentrate on one type of fishing and what is more important, it shows the “bread and butter” type fishing available to most anglers. Roger, that large fish frame on the bottom….did you know what type of fish that might have been. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next video.
@@snorlaxthepokemon3275 Could a kingfish, spanish mackerel or similar due to its forked tail and size but definitely not a jewfish (rounded/concave tail) due to the tails shape.
Thanks Roger for the pier fishing video. Your camera person would love keeping the feet clean for a change 😂 and great to see underwater footages! Please keep them coming!
Loving your video,I enjoy pier fishing too, only only thing is am so much more careful returning them than you seem to be just throwing them at distance away ! But enjoy your love of fishing as many of us on here do ! Tight lines from Malachy from Galway bay in the West of Ireland
@@RogerOsborneFishing I have developed a type of dough based bait for fishing that holds well on the hook and can be kept on the shelf without fridge. I was wondering if you be interested in commercialisation and promotion of it? Huge market!
Great way to introduce kids to fishing! When I was little, we used to fish off the old Taronga Wharf; nobody minded so long as we got out of the way of the Harbour Ferries. You caught your yellowtail on a bit of cheap mince, and then set the livie to catch a John Dory. Say, Roger, I’m in the market for a good large surf rod that breaks down into four pieces … do you mind me asking the make and model of that one I’ve seen you fishing in the surf with in the videos? Cheers, Chris
I’ve bagged out on good drummer - luderick bream and large sea mullet just using bread on a hook in a calm ocean bay standing on rocks with sand bottom light line good fun
Mr.Roger, I love to spend time like this. But unfortunately this type of places are mostly baned or close to public. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could fish with you someday. Happy fishing, from Singapore.
Few years back, I was at anchor on the eastern side of Wave Break Island. I had all light gear, targeting whiting and smaller pan fish. All of a sudden, there was a hell of a noise under me. The water was going nuts. Like a riot under my boat. I cast in and all I got back was a hook that looked like a discarded piece of fence wire. I threw in a few times and all I got back was a bent hook. Every fishermen in the southern hemisphere seen what was going on and they all came over. They were all pulling out sizable trevally. A school had scared something into the shallows and was in a feeding frenzy. They were chewing my hooks like bubblegum and spitting them out. Since that day, if I head out targeting smaller fish, I always have a hand reel with 50lb mono and some larger hooks in my bag.
I enjoy watching the videos with a lot of the same practices and experiences over the same time period gives it a lot similar results. But, I seem to spend a lot more hours finding the results. 😊… fishing the south coast with abundance of Oz Salmon and bream is not all that challenging. I liked to see Kings or Snapper shore base fishing.?
This is great and all in a giant country with a small population and a lot of regulations. You have plenty of fish everywhere. Where I'm from the locals net out pretty much every size fish you can imagine on a daily basis.
Based on the video General Tips for Fishing from Piers, Wharves, and Jetties 1. Attract Fish with Burley: * Use bread, mushed-up fish, or prawn heads to create a burley trail. * Wet the bread so it sinks instead of floating away with the current or wind. * Observe the types of fish attracted to the burley (e.g., bream, mullet, ludrick, or trevally). 2. Noise and Traffic Are Not Deterrents: * Fish adapt to traffic, noise, and boat movements. Fishing near busy areas (like Sydney Harbor) can still be productive. Effective Fishing Methods 1. No Sinker, Hook Only: * Mold bread or bait onto a hook and let it drift naturally with the current. * Watch for the bait to disappear, indicating a bite. 2. Float Method: * Use a lightweight rod with a small float (e.g., Bobby Cork) to suspend bait at a set depth. * Adjust the depth using a stopper knot or rubber stopper based on water depth. * Observe the float for bites, then strike when it dips. 3. Bait Selection: * Bread is versatile and works well for various species, including bream, mullet, and trevally. * Alternative baits include prawns, pilchards, and green weed (though bread proved more effective for ludrick). Practical Demonstrations 1. Casting and Drifting: * Cast the line up-current and let the float or bait drift naturally. * Follow the float along the pier or jetty while observing its movement. 2. Hooking Fish: * Small fish often get to the bait first, but persistence can yield legal-sized fish. * Lift fish carefully, especially larger ones, to avoid losing them. Additional Tips 1. Fish Safety and Release: * Release undersized fish or use them as bait for larger species. * Toss released fish away from the fishing area to avoid scaring other fish. 2. Adaptation to Conditions: * Bring various baits to suit different species and conditions. * Adjust fishing strategies to target larger fish if small ones dominate. Results and Observations * The video showed catches of bream, mullet, trevally, and ludrick. * Bread was highly effective as bait, even outperforming green weed for ludrick. * Visual methods like float fishing and natural drifting were both successful.
How do I know what fish I can keep for bait only and which ones for eating. Also how do you keep your bait if bought frozen? Do you defrost and then can you refreeze?
Is there a pier in Sydney where you can see fish in the water like that?? Would love to take my kids but its hard to keep them interested when it feels like there are no fish around!
Go to the piers next to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. That is where I learned how to catch fish using a line wound onto a bobby cork. We would catch yellowtail, trevally, tailor, mackeral, bream and garfish and the odd mullet. Nowadays, they target kingfish and mulloway. Occasionally, on the bottom you would catch the odd flathead.
hey mate just sayin so ya know for next time the nsw size for luderick is 27cm 👍. Keep doin what ya doin I love your videos, I recently got a shimano Mauro ii with a Daiwa excellent 3000 with 15lb braid and am hoping to use it as an Allrounder combo what do you think 🤔
im frpom new zealand and i am going to mooloolaba sunshine coast for a holiday in november, and i am bringing a little lure rod, what would you reccomend me use or where to fish to catch austrailian species?
@@RogerOsborneFishing you're a good man Roger, your channel is great for children and adults who would like to learn more about fishing, you give great advice and techniques, I've had so many people come up to me when I'm fishing and they say we try but where not that good at it, and I always give them hints and tips and tell them to Google stuff about knots,hooks,sinkers,baits, etc etc... they can learn heaps from you, I tell them now to watch your channel.. another good channel is shroom fishing... Good teaching is the key to good education...tight line's 🎣🎣🎣
Roger mate, am I just in the wrong spots everything? Cos I've literally followed these videos as I'm fishing and not even a bite haha, what am I doing wrong
Roger thanks for this video. I spent 3 months in Sunshine coast and loved the fishing from piers and wharfs. In the Noosa river before boarding a houseboat we did some fishing. I only used one hook and a swiwel as a sinker. What a lot of fish was caught.
@@michelemeskell1417 I had the oportunity to fish in Kawana lake, about 700m from my daughter's house. Caught a mangrove jack as well as a bream of 43cm. These were on chicken breast strips. Nice place is all along the walkway next to the Carrimundy lake, right up to the mouth. That is on the petrol filling station sude of the lake. Also all along the Moolaalah river also right upto the river mouth. Then in between the structures in the Noosa river. BTW I am now back in South Africa after 3 month visit to Aus.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to ur missus rog . . I don't think she gets enough credit mate.!

Hi from Australia 😊
Best vedio sir,,,
Hi Roger, nice video! Where is this tranquil place? Thanks Steve
Another great video Roger. Love your work mate, keep it up. How do you make your dough for bait?
He said its just white bread soaked in water until mushy
hey roger..
i love all your videos, keep up the great work.

Great video indeed. One question though Roger, can we catch +1KG fish size in such places or only small ones?
Thoughts on using the premade burley from tackle shops instead of bread?
I enjoy watching the videos with a lot of the same practices and experiences over the same time period gives it a lot similar results. But, I seem to spend a lot more hours finding the results. 😊… fishing the south coast with abundance of Oz Salmon and bream is not all that challenging.

is this near sydney? i want to take my 6 year old nephew out to fish. awesome vid rog keep it up!
Hey Roger, do you use the telescopic or the 2 piece Maikuro 2 rod. Can you suggest any good rods for light fishing like you do in this video, thanks.
This is great and all in a giant country with a small population and a lot of regulations. You have plenty of fish everywhere. Where I'm from the locals net out pretty much every size fish you can imagine on a daily basis.
Great vid :) What rod are you using here?
where i live they like to put padlocks and gates up to areas like this.
mmmm Okay
