Hi Roger, 1st of all thank you so much for this page! I've not long ago turned 30yr old and just got into fishing. I never had anyone to show me the ropes growing up but your channel has really helped me develop my fishing game, beach fishing especially. I do have an idea for a new video that you may or may not be interested in? Could you please do a video on the do's and don’ts of what to do when your line/rig gets caught up in rocks or gets tangled in seaweeds? It's a persistent problem I seem to face and there doesnt seem to be much solid info online. I hope you can help! Thanks again sir!
I have plenty of rods then you go and mention the Shimano Maikuro II Spinning Rod 12ft 5-10kg. Looks great & Looks like I'm getting another rod! Great recommendation Roger.
You're a true legend Roger. I like to surf fish for Australian Salmon in Victoria and have done so for the past 40 years. I love the way you explain your tips and techniques but I have never tried fishing for Salmon with beach worms nor have I ever seen anyone look for them in Victoria! Can you or anyone reading this tell me if we have those massive beach worms in Victoria? Keep up the great work and tight lines 🎣
Such bad luck, i've been lucky enough to have experienced the same thing. Same result and i too could only hope to land a fish of a life time. I'll keep at it and im sure you will too.
I always thread crabs on through one of the rear leg joints and out through any side. It seems to stay on longer if the hook is held through the leg/body socket. Thanks for your tips Roger!
Love your videos Roger and I have started using a stinger hook and I'm amazed by how many fish that it catches where the 4/0 has missed and also looking forward to your Thai fish cakes recipe keep up the good work
Kahawai, gut it as soon as landed this increases the quality of the fish for eating.Then she's marinated in lemon juice for half hour.cream, coconut cream, spring onion and tomato make up one of life's true pleasures
That sounds delicious! We have eaten a fair bit of fresh salmon finely sliced in lemon and coriander, but I will have to give your concoction a go. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
@@RogerOsborneFishing I would say their would be thousands of raw fish recipes through out the world.This one would be a Maori/pacific island type recipe,and very popular in nz
Roger thanks again for all you have taught me, that walking backwards before you set the hook has translated into many more fish caught. I have followed your Beach Rigs closely, however mine seem to get terribly tangled. I don't doubt you or them, so what can be wrong? Please. Dave Sunshine Coast
Awesome fishing Roger. I love that you are catching salmon close in like that. 98% of my catch is snapper using a drone, but salmond (kahawai) is my favourite as it smokes so well. I would love to look you up when I visit Australia in February next year. I am going to purchase a new rig similar to yours and try your technique at my local beaches.
I bought some soft plastic fake beach worms. I also caught some live beach worms. I fished with the live worms and I was pulling in bream and dart. I switched to the plastic, I was getting back fake bait with bites taken out of it. Switched back to live worms and started pulling in the fish again. I think a lot of lures are made to catch fishermen, not fish.
I’m a bit slow on the uptake, I’m watching this and thinking gee this looks like the conditions when I’m fishing at the holiday house and that island to the south looks just like the island I look at and then you swing north and I’m like hey that’s such and such island and realised you are in my fishing hole that I’ve been fishing at for 50 years )
Hi Roger, really enjoy your videos. Particularly the Aussie Salmon ones. It’s something I’ve never done but want to explore. Looking forward to some more Thai Fishcake recipes! Can you tell us about the shoes you use for beach fishing?
Guday Roger, I have enjoyed your videos, fishing on the beach. I want to ask why aren't there any boats in the back ground ? Are the beach's where you fish way out in the boonies ? If so do you think that add's to your success's. I have been fishing across the bay from N.Y., at a beach by the name of Sandy Hook, in New Jersey, U.S.A. but haven't been able to catch anything. I have been watching you catch a silver fish that has long spines, is that the same as a porgy in the U.S. ? I am trying to catch Fluke a good eating fish hear, but I haven't been able to get one. Thank You Very Much for your videos, Felix
These fish the Australians call salmon are what we call Blues here in the US correct? As always, excellent video your a wonderful teacher! Thanks for all your efforts Roger!
I often use soft plastics, especially worm patterns, the same way as fresh bait. Secret seems to be commercial scent in a tube (S factor?) and circle hooks or shiner hooks.
ok thanks you I can only found the travel one 4 piece from witch website have u bought it please thanks I keep watching your video just love it can't get enough @@RogerOsborneFishing
Hi Roger I love your videos! I've just started out and growing this new found love along with my little kids. Are all your videos filmed down on the Sapphire Coast? What beach fishing can be had during the NSW Winter months?
@@RogerOsborneFishingwe have a holiday house in tabourie, I’m watching this today unaware of where you are fishing but was thinking way further north, as the video progressed I’m thinking gee that looks like my stomping grounds and that looks like brush island and stokes and then the camera swung north and I’m like that’s crampton island where I’ve been fishing for some 50 years ) the southern end fishes well under right conditions also Roger
A mistake I see many younger fishers make, in their effort and excitement to bring in their catch, is that they skull drag the fish with tight drag, no allowance is made for the fish to drag out line and tire themselves out. They are so focused on bringing in their catch that even trying to talk them through the exercise is useless- they don't/can't hear the advice. P.S. I like your videos and your advice is sound. As an old time fisher, I appreciate the knowledge you share with other fishers. There's no sense having knowledge if you don't share it.
Roger I've noticed that taking the nippers off the crab seems to lead to good results. When I was kid i used to use small rock crabs for Bream fishing and with the nippers on I'd get no bites as soon as the nippers were off i'd clean up. With groupers and other big fish it doesn't matter, but I've never used crabs on the beach, i usually only use Pillies, worms, squid and cockles. I use a berley spring with home made berley with curry/garlic powder, aniseed oil and a berley bag with old prawn heads and bits from dinners. It brings everything in, unfortunately some undesirable species, but mostly target species
The hard work of farming really shines in this video.
I love the sound of the surf too in your videos. Sounds relaxing.
You make beach fishing so easy means you are professional. Legend
roger you're the GOAT i flipping love you. my walls are covered in pictures of you

Roger, you are such a good teacher. So clear in your instructions. Your joy of fishing is so wonderful to see

You are so good at explaining and showing everything.
Another ripper of a episode Roger
Now that was a great day of fishing!👍
I always thread crabs on through one of the rear leg joints and out through any side. It seems to stay on longer if the hook is held through the leg/body socket. Thanks for your tips Roger!
Practical knowledge this man is so good i feel so lucky to have found this channel
Another nice video! Thank you Roger 🙏🏼🌊🐟☀️☁️
Really enjoyed your video and the scenery is so beautiful.
Fantastic video as usual. Very cool. Quality of audio surprisingly very good given you on a windy beach. Thank you
Love your videos mate. Where is the BEACH location in NSW or VIC. I asked before however I didn’t receive an answer. Keep up the great videos mate.
Nice, I too love fish the surf with two rods with bait and one rod casting.
2 at one time. Awesome!
Keep on coming
Love your videos Roger and I have started using a stinger hook and I'm amazed by how many fish that it catches where the 4/0 has missed and also looking forward to your Thai fish cakes recipe keep up the good work

I love plastics as it bypasses the pickers
Interesting to see your approach to drag setting. I have always done it that way and have just learnt how to judge just the right amount of drag.
Thanks roger. Hooked on your channel.
Hello Mr Osborne,
Great video as usual.
You are among the best, never forget that.
Sincerely 🙋♂️
Thanks Bruno, I appreciate it
Omg I have exactly the same shirt
always a great and informative video . very good commentry
Much appreciated!
im a newbie for fishing i learned a lot to your channel., i want to learn to catch beach worms to be able to catch tailor and salmon
Roger thanks again for all you have taught me, that walking backwards before you set the hook has translated into many more fish caught. I have followed your Beach Rigs closely, however mine seem to get terribly tangled. I don't doubt you or them, so what can be wrong? Please. Dave Sunshine Coast
Awesome video, Thank u for sharing this experience
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi mate ,this time earlier spring, try some time port kerrys, is very good place, most spe ies are there, this place is a diving center
This was a nice way to start my morning 😂
Fascinating…
One day I will have to go there, visit that

Excellent Dan 👌
Always excited for your posts Roger!
Thanks BST
spoke too soon, this is good, it can add to my fish cake tally and it off !!... never speak too soon until it's landed
What an awesome session….you certainly have some productive water there Roger. Looking forward to the Thai Fish Cake video. Thanks for sharing Roger.
Your welcome Mark

Here in south africa we don't have beach worms, love to fish with that though
I love South Africa. I have been to Durban, Port Elizabeth and JBay
Just subscribed to this channel and am loving it . Can’t wait to get back to Australia and do some fishing.
Well done mate.Blessed Regards from Durban in South Africa.
Hi Rajane, thanks ! Hi from Australia
Liked and subscribed Rog! Just the best content from you, thank you
Much appreciated!
Cracker of a day for winter.
Is this nsw north coast?
Nice cast old timer...
I've just joined your channel. Great. Does changing barometric pressure affect fish feeding? If so could you elaborate.

Roger have you ever tried snapper fishing off the beach we would get about 5snapper per session off the beach here in qld
Sounds interesting James, what part of QLD are you fishing?
Learned alot from you
Thanks Peter
Love the vids roger. Do you use plastic pipe for rod rests👍
Hi Roger, really enjoy your videos. Particularly the Aussie Salmon ones. It’s something I’ve never done but want to explore. Looking forward to some more Thai Fishcake recipes! Can you tell us about the shoes you use for beach fishing?
Hi Greg, I wear the Shimano Evair shoes
@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks Roger I will be fishing a bit north of you….Kinghorne area.
Great video thank you,
Is there a reason you don't iki or bleed out the Kahawai?
Question what’s the best knot for beach fishing because the knots I used broke off
Great video Roger what brand was that soft plastic bait

Thanks for all your efforts Roger!
If U meen blue fish ,no
Cool
Its a pity you dont do catch and cook,i love catch and cook.
I'll have to consider that
@@RogerOsborneFishing I bet your wife can make a great fish stew.
Merry Christmas
Same to you!
Triple gang hooks for those tailor , bite offs are a pain in the butt , I like a bit of trace as well , that fixes the buggars .
Yeah, but he's fishing for a mixed variety of fish. Hard to catch trevally, bream or flathead on Gangs.
Thank you for the video sir, how can I get that plastic bait?
Just found this channel, interesting... How is wear those sandals in the waves & sand?
Hi Roger. What rod were you using for light surf.?
Great session, well done. Where was the tide at
New to fishing here, may I ask why you take the heads of your mulie baits ?
Question can you use soft plastics like bait fishing and allow the wave action to attract the fish ?
I often use soft plastics, especially worm patterns, the same way as fresh bait. Secret seems to be commercial scent in a tube (S factor?) and circle hooks or shiner hooks.
Very pleasing to watch as always Roger..! Could tell us which beach is that please ?
Tabourie Beach NSW
great channel mate love the long form vids
Excuse me sir, is this rod shimano maikuro 2 a telescopic rod or not?
Did you cut the salmon to drain them off? Where is that cut?
Hi Roger...do you brain spike or kill the fish when you keep it ? If not, any spesific reason why not (i saw the salmon flapping around)
are you using a running sinker, i used to boat fish in NZ was a top fisher, bee here 22 years never caught a fish
hi Roger love your road witch model exactly and how many piece please .Regards Max
Shimano Maikuro 2, 2 piece
ok thanks you I can only found the travel one 4 piece from witch website have u bought it please thanks I keep watching your video just love it can't get enough
@@RogerOsborneFishing
what worms are you using? im sorta new and just got myself a surf rod.
Which beach are you at? Love your videos.
He's at Conjola Beach.
South Coast NSW
Those near shore trenches are corridors for big fish movement.Never know what you’re gonna catch in them.
Yes that's right!
Is it the 12ft Maikuro or Taipan you were using?
Ay Rodger might have to migrate to your part of Australia . Where are you . Vic, NSW or QLD. Cheers Love your tips
NSW South Coast
What is your sinker rig?
What size spheros is that ?
What beach is this Roger?
Hi Roger, what reel and line weight have you got paired with your 12ft makuro?
He said 20lb
Hi Nath, Reel is a Shimano Socorro SW6000 spooled with 20lb mono
@@RogerOsborneFishing thanks mate!
Surfs pumping get out there for a surf
Hi Roger
I love your videos! I've just started out and growing this new found love along with my little kids.
Are all your videos filmed down on the Sapphire Coast?
What beach fishing can be had during the NSW Winter months?
Hi mark, I am based at Ulladulla. There are plenty of fish during the winter. I will fish right through the cold months.

nice one shame about the wind man
Thank you sir for all the information you share with us on the channel. Love watching your videos. Love from India.
Thanks James, hi from Australia
May I know this beach location please? Seen this location in couple of your videos.
Antarctica.
Hi Roger an Australis salmon is the best for Sashimi better than Tasmania salmon
Hi Daniel, yeS I have heard that. Also excellent for Ceviche
Hi Roger what is you fishing location and can you find salmon in QLD Thanks
Tabourie Beach NSW. I am not sure how far north the Salmon travel

Why you didn't bleed your salmon!
So, the winner is natural bait?
