Hi Roger, I’ve noticed in your recent shorts that you might be a bit bothered by the salmon comments. I don’t believe your viewers actually hate salmon; it’s more of an inside joke amongst your most dedicated fans. Your consistent success in catching various fish is a testament to your skills, and we truly value all the tips and tricks you share with us. 🐠
No, I truly detest the things as a food fish. Awesome sport but no matter how they're prepared (even fish cakes) they are inedible. And I do know how to bleed and fillet fish. I have tried every suggested method of eating Australian Salmon and I can't stand them. Maybe it's something to do with the Western Australian sub-species being different?
Hi Roger, I’m a 39 year old female. I was lucky growing up, my dad would take me fishing for whiting every weekend up to Bribie Island, I think to escape from crap going on at home. I loved it! For years we did that and we always bought live worms from the tackle shop which were expensive back then. My Dad’s now doing his own thing and I have a little 5 year old girl. With your videos I think I’m going to take her to try get some beach worms and go fishing, just the two of us. I’ve been studying your videos. Thanks so much 🙏
IHI Rodger I struggle with the casting I have a penn battle 6000 and a 12’ rod but I must be doing it wrong my line gets caught around my reel and I often end up with loops in the rolled up line can you give us a demo of how to hold it right and when to let go and what to do next or if you have all ready given a tutorial on this please give me the link move your work David
@@davidstaples746 Hi David, I just noticed your comment regarding casting issues. I'm not sure if you are aware, but you posted your comment under another person's comment and that's probably why I'd say Roger hasn't seen it. Maybe repost it on one of his later videos. Cheers, Gary.
Hi Rodger, I am from UK and have just come across your master class videos . My daughter lives in Shell Harbour . We have been to Oz 4 times and I absolutely love fishing there . We hire camper and travel most of the east coast up to Cairns and back .I fish as much as I can but I’m not an expert like you . I will get as many tips from you with these very informative videos. Thankyou Rodger 😊
Roger it is great to watch your videos I at 70 years of age love you to remind us that Fishing means a feed not a competition. Cheers Rog keep up the great videos
These videos inspire me to fish I am from Ghana 🇬🇭 Fishing equipment is too expensive here. I will keep saving till I am able to afford, thank you so much
Hey Roger, I’m from NZ and live Aus now I love Kahawai or salmon, especially done as a raw fish semi cooked by lemon juice then mixed with some coconut cream and ingredients of your choice
Hey mate I mentioned this a wile back i think , as your channel has grown amazingly and for new viewers would it be possible to do an in depth rod selection video and reel selection video as there are so many options What size what length what material one piece 2 piece 3 piece weight if rod reel size ect you have years of experience and you use a select few rods and your opinion on the reason you use those would be amazing knowledge I know it’s not a video for everyone but perhaps the people that may come across a video could get into this amazing hobby and way of life Thanks mate
Please do a beach fishing video with store bought prawns, squid and pilchards. Be interesting to see how they do compared with your usual fresh worms and flesh baits.
Really enjoying you videos Roger. Due to medical issue i have not wet a line in 19 years but your'e clips and advice have made me do something about it. I grew up with dad and pop fishing Moreton Bay and the creek system for crabs and Flatties. I think this year might be it. Cheers mate and i love the stinger on wire rig.
Hi Rodger, I’m a huge fan. I’ve been using your tips and trying to show my son what I’ve learnt. Keep it up I’ll never get sick of watching your content….
Main struggle i have is that around perth the beaches are large and barren of any structure, and there are no beach worms. If i buy the worms they are pumped up with red dye that stains my hands. So my main baits are pilchards,prawn, squid, wwhitebait and octopus. I always take a little bit of all of them. Thanks for your informative show and i just love watching you fishing, your camerawoman does a great job too. Thanks alot
I have found the same thing. Most of the beaches don’t have the features / gutters that we see in the videos. I think Trigg follows this pattern though and beaches to the north of Yanchep.
Good afternoon Roger, im always enjoying your content!! I learned a lot from here and applied for my fishing skills. Education content💪🙏 thanks a lot, may God bless u always and your family.
Roger I was caravaning right there down lake tabourie last week! So cool to see, I was on the rocks behind you and caught a few wrasse...tried where you are an got nothing! Wish I watched your vids earlier!! Your a legend mate! Love to watch ya. Thanks for your tips 😊
Hello Roger, great channel, thank you for all your vast information. I live on the Northern Beaches as well and I love beach fishing. However I am struggling to find such isolated beaches to fish as you do in your informative videos. 😊
Hi Roger, just passing on some advice I was told when I was around 12 (now 65). I was fishing off a wharf and got a few good leatherjackets as did the old timer next to me. He said "forget about all the advice about fishing son. A lot of fisho's will tell you don't fish at low tide, while others will say don't fish at high tide, and others will say don't fish a run-in or run-out tide. Others will say don't fish a full moon, and others will say don't fish a moonless night. Fish are where you find them!". What a philosophy and I've stuck to it. Who cares if you don't come home with a full bucket or nothing at all. The main thing is to get out there and have a good time. Getting fish is a bonus. The last thing I want to think when the time comes to leave this mortal coil, is to say "I wish I'd gone fishing more".
Hi Roger, my biggest problem for me is that I've never done beach fishing before. A complete novice. Love your videos and lear ing heaps. Hope to go to Warrnambool very soon.
Id definitely reccomend smoking it, its absolutely delicious. As a kiwi i can say some people do complain but they're missing out. Battered, coated in panko crumb or smoked is my favorite way to eat it.
Great to learn from you, my question is when you cast out do you have your reel drag on tight or lose , i look forward to seeing more videos about rigs and different line strength.
Hi Roger. Thanks for your instructional videos. I’d like to know if you think the fazes of the moon make much difference with the timing of when you should go fishing.
Hey Roger thanks for another fabulous video. So much helpful information and advice all very eloquently presented. I’ve used your world’s deadliest rig several times using several different baits fishing Fingal beach just north of Newcastle and despite trying for many hours have never caught a fish. Perhaps I’ve been cursed as much as I try and watching many RUclips videos my results are always the same. At least I can say I’m consistent hehehe. I’ll nevertheless keep trying and thanks again for sharing your immense knowledge
Hi Mr. Roger, I really envy you. You are such a lucky man who live in a place where there's so many beatuful beaches where you can fish. i love to watch your video, it's very entertaining and educating. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Roger, another great video. My problem with beach fishing is to find a good spot to fish. It seems I always go to the wrong place at the wrong time.
Hi Roger, your videos are amazing. Just wondering if you tried using offset circle hooks without striking? I use that in my rig but haven't tried beach fishing using those yet.
Hi there Roger...just to let u know l really enjoy your videos as l have recently moved to the coast and being a dam and river fisherman have really been struggling but u have truly showed me a lot and still haven't caught but l am optimistic about doing some good fishing after taking alot of your advise 😎🇿🇦🎼🤙
Hi Roger. Me and my girl are with you in regards to salmon we love them, enjoy catching and enjoy eating them we feel everyone else is maybe abit spoilt and get to many other choices and maybe thats why they dont like salmon. We cook it like any other fish once its bleed out. We are on your side salmon is yum!
hey Roger, love your vids and have learnt heaps! im really stuggling to catch snapper :( is this a video you can do by any chance? all the best and tight lines
Getting a bite. No matter where or when I’ve ever fished. I rarely ever get a bite. Hopefully now that I’ve started trying to fish again and all this info on RUclips may help me 😂
Hi mate just in scaling fish I have an awesome technique it’s a bit of a task but think of this a high pressure washer head (like a gerni gun ) with a normal hose end to turn it into a low pressure fine stream of water use that in the opposite direction to tje scales theu blow straight off Or just get a hose fitting that can supply a flat thin high pressure stream tje scales littrally blow off toy can also use an air blower works for me even for Barra with thick scales
Hi Roger, the way you set up your rig gives opportunity to catch 2 fish at same time. When this happens do you find there s a lot of pressure on your rod if they swim in different directions though only for a short while
Hey Roger, I was just in Bateman’s bay and tried out lilli pilli beach. Didn’t catch anything even when I cast into gutters and tried using prawns as bait. I know it’s a big favour, but when you do come to Bateman’s bay could you try lilli pilli beach for surf and rock fishing. Thanks.
Hi Roger do you use a light wire rig for your Taylor, in South Africa they are called Shad and most times they’ll bite through the line unless honked in the side of the mouth hence when the schools of Shad run, the guys rig up with a light wire traces. It’s a great eating fish if fresh and handled properly otherwise it goes soft and is not so good. Does this also apply over there.
Yet to catch a salmon, but we are going to try more beach fishing, if we do catch a salmon we will give it a go in cooking and eating it, I’m hoping I like this fish especially when I’m struggling to get a flathead
Hey Roger I absolutely love your content. I love fishing but around 12 months ago I sold my boat and my wife and I bought a caravan. We frequently head south of Wollongong usually. We are heading to Bawley Point in a couple of weeks. I am really trying to learn the ropes of sand worming as well as the art of beach fishing. I hope that will scratch that itch of fishing I love. Any tips for fishing around that Bawley Point area. Cheers Roger Jason
first main struggle is i cant find expert angler as you in my country hahaha my home spots are not similar to yours but hey im happy to watch your vids thanks
I just seem to always use 2-3 bait types but always come home empty handed. Sometimes I will catch 1 or 2 fish to eat but not always. Yes, it’s great being outdoors but catching fish would also help
I struggle ready the water from the beach, and whether to fish incoming/outgoing and the weather overcast/sunnie. I just end up chucking a line in and hoping for the best while playing cricket and drinking beers with the boys haha not very effective though....
Hi Roger. Great videos. What are your thoughts on the types of reels? In this video you're using what we refer to in South Africa as a coffee grinder (spinner), but I don't like them very much. I use multipliers on all my rods. I have from an old Penn 500 and Penn 40A, which are about 40 years old, to the latest Shimano and Diawa multipliers. I find that the reel sitting on top of the rod more comfortable and I tend to cast a lot further with a multiplier. I have also found that the feedback from the line with the eyes facing upwards on the rod to be a little better. Being that I fish with a multiplier, I have more eyes on my rods and they are smaller. I would like get your feedback on this, as I have noticed that all the latest rod and reel setups seem to be for the spinner rigs.
Great video . I live in Cornwall in England, fish beaches alot , had to laugh because the fish you caught you call a gummy shark we call dog fish . Very abrassive skin like sandpaper . Bend the tail upto its body and hold together. They cant rub you then , enjoyed your video . I use a similar rig behind the waves and do well on it for bass and mackeral etc , tight lines
Hi Roger, here in South Africa we eat shad whenever we can catch them. They don't keep well in the freezer, but if you eat them fresh, they are excellent. In the time I have been watching your channel, I have not seen you keep one to eat. Why is that?
My other main issue is, do i use Braid, mono, FC, steel, suicide_hooks, long shank, red, black hook, bream hook, salmon hook, 13mm lure, 7.5 cm leader....... it goes on and on and on, you shrug your shoulders, and say, See it's easy.
Hi, Roger, do you think using fresh shrimp or squid would be a good bait for fishing on the beach? The other thing is it true that the best time to fish is to fish when the tide is coming in? Cheers!
My number 1 struggle is coming to terms with the price of a standard Wod and Weel, the price of tackle, the knots, the poundage of line, the sizes of hooks, the; not understanding why I have big loops running around on my reel, the price of fuel to travel 3.5 hours to the beach. And then I see the price of fish fillets in the fish markets! smh. And you just do it, you know when, how or why things happen or don't happen, you recognise what the fish is, you know what hook and line, you know what the difference between light line and other line...... so, my main struggle.
Hi Roger, I’m still learning how to fish in Wollongong beaches and found little luck. How deep does the beach needs to be to hold fish? I’ve tried casting in pockets of water, washes and even breaks but haven’t found any luck. Been trying pilchard, squid and prawns so far.
hi,roger. l a prevous cpmment to yourself, i asked if possible to highlight your casting distance in your surf fishing videos? i dont have a super sized tv..also whats your opinion on jarvis walker rods? ipurchased a 10" and snapped it twice on the strike!!
Hi Mr. Roger, how to choose the best rod as a beginner my target maximum to catch 40LB fishing I checked in RUclips several videos they say about reel sizes only but still I don't know what the pound test line can use on that reel. When choosing a rod and reel combo what are the specifications I should look for.
My main struggle is finding good spots. When i go on a holiday i seldom get fish because im unfamiliar with the location. Please give some advice. Thanks!
When the tides are strong I put a heavy sinker and cast my rod, but then I can’t feel whether I’ve gotten a bite or not. Should I just use a smaller sinker?
Hello Roger, I live here in Florida and am a surf fishing beginner. Can we pair a 10Ft rod (Shimano Tiralejo for example) with the brand new 8000 daiwa free swimmer xe reel? Or is an 8000 reel too heavy? Thank you for your great videos!

Thankyou, you do a lot to help people actually enjoy fishing, catching is important, not everything but people will continue to fish if they catch
This is a great channel, Roger. Great work!!
Awesome video as always, Love your high end belt Rodg 😅
New to the channel mate but absolutely love it.
Thanks for showing the rig mate and love the salmon fishing, keep up the great content. Gets me pumped. I love making salmon nuggets

Pretty flash bait bucket belt. I thought I was the only one to make a belt. Well done. Love the vids
Id definitely reccomend smoking it, its absolutely delicious. As a kiwi i can say some people do complain but they're missing out. Battered, coated in panko crumb or smoked is my favorite way to eat it.
31:50 is a blind shark. Good video - thx
Hi Roger, just come across your channel, love your videos. Where abouts are these nice beaches?
Great to learn from you, my question is when you cast out do you have your reel drag on tight or lose , i look forward to seeing more videos about rigs and different line strength.
Not really tight or loose, just moderate
❤helpful Thanks 😊❤.
Hello Mr Osborne, the beard of 3 days suits you very well and the video is top.🙋♂️🎣👍

morocco
Nice sir..
Thanks and welcome
Hi Rodger, what line do you use braid or mono? or both?
Thanks for the great videos -cheers , from South Australia
I use both. Mono is more user friendly, braid is great for casting and detecting bites
hi,roger.i have noted you fish in late afternoon? is there a eason for this?? where i stay in richards bay south africa, we fish all day.
I just seem to always use 2-3 bait types but always come home empty handed. Sometimes I will catch 1 or 2 fish to eat but not always. Yes, it’s great being outdoors but catching fish would also help
I've noticed perth beaches are very harsh compared to eastern states beaches and also the wind is horrendous most days
I struggle ready the water from the beach, and whether to fish incoming/outgoing and the weather overcast/sunnie. I just end up chucking a line in and hoping for the best while playing cricket and drinking beers with the boys haha not very effective though....

hi roger for me catching fish from land base i don’t have much luck.
Hi Roger, here in South Africa we eat shad whenever we can catch them. They don't keep well in the freezer, but if you eat them fresh, they are excellent. In the time I have been watching your channel, I have not seen you keep one to eat. Why is that?
My other main issue is, do i use Braid, mono, FC, steel, suicide_hooks, long shank, red, black hook, bream hook, salmon hook, 13mm lure, 7.5 cm leader....... it goes on and on and on, you shrug your shoulders, and say, See it's easy.
Hi, Roger, do you think using fresh shrimp or squid would be a good bait for fishing on the beach? The other thing is it true that the best time to fish is to fish when the tide is coming in? Cheers!
My number 1 struggle is coming to terms with the price of a standard Wod and Weel, the price of tackle, the knots, the poundage of line, the sizes of hooks, the; not understanding why I have big loops running around on my reel, the price of fuel to travel 3.5 hours to the beach.
And then I see the price of fish fillets in the fish markets! smh.
And you just do it, you know when, how or why things happen or don't happen, you recognise what the fish is, you know what hook and line, you know what the difference between light line and other line...... so, my main struggle.
Hi Roger, I’m still learning how to fish in Wollongong beaches and found little luck. How deep does the beach needs to be to hold fish? I’ve tried casting in pockets of water, washes and even breaks but haven’t found any luck.
Been trying pilchard, squid and prawns so far.
hi,roger. l a prevous cpmment to yourself, i asked if possible to highlight your casting distance in your surf fishing videos? i dont have a super sized tv..also whats your opinion on jarvis walker rods? ipurchased a 10" and snapped it twice on the strike!!
Hi Rog, I struggle with finding a right place to fish in Melbourne
Hi Mr. Roger, how to choose the best rod as a beginner my target maximum to catch 40LB fishing I checked in RUclips several videos they say about reel sizes only but still I don't know what the pound test line can use on that reel. When choosing a rod and reel combo what are the specifications I should look for.
Do you perhaps have the specific model number for your 10ft Maikuro II Surf rod?
Whats the best rod to use went fishing
My main struggle is finding good spots. When i go on a holiday i seldom get fish because im unfamiliar with the location. Please give some advice. Thanks!
Hardest thing for me is finding a place to go to get some fish, seem to get one or none when im going should add im in warnambool area
When the tides are strong I put a heavy sinker and cast my rod, but then I can’t feel whether I’ve gotten a bite or not. Should I just use a smaller sinker?
Hello Roger, I live here in Florida and am a surf fishing beginner. Can we pair a 10Ft rod (Shimano Tiralejo for example) with the brand new 8000 daiwa free swimmer xe reel? Or is an 8000 reel too heavy? Thank you for your great videos!
I struggle with my bait getting nibbled off
