Hey Roger! Close the clip on the slider before you send it out. Think of it as just a big swivel clip. A large fish will cause the slider to bend if not clipped.
One thing to think about is you may have to lift the rod up and down up to 100+ times just to get the slider all the way out. It can be a little easier if you are fishing from a pier or a higher vantage point into deeper water as the drop angle will be a lot greater. I also find fishing from the shore to pin the bait at the dorsal fin or towards the front of the bait to make bait swim more level and further back down the tail if your vantage point is higher and causing the bait to swim downwards and deeper.. Good luck with your new fishing and learning process. The Poms and the Kiwis also have plenty of informative videos on this subject. Keep up the good work mate.
At Lennox Head, on 7 mile beach, the banjo rays (which I think you caught one of) start biting just past the top of the tide. Time to go home. Great show!
Roger 2mistakes 1st one lock your slide 2nd you must jiggle your rod for about 10min you should try the dingle dangle method it's much easier and garunteed bigger fish
Gudday Roger, You could fight your current to the left by putting the rod that is on the right, into the left rod holder and casting out the rod you are holding out to the right. I hope I'm making this comment clear ?. Also when I have tried to get a cast out over the braking waves my line usually snaps off. Then I figured out that if I pull about 30 ft. of line off my 12 ft. rods, then taking the end of the line and folding that in half up to the 30 ft. mark. Next tie a double overhand knot at that same mark that will give me twice the breaking strenth of single line. Now when you reel in this double line onto the reel, the 30 ft. mark is on the spool and about 3ft. is left for my sinker. Now I can cast out about 100 meters, but i still break the line some times. I think I may need to go and get a RC drone. ?. Thank You for all your hard work. Felix
Roger, I wonder if using an Alvey reel setup for your slide baiting may gain some extra cast distance? Am enjoying the slide baiting and watching with interest as a future setup. Good luck.
Hello my bro❤❤❤❤❤I just had to stop halfway through this vid to apologize for ur challenges on this trip..after having so much difficulty fighting of weed..current then 😮 darn blue bottle had to get you as well..Catching all that coincidence bro.wish fish cud get caught like that as well😅😂I guess many fans are pitying u cos you always soo composed...neva mind few setbacks always is a SETUP FOR BRIGHTER DAYS BIGGER FISH🎉🎉❤❤❤OH AND SUCH A LOVELY WELL DISCIPLINED DOG...MY ONE WUD HAVE NEVA GIVEN THOSE MULLETS ANY JOY OF SWIMMING OUT 😮😅😂😂❤❤❤
Can i ask you a question Roger? I recently caught Ludrick (2 in fact) one was huge, i think 40cm and the other was around 30cm or so. When i came home and fillited them, pan fried them, they turned out super rubbery (they didnt even taste like fish). It is my first time with these type of fish so was wondering am i cooking them wrong or something?
Just my opinion, but fish like Luderick, Trevally, Bream, etc are best baked. Just put a couple slits on both sides, add some lemon, salt and pepper and you're good to go. 160 degrees for about 18 minutes!
Roger, I thought that in NSW, you could only keep poddy mullet for bait if they're under 150mm long. Otherwise, you can keep bully mullet over 30cm long. Yours look between these sizes. Am I missing something?
the grapple sinkers you are using are pretty rubbish. Last year i fished a remote beach in South Australia and was completely un prepared in the sinker department. 2 180 gram star sinkers were not holding bottom, but luckly a local gave me a 8oz grapple which has 1mm grapple bars that were about 20cm long. these ones you had bend into whatever shape you want. the sinker held bottom really well with large salmon and squid strip baits, even with abit of weed on the line. not many tackle stores in nsw sell them for some odd reason but the brand I'm using now is "Neptune tackle". They are a snapper lead with 4 150mm prongs hanging out the base compared to the ones your using which are more of a dropper/bomb sinker with the flimsy folding prongs. Wednesday- till Friday i went for a beach fish/camp on a beach on the mid north coast and sadly on Wednesday the water close to the beach was covered in this gloopy algae like slime weed which no idea if it affects fishing but all the bream (no jews) had it all through their gills. Next morning the weed moved on and a few smaller jew came along and a sizable 1.5-2m bronzie right in the shore dumb trying to get to a salmon frame attached to my rod holder for burley. Curious if you have had large amounts of this weed and if it affects fishing or not as that's the first time I've seen it. a few live bait tips, you can give the livies tail abit of a snip to make them swim harder which can attract more fish & you should hook the livie behind the head as most fish eat head first to avoid spines.
If its what im thinking its called Snot Weed a brown slimy weed that sticks to your line you get it sometimes offshore and when its around there is not much in the way of fish to catch i think it effects there gills.
@@grimreaper6112 yeah, i thought it did, fishing was slow that day & that was in a part of the beach which didnt have too much of it. some areas had acres of it.
Hi Roger. Just a small thing when casting a grapnel sinker. After the sinker hits the bottom try to keep your rod tip down and then wind the reel till you feel the sinker is holding firmly in the sand. Then adjust your drag after sliding the bait to the stopper ring. From India. Much appreciate your videos. I did start using your worlds deadliest rigs and has improved my catch rate immensely. ❤
Roger who is giving the tips,seems like the people commenting are giving the tips.A steep beach is best for slide baiting,that is too flat where you are

Hi Roger since I started watching your clips have learnt some good points which I use in my country in India/Goa, Thank you very much.
Great session, very interesting thanks mate.

If there is current the trick is to cast in the same direction as the current..not against it.

That weed would make an excellent garden fertilizer. You should look it up.
Think u forgot to clip on for the 2nd😊 bait
Cute 🐕
I thought that dog was an intricate sandcastle
Your salmon looks very much like a New Zealand Kahawai...
Same species I believe, if not same, very close cousins. I’m from NSW too and catch a lot of these great sport fish. Also pretty yum too imho
@waxmeatland They are probably the most common and most caught fish in NZ waters. Very under rated fighting fish, very nice in the smoker...

Not the best method for mulloway from the beach imo, interesting to see even the pros struggle. Did this 3 times and packed it in in the past..
You're a better man than me Roger I would of cracked the shit s and gone home good work brother see you next week
