Great video and topic to cover Roger. The cost of fishing can be prohibitive for some, even when they might have the required gear but can't justify spending additional money on bait. So, showing people how they can forage for natural baits and without spending extra cash still catch a feed for themselves and/or their families is a wonderful service you're doing..... especially in these increasingly trying economic times. Plus, catching/collecting bait can be a fun and relaxing part of the overall fishing experience.
Thanks Trent It is very enjoyable collecting your own bait and there are some excellent baits out there. In addition, you can catch a small fish using one bait and then use the fillets to catch bigger fish.
@@RogerOsborneFishing Absolutely! I think, too, that you often feel a greater sense of achievement when you catch or collect your own bait and then trade up to something you can make a meal from. Tight lines mate.
Roger Osborne, my favorite fishing teacher, in my opinion, one of the best there is, watched and watching all of your videos, no wonder the best fishing company in the world SHIMANO is your sponsor, much love, from Israel !
Thanks Roger , that's true sometimes we just run out of baits before the end of the day and turn back to home unwillingly so this film of yours really taught alot... Thanks again buddy. Love from Balochistan
Right Roger, - Thanks for your natural bait collection video! We have similarities here in SA too! 🎣 We have reef fish species that eat seaweed growth on rocks. Your Cunjevoi or Cunje shortened, is an Aboriginal name! It is the same as our Red bait which grows in leather like pods! Out red bait has an unusual really strong smell! Some anglers let it "mature" outside!, for a few days to make it attractive to fish and less attractive to us! 🙂 Alot of it also washes out after stormy seas here. The fresh red bait is firm, orange color, which fish also like! It also grows in rivers, adhering to rocks, walls, jetty structure etc, but not far inland. They are paler in color and softer. Some of us slice the pods open where they grow, and scoop the flesh out like you showed! We have worms in some areas and sand mussels. Sand, cracker and mud prawns too! Razor clams are in some areas in rivers. Oysters on rocks with other shell creatures. Octopus too, and a smaller species, - cuttlefish which has short tentacles, in rivers. That's a short description and SA anglers that emigrated to Australia know this and more! 🎣 On the USA west coast around Oregon etc, the sand mussels and razor clams get much bigger! They must be good bait there too! 🎣
Awesome video Roger. Here in South Africa we call Cunjevoi Red Bait. After curing, there is little on this planet that has a worse smell, but also little that works as good for catching Bream. 😁
@@RogerOsborneFishing Hi, yes we use "cunjevoi"/white mussel/beach worm and what you guys call yabbies to target all our inshore reef species. Our red bait has a bit different colour (orange/redish) and works best if it is "matured" 🤣🤢 for a couple of days. The smell is enough to... well, lets just say the smell is bad, but it is prime bait.
Hey mate great videos. Do you have a video where you show how to put all these different baits on a hook so they don't come off easily? If not there's an idea for you maybe?
Any people reading the comments that may be new to it should try salting baits like cunji, prawns, any fish flesh and even things like crabs. Makes them tougher and they last longer out in the sun before going bad.
@@Sunny45553 There's plenty regards wild harvesting that's illegal in many countries. This is because the earth's massive human population is unsustainable and if we don't control access to the remaining natural resources they will be gone very fast.

Hi Michael thanks for your time to write your comment. I appreciate learning about South Africa.
smartest video on fishing ive found. absolutely essential.
Glad you think so!
Awesome video Roger. Here in South Africa we call Cunjevoi Red Bait. After curing, there is little on this planet that has a worse smell, but also little that works as good for catching Bream. 😁
Hi Fishing Bru. Great to hear from you. Amazing to know that you have it in South Africa too. Do you target Bream with Red Bait (cunjevoi)?

@@FishingBruZA haha I can sympathise with the smell, our dogs often love to roll in it when it gets washed up on the beach 😭
I'm interested, are Bream in SA similar?
Hello Sir Osborne, Rommel Abinales Diaz here from Philippines 🇵🇭.
Nice video. Good idea. Metal lures like Kastmaster work too for ocean fishing. No bait needed. 😊
Very true! I have discussed lures in my first Food Shortages video. They should be an essential part of everyone's kit.
What knife are you using?
Hey mate great videos. Do you have a video where you show how to put all these different baits on a hook so they don't come off easily?
If not there's an idea for you maybe?
Helpful Thanks 😊.
Very good 👍👍👍👍👍
aha, my favourite to catch, luderick and drummer.
Sand crab: a terrestrial crab AKA ghost crab.
Tnx for your video! Can you tell us how to put a soft bait as for example oister to put on your hook? When I trow, it falls off.....
Try using some *elastic bait thread* to wrap around soft baits to hold it in place.
Greetings from Dubai.
Thanks Roger, nice video as usual.
Do you have any videos showing how to use these baits properly.
Hello Dubai 😊 Not at this stage but I will do.
@@RogerOsborneFishing Apreciated
thanks for video. thanks for knowledge. what kind of natural baits (or assistant bait) can you recommend for catching MULLET. ( i use translate)
Mullet will eat small pieces of Prawn or Squid. Otherwise, the best bait is bread or dough made with flour.
Love it 🤙fellow bait fisher

Thought they were illegal to collect. Back in the the early 80,s at Long Reef they banned the collection of cungi .
Nothing is illegal about catching your own food in every country
@@Sunny45553 Mind your own business

Hardest thing with oysters is to not eat the bait ! Been guilty of that a few times i can tell you !
Yes, Ian I was tempted when making the video!
Sea snot
Lures or soft plastics instead of bait.
Soft plastic
I have had a nasty experience eating caught oysters and my workmate nearly died from contaminated bought oysters from Forster, I think.
Cunjevoi .. good bait, but makes your hands stink.
Greenn weed and sea lettuce are different
Yep, that's what he said.
