Hey Roger, great video as usual. I always looking forward your Saturday content. 😊 In your last couple of videos you mentioned that you cought some squid. It would be great if you could dedicate a video or a part of a video on how you catch them. Thanks.
Visiting from Canada my son lives in Brisbane Australia, we caught plenty of fish over the years in Canada, he’s been in Australia for 17 years, with little fishing success.

Just found your channel. So glad I did! I love fishing but never really learned how to. Nobody in my family did so no dad or uncle to learn me the ropes. I’m in my fifties now and I’m going to give it another go, armed with great videos from my “new fishing buddy in my pocket”! Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I’m sure most will be applicable where I live, Cape Town, South Africa.
Halo from South Africa. I think I have spent too much time watching your videos and too little time on the beach. But I have much to learn about fishing and I am really learning so much from you. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us.
Hi Roger and Bec. Thanks for sharing another fishing adventure. I love watching you catch fish. However, I really appreciate the way you explain the beach structure, how the tide is flowing, what the conditions are like and how to prospect for fish. All the tips that you have shared have helped me personally and so many other people to catch fish off the beach. And I am very grateful. Here is a suggestion for the blue bottle problem. I take a pair of wetsuit pants and surf boots with me to the beach because the water in Vic is so cold. Maybe this could help you to avoid being stung. Once again thank you. Kind regards MP
Thanks Roger, I'm really enjoying watching your videos as I am having a knee replacement and can't do my usual fishing for a month or so. Great fishing trip.
I lived in Bondi a while ago & was very suprised to catch so much on Bondi beach. The best was 6 species one evening on a rising tide. Just make sure the surfers have left first! I saw an old guy get a HUGE jewie & be annoyed as he just wanted some time out & now he had to go home , clean the fish & watch tele with wife, Grumpy old bugger.
G Day Rodger. Been following your interesting videos from the days of you living on the northern beaches.It was plainly obvious some time ago you moved to the beautiful south coast. How we haven't crossed paths up to this point is quite amazing. 50 years of what was once priority to surfing with fishing on the odd day in this truly special area, to now more fishing than surfing as the years have worn out body parts! It's with total respect for you the way you handled the identity of the areas you fish. It's probably from the old days of secret surf spots that made me shudder when I know exactly where you are fishing in many (if not all your videos). Im happy to share all the areas I fish, but there are times (holiday periods ) that I personally go into hiding and wait for quite times. As for the hours spent chasing the elusive Jew fish ? Join the club! like you, small soapies are about, but that 20kg + brute just never seems play to my plans. Again thanks for your efforts you put into presenting your videos , I find them very enjoyable. PS There is one sneaking little bolthole that I can call up some superb Drummer that I don't share with other anglers! Sorry
🎣 here in SA on the east cape coast, when the east wind blows, the water gets colder and the blue bottles and jellyfish wash ashore and into rivers,! 🎣
I'm loving your videos Roger, watching them on repeat all day. I second twilight fishing, love fishing for freshwater blackfish and trout in west gippsland on dark.
Was off the rocks there all last week using tactics from your previous videos….amazing spot, heap of species & took home plenty of tailor for the family for dinner 🤤
Another fantastic video.. Just a thought, I fish at collaroy beach and blue bottles can be a hastle, i carry an old tracksuit bottom and an old pair of thick socks with my pants tucked into the socks. Now im not getting stung and stand in the water with confidence. As i said, just a thought. I always keep them in the boot of the car in case
It's interesting where you fished, and obviously you caught a lot of fish, as If I was to fish on that beach for the first time I would have never chosen that spot , as in to me it doesn't look like a good gutter, very interesting. Great vid Roger.
Another good and much needed video (since I am not a morning person casting out at dawn)! I find especially helpful how you mark the spots where you cast! Wearing tabis (felt or rubber bottom neoprene booties) should take care of any 'jellies' concerns.
Thanks Roegr - another great session. Nice whiting catch 🏆 I was sure that you were going to get stung by the bluebottles on the sand - especially as it started to get dark.
Another great video with great fish. Do them in never fail batter!! I have found vinegar helps with blue bottles. One thing I like about the beach is the happy people. I have only ever found one, an English lady who berated me on Pottsville Beach for fishing on sacred ground!!. Your tip about skinning squid has helped with whiting and bream bites. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your fishing sessions and showing us how it is done. I'm keen to have a got at the beach fishing around Sunshine and Gold Coast. Could you please show us how you catch the squid!
Hi Roger, can you still be stung by Blue bottle tentacles even when they are dead or been up on the beach for quite some time. Keep up the great work. Cheers
Hey Roger warn folks about wading too deep I had a couple run ins with shark where common, they might go on the menu for the evening.... Just a thought.. but on CAPE COD USA it has guite a possibility due to an unprecedented increase in grey seal population..... By the way your show is the possibly most enjoyable fishing show going in the USA market, probably because of your relaxed knowledgeable demeanor and Australia's clean beautiful nature. Exotic yet familiar.the beauty of your continent is amazing I am sort of surprised your government hasn't realized your venue would really increase adventure tourism fishing . I can't imagine them not comprehending that especially those who need to relax ... I think it would be a real draw💲💲💲💲💲💲I neglected to mention bull sharks I have seen those cruise beaches in the middle of the day virtually on the beach .
Thanks Rodger, it was a top video I lobe the beach outfit advice I’m just getting into it do you prefer a particular weighted rod and material I find the one I have a little stiff it’s a graphite 10 ft and I have a Penn wrath 15 ft rod which had great feel but is really heavy could you go through your reel brand and preferences on reel size Minimum for beach Thanks mate very informative as alwause mate thanks
Another great video Roger, I’m hanging out to get back down to the beach and apply your tips. Question: how many different reel/rod combos do you have? Just that I’ve noticed several different line setups. Also, would you consider a squid catching video? Would be keen to get tips on that, how and where.
Thanks Roger, absolutely love the videos. Learning new things every time I watch. I’m on the Gold Coast, and I must say the hardest thing I find is dealing with the swell. Every time I watch you fish you hardly have any waves you have to battle against. Any advice? Thanks mate, keep posting!
I often choose places that are protected from the prevailing swell, or I wait until the swell is 1m or less. It would be a bit harder on the Gold Coast because you have long stretches of beach. I would fish the southern ends of your beaches near the headlands.
Thanks for another interesting video Roger. Your two hook/sliding star sinker rig has been working for me since I tried it based on your vids. Do you ever fish braid off the beach?
Another enjoyable and informative session! Why do you not use circle hooks on your set line, considering they're designed to let the fish catch themselves?
Hi Roger. Danie from George, Garden Route, SA. I am really enjoying your videos, especially your sense of humor and friendly chuckle after a comical incident. My visitor's visa has been issued and I am flying from South Africa on 17 May for a 3 month visit to the Sunshine Coast. Definitely, I am going to use your techniques and my son in law's gear. Thanks again for the excellent presentations.
Dear roger It took me few hours to find out your locations but it was 4 or 5 hour drive from Sydney and I don't want to drive that long distance just to catch bream, whiting, salmon.
Hi Roger. Probably have missed you for a comment but it would be nice to know the weight/size of those star sinkers and how you choose them for the conditions. Cheers Scott
Great video as usual!!🎥 just wondering what weight sinker you cast on your 10ft Maikuro. I purchased the same rod about a month ago and I can’t find a good all round sinker weight. Keep up the great work🎣🏝️🌊🐟
I also forgot my rod holder on Conjola beach last week. My rod was a huge thing my dad bought in the 1970s. I left it in the skip bin at the caravan park. I ordered a new Assassin 12ft rod when I got home.
Great vid Roger as usual! 💙 I fished Windang beach last weekend on the new moon, terrible conditions with the wind and the blue bottles. Worked hard for 1 bream and 2 whiting. Anyway was wondering do you think that the blue bottles put the beach worms off? I couldn’t raise 1 worm in amongst all those stingers. Normally I get worms on this beach especially in the new moon phase where you get an extra metre of beach to worm on. Your thoughts would be appreciated. 👍
Good stuff as usual Roger. Just a heads up though that it might end in heartbreak using ganged hooks to target mulloway. Have had one occasion of landing a mulloway and the bottom two gangs were gone, and another where the fish was lost and again still had the top hook left. I think they are able to spread the eyes on the hooks as they pop their mouths trying to shake free. Much better to go a snelled rig
please can you advise on a method of keeping mosquitoes from trying to suck the life out of you,when your trying to fish at late afternoon at tylight, here in richards bay, its impossible to fish just at sun set . they seem to be impervious to tabard or any other sprays.
🎣 try rubbing Vicks on , mosquitoes don't like the scent,! ... I am in PE bay,! (SA) 🎣 Maybe fine coffee powder just made damp to rub on,!?!... I have seen a video of a home made candle, coffee was used in water mix, cooking oil on top, the wick thru a hole in bottle top; the mosquitoes don't like the scent,! ...
Hey Roger love your content. A couple of quick questions. When your secondary rod is in the rod holder how loose should you set the drag? Also when a large fish comes and bites or starts to take line on the secondary rod, should you tighten your drag and then strike or strike immediately?
Hey Roger, love your work. I heard in this video what your smaller setup was, but can you please tell me what size rod & reel you are using on the larger setup? I recently picked up a 12’ three piece rod, and want to pair it with the right sized reel for some larger species off the beach 🐟
I've caught good fish in the evening. But I always find I do better on Stockton beach from about 11 at night to just before the sun comes up when there's no one around. The idiots with the big fog lights driving along the beach scare the fish. But at those hour there's not a person to be seen
To increase your hook up rate put on a second split ring above the hook when using single or treble hooks is stops the fish using leverage to throw the hook. You can also use a braided link instead of split rings this totally takes away the fishes ability to leverage. Use an assist hook or pair of hooks on the hook end of the lure. Use an assist hook or pair of hooks on the line end of the lure, this will most definitely increase your hook up rate. When the fish are feeding heavily on bait fish they tend to suck in or inhale the bait due to the amount of food in the area instead of hitting it hard when chasing a single meal. This is where an assist hook or stinger can out catch conventional single or treble hooks as a 30g lure is much heavier that the bait fish they are feeding on and are unable to sack it in. They will not have this problem with braided assist hooks.

@@RogerOsborneFishing wasn't a bad catch of fish thought Roger
I wanted to ask, you talk about fishing twilight? Is this on an incoming tide or does it not matter what the tide is doing?
You made another video about high tide being best, so is tide or time the best.
Hi Geoff, both have an impact. When you have high tide on sunset it is very good!
That's a 'John West' Whiting the bait the Bream rejected.
To increase your hook up rate put on a second split ring above the hook when using single or treble hooks is stops the fish using leverage to throw the hook.
You can also use a braided link instead of split rings this totally takes away the fishes ability to leverage.
Use an assist hook or pair of hooks on the hook end of the lure.
