The best way to fish bread is just to take about a 1/4 of a slice of white bread, fold it in half, squeeze all the air out, fold it in half again the other way and squeeze again, then just pin once on a small hook. @@JK-xv3dv If going for mullet or small yakkas, use a smaller bait of course.
Roger I have followed your fishing shows and refreshed much since I am in my late years in Canada. I used to fish in SA and lots of Shad (Taylor, Bluefish) from a very early age. My Dad had taught me to fish and I carrie that to fishing in Cape Cod (USA). Your shows really tempts me to come down to Australia one of these days and maybe meet you on the beach, So keep on doing what you do best and keep me entertained. A big THANK YOU for keeping me refreshed. 🙏🏽🌹🇨🇦
I have used some floats where the line goes around them from the outside (not through the center). It has a small spring loaded hook at the top and bottom to hold the line. Takes seconds to move it up and down for the desired depth..
My Great Grandmother used to make a simple dough and use that as bait whenever she went down to the creek on her handline and always caught plenty of Bream. Couldnt help but think of her when watching your rock fishing video. Love your content and ive been taking plenty of tips, thanks for the great videos! 😄👍🏿
Many years ago, fishing with Dad on the North Coast we would occasionally catch drummer when fishing for Bream of the rocks. They sure put up a fight. Dad always said the drummer were only good for fish cakes and that was only if you didn't catch anything else. Interesting that people say they are good to eat, maybe what we called drummer were a different fish, as I didn't recall them as being good to eat.
Generally they are good eating, rare one is tough. I target them. I either fillet and fry fish finger sized pieces (recommend coconut oil); or bake whole (gutted and gilled) soaked in some coconut milk and spices, with slits in sides to allow to 'marinate'. Not as sweet as blackfish. Silver Drummer are mother-in-law fish. You can eat them, but its a grey meat, strong fishy taste, might be what yr dad meant
This was my first fishing love. Pop introduced me to luderick fishing when I was but a wee little lad, and I have always loved to soak a bit f bread, weed or cunjy under a float off the rocks. I prefer to use a brass ring in place of the swivel. Just what my granddad always used. At times it can pay to clip a couple of small split shot spaced onto the leader just to drag it down a bit better in a choppy wash. Soft white toast is definitely the go. I use it for carp and other freshies as well as in the salt.
An old school bush gentleman. He was amazing to see in the bush, awkward as heck in a city lol. @@RogerOsborneFishing He was a carpenter on Waragamba Dam and stuff back in the day, so a lot of knocking around in the tiger country. He taught me the joys of hunting bass in the freshwater reaches of the Eastern flows, how to spin a mullet bait across a sand flat for big flathead and Mulloway, snaring rabbits for cod bait... um, yeah. Did I mention he was old school? Thanks for all the amazing videos you make mate. I love to watch them for a fix of the coast.
Great video! I grew up in England and would predominantly float fish, trotting to be precise. The closest I’ve seen to that style is how you guys fish for blackfish. We would use the same clear rubber except two pieces and would slide it straight onto the line and then push the top and bottom of the float into the rubber trapping the line. You can slide the float up or down in the same way, the float just doesn’t run. In deep water we’d use 14ft rods as they help with casting and tending the slack line. Again great video mate.
Propblem with sea fishing is that you are probably fishing greater depths and the line stop may be up on your reel for casting. Certainly done the line stop rubber over the float end for coarse fishing
Interesting! In South Africa we use a similar approach with the "Burley." Hope the spelling okay? However, we knead the crusts into a stiffer consistency, add a few drops of cod liver oil, and wrap the bread around a small pebble. Then we chuck a piece in straight ahead, and another two pieces at about 45 degrees left and right. The pebble goes straight to the bottom, the bread dissolves slowly, and the cod liver oil rises through the water column. Also increases the possible target species.
I can't believe you caught that bird like a kite haha. I absolutely love bobber fishing! Seeing the bobber get pulled under is almost as satisfying as fighting a fish. Plus, I love the aesthetic of it and the traditional look to it. Oh yeah and, no snags. I also went to south Australia along a jetty and there was probably about 50 guys fishing and I reckon 100% of them were using floats. I went fishing at Narooma earlier this year and caught a whopper of a bream using a bobber on dusk floating the hook and bait just above the seagrass. Wonderful! I Love fishing so much. 1 year into it now and I am glad I have chosen a recreational activity that I can do even if I make it to 100. I grew up playing video games of fishing and loved it but the real deal like fly fishing and spin fishing is my life now lol.
Hi Roger. Another great video, thanks. Could you consider a video showing how you catch Mullet and other small bait fish? Thanks again. Kind regards MP
Use a light leader (as light as possible, 1 kilo is fine) and a number 12 hook. Fly hooks are good, either with or without a nymph or shrimp tied. A small piece of bread in a crumb trail, dough or a small piece of prawn makes great bait. Remember they are suckers so allow a little slack between float and bait if using a float. This allows them to suck from a distance as is their wont. When free baiting, again, you do not want a tight line before they take the bait. This means, pay attention to what is going on. When they suck a bait in, they will spit it out twice as fast if they suspect something odd about it. Strike fast when you get a take. Yakkas and small slimy macks will take a slightly larger hook aggressively if you keep a slow and steady feed going in a burley stream. Use bread, corn, prawn pieces, fish pieces etc for bait for them, they are not particularly fussy once you get them feeding in a trail.
Thanks again Roger. Love those ice spikes for rock fishing- game changer for me. (btw you put them on upside down (spikes facing into your shoe) @10mins).
Hey Roger. I'm a long time watcher, but first time commenting. I've always loved your content. Your videos are the epitome of KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid, lol. But it works. You are always very informative and a very knowledgeable fisho. I too only use the two knots that you use, as it's all you need. I recall 40 years ago using a basic looped rig, with 3 hooks free on the loop, baited with crust, from the Anglers Omnibus, (Les Firth rig) maybe? Pulled many big bream from the Harrington wall using it, as well as dough. Anyway, keep it up mate, always waiting for your next upload. Happy fishing and tight lines. ✌️
Hey Roger, what about the lenght of your hook side, isn't too short? I mean that perhaps you didn't catch bigger fish because they see the bull, too close tò the hook.. what do you think?
In England, we call that bread flake, and it's mainly used in freshwater. I've caught a decent grey mullet in an Irish harbour on it, though. Great video - I'm envious of the venue (and the country)👍
I guess you could use this technique of a sandy beach on an outgoing tide, but from what I read, that may not be the best part of the tide or maybe an incoming towards a high tide in an estuary?? 75 year old beginner here.. Thanks for your content.
I can reassure you, you are not alone, mate. I have caught a few. And ducks a plenty, a couple of black swans, a pelican or 2 and a mulloway on a seagull that hit the water after taking a sardine bait in the cast. I hate birds! Did I mention the cormorant that took my minnow lure? And fought under, on and above the water like a beast? I really hate birds. But, only while fishing lol.
Hi. Roger. I have a question can you tell me the spike shoes what you wore where can I get it. And what do you call them, what's the brand, and where can I buy one of them.
Thanks for another very useful video. I like the set up for your floating rig. Got to say I`m surprised to see bread used as burly and bait for the smaller specie. I`ve learned something new. Good One!!
Good to see bread used as bait, I've caught many carp using it but never thought to use it in the surf. You may have covered this in another video but are you using braided main line?
Great informative video! Just an FYI to anyone watching in California like myself, it is illegal to chum (using burly with or without bag) for much of the state. There is a small amount of fishery that will allow it so you should check before tossing anything into the water to attract fish.
I love the float fishing over in Northern Ireland and as we fish a lot deeper I use float stops that can go through the rod rings also use another one about 2foot above the lead weight so if I get a break I don’t lose my float but loved the fishing magic !
Waxed fly line and tying your own stops around coffee straws is better cause it can be reeled through your guides and into your reel spool. Try it, you'll love it.
This is what I use and the biggest advantage is setting depths much deeper on a float without a clumsy long section to deal with when reeling in the fish and having a stopper get caught in the tip guide
For these small species, I'd strongly recommend you use a circle hook so you don't lose them trying to set the hook. With a circle hook, the fish sets the hook itself, and has the added benefit of greatly reduced chance of gut hooking your target.
Thanks, this really good basic stuff and I have put my grandson onto your channel to cover the essential knowledge needed to make a start in rock fishing. I just received an email from him letting me know that pelagic species and kingfish are on the bite at a nearby Island. He is catching bonito so the northern bluefin tuna will also be there (a lot more work to actually land one through).
I always see you changing hands after striking and it seems a little cumbersome. I attach my handle on the left side of the reel, as I strike with my right (I'm right handed) and reel with my left to avoid this.
My sister is left-handed like me. She would catch the ball with the glove on her, left hand and remove the glove and then throw the ball. Could you see a professional player do it this way? I cast out with my left hand and real with my right hand. I only throw left-handed and write left-handed. everything else you can think of I do right handed, including kicking the ball right footed
who makes or where can you buy the rock grips? sizes? thanks cost? nice video love the lifejacket! and bread. Have you made shrimp sandwiches with a ground up prawn mixed in the dough?
I make a "bread dough" with a bit of sardine in oil mixed in with it for drummer (I chase the big silver drummer just for the fight) and fish it under a burley float..., NEVER fails (Biggest drummer was 10.5lb 🥰).
Roger I am on the St Lawrence River some where south of Montreal and Ottawa. ( Incidently good fishing water Quite a mix of species. eEnjoy your show honest straight forward fishing , certainly an interesting adventure watching your show 👁️👁️✨💫❗
Greetings from India!!!! Very good & very useful indeed!!!! Dude how about doing everything the same but with two hooks, one for bread and other one with shrimp. Just a curious thought!!!
A warning about rock spikes. Where I live, the coastline is mostly Granite. Rock spikes, including (especially) rock fishing boots are likely to kill you. The spikes slide on the granite like ice skates.
Good video Roger, all the basics covered there 👍🏻. I would have done the opposite to you after having caught that keeper. With the run-out tide, I would have “shallowed up” my float, berleyed up again and lobbed my bait back where I pulled the fish - you had already found the fish, no need to go prospecting, but that’s just me and that’s fishing Cheers 👍🏻
Hey, Great video! I noticed in your gear list you have "Shimano Nasci C500 Spinning Reel" but I can't find any reference to that anywhere... Is that correct?
A running float stopper that can go though into your rod runners would be another good option as you could adjust to deeper depths. Your from Ulladulla NSW South Coast .....that's paradise mate! PS: Do you know a young guy called Josh d fishing? as I haven't seen him in a while..
Greetings Roger, new sub from San Diego in California. Just looking for new ways to present my plastic baits to highly-pressured, overfished waters. My bass are getting very picky when fishing from shore. They follow my moving baits to shore and then see me, and turn around back to deeper waters. It's like they recognize the size and shapes of humans.

Good to see he's wearing a vest as well not to many rock fishermen do thanks for the great advice
Great to watch another video,and I compliment you and your viewers on the open and friendly interaction
Roger, you have done it again, it was only today I was researching using floats of the rocks and here you are!
If you mix a little sand in your bread burly mix it gets it under the water quicker and the birds don’t pinch as much.
Yes, and a bit of cookig or tuna oil helps to keep it together whilst spreading out and it spreads the smell and the trail better.
Thanks for the tip!
Good to know!

Drummer are not to bad to eat alot better then so called good eating fish.
They have a fat line you have to get rid off along the top of the gut cavity.

I’ve used split shot rather than a classic sinker in estuary and river fishing for black fish, and harvest smooth weed from rock pools as bate
I do the same. And Cunjy
I went out to dee why this morning to get what I need at low...little did I know!monster swell this morning 😮

Nitro fuel line would work great for the rubber stopper, most hobby shops have it.

Do you ever let the tide take it way out
I love the float fishing over in Northern Ireland and as we fish a lot deeper I use float stops that can go through the rod rings also use another one about 2foot above the lead weight so if I get a break I don’t lose my float but loved the fishing magic !
Thanks Stephen, Hi from Australia
Thank you Roger.. very informative .. ❤❤
Great mate try a cirgle hook so you would just wait for the fish to swallow the hook an they dont gut hook the fish
thanks for teaching me how to set up with your full experience. great
Waxed fly line and tying your own stops around coffee straws is better cause it can be reeled through your guides and into your reel spool. Try it, you'll love it.
This is what I use and the biggest advantage is setting depths much deeper on a float without a clumsy long section to deal with when reeling in the fish and having a stopper get caught in the tip guide

Can you cast the tubing stopper through your guides or is the depth you can set the tubing stopper limited by the legth of the rod?
Could you use this method to fish in shallow rivers?
Yes Mick you could, I have plenty of times.
The art of float fishing is having the bait at the right depth. I need to learn how to do this.
For these small species, I'd strongly recommend you use a circle hook so you don't lose them trying to set the hook. With a circle hook, the fish sets the hook itself, and has the added benefit of greatly reduced chance of gut hooking your target.
Hi Roger, many thanks for the video! Would it benefit to also put a small bit of rubber tube between the sinker and the swivel, to protect the knot?
Yes, absolutely
🎣 I put a (dull) white plastic bead on mainline after the sliding sinker, to protect my knot on my hook trace swivel 🎣
FYI...that's silicone rubber tubing. It stays supple and flexible essentially forever, but has very low rigidity.
Hey Roger great video and techniques 👍🏻 what area are you in ????
Ulladulla South Coast NSW
I think Roger is good teacher and also good father of him sons very much beautiful behavior ❤️
Roger, I thought we are going to have fried chicken tonight!!!! That bird catch was epic😂😊👍🎣
How did you adjust the placement of the float if you had the rubber tubing stopping its movement?
You move the rubber tubing up or down the line
Thanks, this really good basic stuff and I have put my grandson onto your channel to cover the essential knowledge needed to make a start in rock fishing.

Its nice to see you have a life jacket on. Those waves look kinda scary.
I always see you changing hands after striking and it seems a little cumbersome.
I attach my handle on the left side of the reel, as I strike with my right (I'm right handed) and reel with my left to avoid this.
That’s how they set up most reels in the US.
I'm right handed. For me I just can't wind left handed. Switching hands is almost automatic.
My sister is left-handed like me. She would catch the ball with the glove on her, left hand and remove the glove and then throw the ball. Could you see a professional player do it this way? I cast out with my left hand and real with my right hand. I only throw left-handed and write left-handed. everything else you can think of I do right handed, including kicking the ball right footed
Always found bread a difficult bait as it never seems to stay on the hook for more than a minute or 2. Will have a go at your hooking method
Thank king, i learn a lot..
another great video. thanks roger! were you peeling or leaving the prawns whole on the rocks?
I was peeling them Mark
I will try bread next time I go fishing thanks for your sharing Roger
who makes or where can you buy the rock grips? sizes? thanks cost? nice video love the lifejacket! and bread. Have you made shrimp sandwiches with a ground up prawn mixed in the dough?
Hi Nancy, the brand of spikes is Icon, I bought them at the Compleat Angler Ulladulla for about $50
Is the drummer a good eater, Roger. Caught and fried some couple months ago. I think they are some sort of mushy. What is the best way to cook them?
Drummer is one of my favorite fish to eat. Just pan fried in a beer batter, beautiful clean white flesh.
Thank you for an extremely interesting and informative video.
Needed this 😊
How to make bait bucket
I make a "bread dough" with a bit of sardine in oil mixed in with it for drummer (I chase the big silver drummer just for the fight) and fish it under a burley float..., NEVER fails (Biggest drummer was 10.5lb 🥰).
Thanks Gary, Sounds great!

Hi George, thanks for your comment, much appreciated. Hello from Australia!
Use the improved uni on the swivel, and fg not on the braid to flouro, almost 100% rating.
Thanks Roger a great tutorial and right up my alley as this is a style of fishing I enjoy.
Glad to hear it
Greetings from India!!!!
Very good & very useful indeed!!!!
Dude how about doing everything the same but with two hooks, one for bread and other one with shrimp.
Just a curious thought!!!
Interesting idea., Will do soon
@@RogerOsborneFishing hi again... Thanks for your reply and acknowledgement. Goodluck - Cheers
A warning about rock spikes. Where I live, the coastline is mostly Granite. Rock spikes, including (especially) rock fishing boots are likely to kill you. The spikes slide on the granite like ice skates.
Great video, Roger have you ever put the line through the float twice, just as you did with the stopper ? This way you may not need a stopper !!
That may work Peter, but it is a lot neater using a rubber stopper.
Sir can i rig a rubber shrimp on float
Roger have you tried microwaving bread older than a day with maybe a water-soaked tea towel over it to refresh the bread for stickiness?
Hi Terry no I haven't tried this. I usually keep the bread in the freezer (if I don't use it all) and seems to keep it fresh
Good video Roger, all the basics covered there 👍🏻. I would have done the opposite to you after having caught that keeper. With the run-out tide, I would have “shallowed up” my float, berleyed up again and lobbed my bait back where I pulled the fish - you had already found the fish, no need to go prospecting, but that’s just me and that’s fishing

I noticed in your gear list you have "Shimano Nasci C500 Spinning Reel" but I can't find any reference to that anywhere... Is that correct?
No, I use the Nasci as a light beach fishing reel.

A running float stopper that can go though into your rod runners would be another good option as you could adjust to deeper depths. Your from Ulladulla NSW South Coast .....that's paradise mate!
PS: Do you know a young guy called Josh d fishing? as I haven't seen him in a while..
Greetings Roger, new sub from San Diego in California. Just looking for new ways to present my plastic baits to highly-pressured, overfished waters. My bass are getting very picky when fishing from shore. They follow my moving baits to shore and then see me, and turn around back to deeper waters. It's like they recognize the size and shapes of humans.
