When I fish with two rods, I tend to use “circle hooks” on the rod which I am not intending to angle with. I have to say, on most occasions, the fish will hook itself in the corner of their jaw when using circle hooks which aids in easy release or de hooking. Love your videos Roger, very informative and no one is that well schooled in fishing not to learn something from these. Thanks for sharing.
I do the same. Circle hooks self hook. Also can take any favorite hook you already have and side bend it to make them less inline and the fish self hooks also.
I am a beginner but watching couple of your videos made me more confident in choosing baits and fishing. I just came here accidentally after losing 2 kilos of salmon while pulling out of the water a week ago. Haha I WAS TRYING TO PULL THAT GUY AGGRESSIVELY WITH ALL OF MY EFFORT WHICH WAS WRONG.
Hi Roger, I have been fishing for almost 40 years in Sri Lanka and many other countries. Lately I have been watching your videos and tips on TH-cam. They are very informative and interesting. Just want to thank you, please continue these fine TH-cam videos on your vast knowledge. Thank you !!
just to add to my last comments.Roger, in this country, most guys go fish in surf with big ,big, sticks and try to hit you fella's on the head. you have opened my eyes to beach fishing with less than 14 foot sticks. now i carry less gear around.
I have a crook back and neck. I use a 9 or 8 foot rod on the beach with a long pipe. My end eye is still ten foot or so off the beach. But heaps less draining holding it or winding in big fish.
@@Alberthoward3right9up How far are you able to cast the 9 footer? I've got one recently and haven't been able to cast it far enough to make for good beach fishing. Not sure if it's my casting skill or the rod! Haha
@@kev8646 I use braid with a nylon leader. Also my nine footer has a solid tip. Those two things help greatly i think. But I'd say 50 60 + meters with a decent sized running sinker and a bit of blue bait with two hooks in it. I also put a hitch with two twists over my tail of my bluebait. So it dont get pulled from the hooks during cast and it helps it go a bit further.
I would love to see more of the fish being taken care of once you catch it and also how you fillet it. Different types need to be prepared differently.
thanks for the lesson on when a fish is biting on the line will keep a memo for my next fishing trip coz my dad and I do rock fishing when I come and visit him🤙
Was just on the northern beach of where you are last week and got stuck into some quality bluespot flathead and salmon just wish I thought of it earlier not on our last day there 😂
Another great video Roger I've watched every episode.. I'd love to stumble across you on a fishing trip so I could have a fish and chat with you . Top bloke 👍
Hi Roger Osborne. Can you please show us how to secure a bait crab onto a rig. I've heard of using small crabs for bait but never been shown how to use them correctly.
Break off a leg put the hook in the hole where the leg broke then thru the belly. And if you want extra security use the leg as a stopper. (Push the barb thru the leg shell and out the other side) gidos fishing adventures uses the for groper if you want a visual
Hi, I agree with Albert but I always remove the top shell of the crab to expose the flesh. I tend to use crabs whole, even larger ones because I want to catch big Groper
Hey Roger been watching all your video's and will put to practice when I move to Huskinson's area hope there salmon there and cook it the way you done on one of your cooking salmon , beer batter I think it was. Anyhow great video as always.
Hello Mr Osborne, I just watched the video. Thank you a video that helps me like all the others because beginner and passionate about fishing at sea with easy techniques. Could you please introduce us the techniques of the SABIKI RIG FISHING I like because it allows to catch fish easily for beginners who want to start. Thank you, Mr Osborne.
Recently had my three piece carbon fibre rod stuck together. How am I going to get it apart and into the car? Sterile gloves and two people are needed. The heat can swell the male section. The cold can shrink the female section. Running the stuck joint under a cold tap helps. Don't use hot water, you can wreck the varnish and the binding. Many pages devoted to this on YT. How to prevent this? Even better. Rub a lead pencil on the male section, all around, up and down before you join up the sections. It works a treat. Keeps the sections straight and comes apart without much ado.
Excellent advice there, thanks Roger. 👍 I’ve noticed another kind of pull on the line: The line pulls sideways, and then go “twang” as it releases. Like someone strumming a guitar string. I think it is seaweed doing that… Am I right?
Thank you Roger. I enjoy watching your videos which are very practical. It's really great of you to share your knowledge of fishing skills. Much appreciated 🙏
I’ve fished with my finger on the line for over forty years now. Unless I’m using lures of course, but live bait finger on the line. If I’m using a float. I use enough weight to give the float kind of a negative bouncy. So the fish doesn’t feel the weight until he takes the bait, and the float is extremely sensitive showing the tiniest touch. I use small sinker(s) about 12-18 inches above the bait, (I use triple and double bb split shot for this smallest above the bait then slightly larger about six inches apart towards the float) and a heavier weight 6-12 inches below the float to create that negative bouncy. I use a needle to put a tiny amount of an air bubble in the bait to get it above anything like weeds or mossy stuff on the bottom. Water pressure will make the air go out, and the deeper the quicker too. Happy trails!
Hi Roger and Gday from sunny Queensland , top vid this one , i am not keen on bottom fishing cos of all the unwanted catch , i much prefer middle and top water fishing , cheers
Hi thank u for the video i am new to surf fishing and will use these tips on my next fishing day in two days....personally i am using 3/0 circle hooks and have caught a 30kg cob on it and the fish bit exactly as u said the way salmon do
Hi Roger 😊 Just discovered your channel three weeks ago. Thanks for taking the time out to help educate us all on how to catch fish from the beach. I’m going to try the worm rigs you use regularly. Can you let me know what size long shank hooks you use and also on your other video with pilchards what size the little top hook is please. I love the way you make sea fishing more affordable to us by giving us ideas on tubing for beach rod holders and using little gear as possible. Can’t wait to have a go and catch for the family table. ❤
Very helpful, thanks! I was on a pier today, realise now I was trying to set the hook too early, when feeling the nibbles. I kept having my bait picked off, does that mean I had too large of hooks for the situation? Also, when you are keeping the fish to eat how are you dispatching them, bleeding them?
Heading south during the school break and planning to do a bit of fishing so watching you catch salmon is exciting. Do you mind including how you bleed an australian salmon in one of your next videos? Thought you'd feature it in your previous video but obviously didn't.
Hello Roger! Thank you for the information regarding today's video.I really enjoy watching your videos because as a beginner you provide me with the necessary tools in order for me to catch fish. My question would be: do these techniques in today's video apply to rock fishing?
Hi Roger thank you for some great beach fishing video/ fishing North Sea beach myself on calm sunny day’s can you tell me what your casting weight is on your 10 feet rod. I would like to change my fishing style from heavy to light gear fishing because of lower back problems . So iam like to start out with a 10 feet light spinning rod 35- 80 gram for beach fishing any tips wood be welcome
Hi Roger, I have the same 10ft rod (×2) that you use. I am new to beach fishing. Do you find the extra 2 foot for your 2nd rod that you tend to set and forget essential? Do I need a 12ft rod or do you think I can get away with the 2 10 footers on most occasions? Thanks for the awesome videos, I am learning so much from you. Stephen.
Robbie, I always used mono for decades and caught heaps of fish. I use fluorocarbon leader at the moment but I don't think it makes that much difference. I prefer mono off the beach
10/10 Roger. i would put it to you this way? your program is the best!! you walk a person through each stage of what you are trying to explane. i dont even bother about our south african you tube videos they are more about the pro mo`s and they dont explain the tackle or baits used,or water conditions. keep up the good works.
Roger, I bought a packet of Bite Science Twitch worms to try. On the packet it says to use 1/16 oz Jughead and a 1/0 hook. Does this mean I can't use them as set bait? I thought when it said worms that twitch I could use them like beach worms.?
Thanks for another informative video Roger. I will certainly re think my strategy next time I beach fish. Out of curiosity do you ever use soft plastic worms for bait. I am curious if they work as well as the beach worms.
Hi Roger, Is the light surf rod you use in the video a 10ft or the 10ft 6-inch rod in the Maikuru 2 range? The action of the rod looks great. I'm from South Australia and have learnt a lot. Thank you for your videos Roger.
Hi roger I’m going beach fishing on the weekend and I’m getting confused with all the different rig set up’s 😂 I was just going to run the stinger rig setup I’m just wondering if you use the the big star sinker on that set up or just a normal round sinker I was also wondering if you use worms on this rig as well
Hi Roger, I think you should change the name of your channel to: "The Salmon King", taking into account the fact that you are catching Salmon in most of your videos, lol, you seem to be a Salmon magnet... Also, I would like to ask a question: I live in Israel, and mostly do beach fishing or rock fishing in the Mediterranean, and we have much less fish than in Australia, and different kinds of fish, do you have any advice on how to fish more successfully in the Mediterranean? Best bait? Best Rig? I normally listen to your advice about sunrise and sunset, I either use your methods of "The best Rig in the world", the 3 ganged hooks, or the 2 hooks and a sinker. We used to have beach worms many years ago, no so much in past few years, so I either use a small live fish, caught by float and bread, or frozen bought prawns, or Salted chicken breast, or dried worms, and with not much success! Rock fishing with a float and bread is the most effective and successful fishing method here if I want to go home with a nice meal, but it's mostly small fish, palm size or a bit bigger. Thanks a lot in advance, Eran from Israel.
Hi Eran, It would be helpful if I had an idea of the sort of terrain that you are fishing in. Using berley to attract fish to your location always works very well here. The big thing in locating fish is understanding how and where they feed
@@RogerOsborneFishing Thanks a lot for the reply, our beach is mostly sandy and not too deep, it get to 2 meters deep, or 7 feet at about 100 meters from the shore line (about 300 feet) so if I'm casting from the shore or go in a bit, I'll be 2 or 3 meters deep. Not to many rocks on the coast line but there are some rocky areas and plenty of fishing docks (more like paved wave breakers) which will put me In that 100 m spot, and I cast another 80 m approximately. I normally use bread as Berley and I never tried using fish like sardines or mullet as Berley. I think our water's temperature is too high in the summer here in Israel and in the Mediterranean in general, 29 degrees Celsius, which is probably why the big fish aren't coming closer to shore. When I fish near the rocks of the wave breaker I get lots of small fish, sometimes even a red grouper on shrimp or prawns, or big mullet on a floating pita bread trap (10 hooks around the pita bread, no sinker) but to catch the really nice fish like Whiting or bream or bass, it's like a miracle that happens only once in a while, to all the fishermen around here. I can't afford a boat or a canoe, and I love beach fishing, but I sometimes think I should only use my 8 meter plane rod with a float from the rocks, otherwise I'll go Home with no fish. Fishing successfully here is much harder than in Australia, I have loads of professional gear, just not the right ocean.
Great video again, I would like to go fishing with u one day and learn more from u,but I live in Melbourne hopefully one day and amazing presentation and full on entertainment ,always great to watch ur videos ,keeping coming more more

I use circle hooks on my in the holder rod too. I usually throw a lure with my second rod it just is less boring to me.

Could you please introduce us the techniques of the SABIKI RIG FISHING I like because it allows to catch fish easily for beginners who want to start.

Hi Gino, Sabiki Rigs have specific applications. I only ever use them to catch small bait fish. I have never used one off the beach
Hello Mr Osborne, okay thank you.
I use them by dragging them on the bottom.
Thank you😎🙋♂️

Thanks a lot. Great to hear from you.
Its great to hear somebody loves eating salmon , keep up the great work Roger!
Thanks

Great content Roger. Thanks!! Very useful here.
My pleasure!
Hi Roger,
What are your thoughts on circle hooks? I note that you don't seem to use them. I always enjoy you videos. Cheers.
Hi im gonna be beach fishing soon didnt know when to hook. This is very helpful. Thanks Roger.
Glad to help

Sure Brian 👌
Love it 🤙
Roger that crab boiled in the sea water tastes better than any fish, I would never sacrafice one for bait. hahahaha.
Hi Rodger , Just wondering what fish to be careful with when removing hook in case of getting stung or spiked whatever?
Hello Roger! Thank you for the information regarding today's video.I really enjoy watching your videos because as a beginner you provide me with the necessary tools in order for me to catch fish. My question would be: do these techniques in today's video apply to rock fishing?

No problem 👍
No problem 👍
great stuff an you doing a good job
Much appreciated
Is the river exit blocked. Haven't been there in many years but looks like where I use to fish
Yes it is at the moment
roger, please advise on what type of line to use in surf conditions?? i come from old school, mono filiment. my hook up rate is not so hot on surf.
I use braid with mono rigs. No stretch and heaps more sensitive bites wise and fun fight. Heaps better casting distance too.
Robbie, I always used mono for decades and caught heaps of fish. I use fluorocarbon leader at the moment but I don't think it makes that much difference. I prefer mono off the beach
Another good video Roger, could you spend some time talking about your rods, reels and tackle?
Sure thing
Thank you.
.
You're welcome
Its not about the fight in the line/rod, its about the fight in the fish. Lost rigs that I thought were more than enough😢
10/10 Roger. i would put it to you this way? your program is the best!! you walk a person through each stage of what you are trying to explane. i dont even bother about our south african you tube videos they are more about the pro mo`s and they dont explain the tackle or baits used,or water conditions. keep up the good works.
Thanks Robbie
I was wondering how do you put crab on the hook?
Hi Roger- what rods are you using? I'd like to get the rod & reel combo you're using
Roger, I bought a packet of Bite Science Twitch worms to try. On the packet it says to use 1/16 oz Jughead and a 1/0 hook. Does this mean I can't use them as set bait? I thought when it said worms that twitch I could use them like beach worms.?
Thanks for another informative video Roger. I will certainly re think my strategy next time I beach fish. Out of curiosity do you ever use soft plastic worms for bait. I am curious if they work as well as the beach worms.
I have not used soft plastic worms yet but plan to give them a try
Nice. I've been hoping to get salmon from Sydney beaches for so long and never had any luck. I wonder where this beach is?
I believe it's the beach next to lake tabourie
Another amazing video, Roger. Just wondering what kind of rod you would recommend for beach fishing? Any specifications? Thank you so much
Most of my beach rods are 12ft long. I have a couple of lighter ones at 10ft.
Hi Roger,
Is the light surf rod you use in the video a 10ft or the 10ft 6-inch rod in the Maikuru 2 range? The action of the rod looks great.
I'm from South Australia and have learnt a lot. Thank you for your videos Roger.
Hi Roger, do you ever use circle or suicide hooks where you don't have to strike?
hey roger great video - by any chance do you know what the stingray at 7:52 was like its name?
The Banjo Ray is edible but you don't get much flesh for the size of the fish = too much waste. Is the Banjo a ray or a shark?
You can eat banjo rays they are really good
Okay, thanks
Another great video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi roger I’m going beach fishing on the weekend and I’m getting confused with all the different rig set up’s 😂 I was just going to run the stinger rig setup I’m just wondering if you use the the big star sinker on that set up or just a normal round sinker I was also wondering if you use worms on this rig as well
For the size of those fish what size hooks are you using?
Long shanks 1/0, other hooks 4/0
