If you want to improve your overall fishing skills finding time to watch this channel is a must, decades of knowledge from an exceptional angler, I couldn't be more thankfull Roger, much obliged.

Thanks Roger next time I will be following your tips

Another helpful video thanks roger! I was watching your videos a while before I came to Australia still watching and still learning but mate I just can’t stop fishing here I love it. Off to putty beach early this morning with my 10ft rod, about to sit down and get some rigs made up. Bait will be mullet fillets with some large squid to use whole on mulloway rig or in strips. Been catching lots of different species of fish thanks to your broad variety of videos with all things thought of, appreciate your time and effort really goes along way. A lot of over fishing going on in popular spots like Avoca beach rocks on a Saturday morning becoming concerning with how many lost rigs are down there and what it actually looks like down there. Video of the life under the waves be cool 👍🇦🇺

Brilliant as always, Sir! Keep it up.

Amazing, here I was thinking the heavier bait I had on , the lighter sinker I would need! Thanks mate, will do the opposite of what I have been doing now !

These videos are invaluable!!!

Obrigado pela aula . Grandes expectativas pronto para por em prática .

Great to see your latest video Roger, thank you. Love to see some further fish specific rod, reel, rig, bait, surf location tutorials. Absolutely love your content 👍

Love every one of your videos, especially this new series. As someone pretty new to fishing and beach fishing especially, your content has helped me learn so much! Can't wait for the next vid

Another great video Roger! Thanks heaps and please keep them coming. I have learnt a lot from you over the past few months and finally had the chance to put it into practice over Christmas which saw me catch a lot of Salmon and flathead off the south coast (Ulladulla/Bawley point area). Up until now I’ve never really had much luck fishing! Thanks again Roger, really appreciate all your hard work filming and putting these videos together.

Fantastic Rog straight to the point without the fake ‘laughing’ commentary that certain ex footy players inflict us with

Just found your channel and have liked at least 50 videos. First comment. You left out spoon sinker. Great for getting out of rock crevices like the barrel/torpedo but can plane above weed

I need you to please upload more often!!!!!

Hey I'm a beginner angler and really much enjoying your videos. I've learned a lot from them. You are not just telling ppl what gears they're gonna use but also you explain the theories/logics behind them. Really appreciate the way you do it. Thank you.

Thank you for the tutorial. 😊

Welcome back Roger. Another awesome video. Thanks

The usual top standard - feedback from one fisho to another. Keep up the great vlogs!

Love my surf fishing. Absolutely on point Roger. I love a good star sinker on a double paternoster here on NSW South Coast as well. That said, I do love the barrel sinkers from flathead depending on conditions.

Thanks Roger

That is very informative as usual... Thank you, Roger!

Brilliant info, and you present in a way that's easy to understand what & why!!!

🎣 I have seen a video of orange painted "ground" sinkers, hopefully to attract fish to the bait,! ... I imagine other colours would work too, and some painted with two separate colours on a sinker/s. 🎣

Thank you. Concise and informative. I’ve always been nervous about pyramid sinkers, thinking I won’t feel the bites. But as you say, it’s no fun having your rig washed down the beach.

Please make some more of this series 👌👌

Good wishes for your health Roger 👍

Great video Roger. One sinker you overlooked is the spoon sinker. Very common here in Western Australia. They are aerodynamic for casting and also don't roll across the sand like a star sinker. Usually not as heavy too. I have mainly used spoon sinkers for beach fishing and found they work up to a point. Once the conditions get rough, they tend to get pushed around and you need the star sinker. Also, you can't really set up a spoon sinker as a running sinking. I learnt something with your idea on using a star sinker in a running setup. Very cool idea. I am going to try this one out. Thanks for the great tips. Keep the videos coming!

Absolute legend mate! I'm 36 yrs old and only just falling in love with fishing now! I have used a kmart rod once or twice before at fraser island with absolutely no idea. I threw it in the bin and now have 3x proper rod and reel combos i have set up and can't wait to use them! You have very informative clear and concise advice. Subscribed and liked. Cheers mate and keep the vids coming! Looking forward to a beach fishing with lures video 👍

Great coverage, thanks.

I'm with you my always go too sinker is star sinker I use it everything from whiting up to jewy baits love all your videos very very informative thankyou ron

Hello, I've only just subscribed but the info you share is magic to me, yes I have fished on & off for many a year, now I have moved to a sea change place (now retired) with a river, large bay/ port & very long beach, have a 4wd for beach access, yes I will be fishing much more, beach & the river / port from my tinny. Thanks for your help as it has inspired me again.

Luv ya work mate, I appreciate your knowledge. thanks for another video. Cheers

2021 is definitely the year of more fishing mate !

Very helpful highly appreciated.I learned a couple of the things thank you.👍👍

This is very helpful video.Being new angler i was a bit confused about sinkers. I will surely try soon. Thank you soo much sir 🙏

Thank you very much.

Hi Roger. I have watched this video and many others of yours several times. I decided to make a comment on this one. I am, as we say in Queensland " Blessed" because we have Moreton and Frazer Islands. Beach fishing heaven! I have been using the Grapnel style sinkers for about 4 years now and let me say, they are "Insanely Good" at holding ground in rough surf conditions. When I decide to reel in to check my bait, I have to struggle to break them free of the sand bottom. I use 20 and 25 lb line on my reels and sometimes I am concerned that I will break the line trying to dislodge the sinker from the sand. Many times I find the stainless wires have been rotated out of the locating slots on the side of the sinker, proof they were anchored firmly. I am about to try the pulley rig system when I head over to Moreton next month for 2 weeks, I'll let you know how it goes, maybe you use this system also? Any vids on pulley rig systems? I thoroughly enjoy your videos mate! Keep them coming.

Would love to see a video on best fish to go for in each state of Australia!

I was blind but now I see. This information is gold, thanks Roger.

Thank you for great information 😊

Cheers Mate!

Thanks Roger!

Good information thank you

covering ground reaching more fish definitely more important for many and often fish are feeding very close but reaching spots can be essential. I still like my overhards after fifty years. even with half ounce or an ounce for whiting with a forty plus year old ABU or Daiwa millionaire great for casting metal lures too. not for fishing pillies. The use of overheads almost rare these days. I often use light gear and a threadline too great fun.

absolutely helpful. specially for me who’s 33 year old and just started fishing. By the way, i just caught a salmon here in WA with the help of your vids mate. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Awesome info💯

Thanks great video. Would love a video on ‘when to strike’ different fish 😊😊

Very helpful 👌

hi robbie that trout cod must have thought it hit the Jack pot all those worms cool crays and video 😅

Fantastic video mate. Cheers

Nice video very helpful 👍👍👍

Great video Roger, as usual it was very informative. What weight range rod would be best for heavier sinkers fishing for mulloway? Cheers

Superb 👍

Would love for you to talk more about how certain weather conditions affect surf conditions. Example, Onshore vs offshore winds and how it affects wave heights, currents etc, best fish and times to target during these weather conditions etc. Would help in also helping 'read a beach'

Someone got a sponsor?? Good stuff loved the info thank you

Good info

Good day mate from Southern California your type of fishing is a lot different than Southern California have you tried using flat sliding sinkers

Helpful. Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️

Thank you now i just need to know a correct way to cast being a female with disability i have trouble casting out good distance so i will look through your vids for hints and tips. Thank you again

Hi Roger, when you have time could you please do a tutorial video or series on beach fishing using lures? Love you content!

I need this! My bait always get swept around in the surf.

Hi Rodger , I have just come across your videos and have had countless hours of lost sleep , Thanks , I have noticed that you mainly show and talk about side-cast and thread-line reels . since the age of 10 , I have grown and been taught by my dad in the use of overhead reels . I would love to hear what you think of these reels . and of todays video , I constantly use tear drop sinkers or the old snapper leads. the rest of your video's are definitely worth while watching , Thanks

hi i been fishing in jarvis bay for over a year with grandson from beach never caught a fish yet tryed all your rigs still no luck will keep trying one day mite get one

Hi Roger, great presentation again. Would you pls do a Rods & Reels for surf fishing. I'm just getting into light surf fishing in my senior phase of life. The only thing l've caught is salt and sunburn 👀. Cheers, mate from an Aussie subbie.

I have a request for a video. Can you please do another salmon fishing video, me and my dad are going to go salmon fishing soon and we don't know much about it and usually can't catch much. Love your videos ❤️

I’ve used heavy sinkers against strong inland wind the kind that blows particles of seawater into my face … at best the sinker will be suspended in mid air and drop mid way or even back onto the beach … the way I look at it the line was being blown by the wind and as the longer it spooled out, the more resistance it gets and no matter how balanced my gear was, I’d pack up and called it a day … the weather won …

Sir! Thank you very much for those wonderful information about fishing in the beach. How about fishing in the rocks it’s same like beach fishing?

6:00 Aerodynamic,,,good point,,,I use a torpedo shape sinker rather than star sinker in surf to get bait closer to where I want it...Goes againest popular thinkin,, but,,I believe in results

If i feel how relaxed i am when i watch this guy kick for post compared to manny libbok. Naas was the same. I just knew he was going to kick it over. I think he looks like he could be a factor with drop goals as well. Some players when they take the ball in their hand for a line kick it just looks different . Francy steyn wss like that and naas and this sascha

Awesome videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. So my question is, what’s the quickest and best way to kill a fish. Cheers.

Which sinker matching on coral reefs. Duo to I usallly fishing 🎣 on shore in gulf area but so many struggling there Seeking you advice Moreover once I get fish 🐠 I hanging on the reefs

hi roger what sinker do you use on your stinger rig

Great video, thanks! Do you find the star sinker to snag alot and lose your rig?

With 30lb plus goin for bigger fish do you prefer flouro mainline or braid

In my rod mentioned casting weight 20 to 60g what's the size sinker I can use. Is Number 3 sinker ok or kills?

Hi Rodger, lover your KZfaq training, whats your thoughts on using a drone to take your line out?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Roger . What area are you based in . Cheers Jim

Hi mate love your videos but just a tip if I was fishing in a boat is going near the floaters a good idea like the red and yellow floaters?

In June and July sea is very rough, govt puts a ban on deep sea fishing only option left is beach fishing, please give some tips for beach fishing when the water is really rough. From Karachi Pakistan.

Live 7pm tomorrow night 🥳🥳🥳

🙏🏽

What about pulley rigs.

Hi Roger, I read somewhere your rig weight should be in the upper half of the range for the ideal lure weight marked on the rod. What are our thoughts?

How about in choosing the right tides, like incoming verses outgoing. How does this affect the decision making process?

Hi sir, is graphite or carbon rods can be use heavy weight sinker for surf fishing?thanks

Great video u helped me and my dad catch fish last weekend. But what do u think the limit is for the height of the surf

Pl do give link of your previous talk for easy reference

Great videos Roger! Are there any conditions that make the beaches in Sydney un-fishable? I tried fishing during a NE wind & swell, and the sinker just couldn't hold bottom.

From Mr Thomas Schmutter Bigger Sinkers means bigger kind and, bigger bait for bigger fish shark lubbstar and prawns and fresh fresh seafood 🍣.

Roger I Recently watched a video of you whiting fishing using a 2hook rig which seemed to have the sinker between the hooks. Not a normal pater noster rig Was I correct and if so could you show me this rig please

The weather should be number 1? Before sinker choise? Do you think?

Great video 👍👍 what is your opinion about fluorocarbon lines? Is it necessary? Because I see you don't use them. Greetings from Greece.

Can you show us how to land a Jewie?

Hi sir, what rod action do you recommend for surf fishing, heavy or medium?thanks

For heavy rigs Save your cash and use old car wheel lug nuts and other random heavy brass or copper parts from your junk crate. Even old broken heavy duty lead battery terminals.

What if you're using braid, would trust it running a sinker along it?

Are beach worms only found on the east coast🎉

never fished a beach yet that didn't need a grapnel to hold it in place... in fact we commonly need a rubber band around the grapnel or even two grapnels at once... usually I fish a 6 oz grapnel with a rubber band and the lightest I've ever gotten away with is a 3 oz grapnel. None of those other sinkers would stand a chance.

👍🏽
