Your Breakthrough Weekend in Beach Fishing & Worming

"It's been confidence-building," shares Steve, a past attendee. "When you're trying to self-teach... You don't have the confidence behind you. But now with what we've done just over this weekend, I can confidently go to any beach, have a look at it, see the lay of the gutters, pick it all out and confidently go in and put my bait on the hook and cast."

Imagine that feeling of confidence in yourself. Whether you're new to fishing, have tried it a few times without much luck, or you're looking to elevate your skills in some of New South Wales' most renowned coastal fishing grounds, Roger Osborne's Ultimate Fishing Weekend is designed for you. As Ash, another satisfied participant, puts it, it's "all I expected and more... you are learning new techniques, tips and tricks from the master."

"Being a complete novice coming down to the beach for the first time... I found it super helpful," says Isaac. "There's no judgment here... you can have a few dud casts and it's not a big deal, which is awesome. The one-on-one time with Roger has helped a lot."

And for those elusive beachworms? "I learned that the worms do exist," says Sam, another enthusiastic participant, who, despite his initial scepticism, found new understanding. "Now I know where to look for them... it showed me the features of how to find the worms. So it's been fantastic." Sam even went on to catch three salmon and a dart after learning with us! An anonymous attendee, who had tried for 45 years, shared their elation: "I caught three worms on the first day... Worming always seemed impossible... But Roger made it seem achievable."

As Steve perfectly puts it, it's "a great way to learn." John Stokes, who drove 13 hours from Queensland, declared: "Seriously, this is one of the best weekends I've had in a long time! ...I learned more during this one weekend than during years of fishing alone. I'm already planning to come back."

Welcome to Roger's Fishing Ultimate Weekend based at Camp Elim in Forster, NSW – a meticulously curated experience designed to teach, inspire, and deeply satisfy. 

Why This Weekend is Different: Your Path to Beachworming & Beach Fishing Starts Here

Since you might have seen our offers before, or perhaps you're just starting your fishing journey, we’ve crafted this weekend to be a fresh, invigorating chapter in your angling story – perfect for every skill level, especially beginners.

1. Multi-Beach Classroom Awaits - three beaches to fish!

 Forget crowded spots and guesswork. For the first time, Roger Osborne, Australia's master beach fisherman, is bringing his unparalleled expertise to the pristine, beautiful shores around Forster, NSW. We'll be operating from our base at Camp Elim, but the real excitement lies in the three distinct, hand-picked beaches we'll be exploring (weather dependent). Roger has chosen these spots for their unique advantages, ensuring you experience a variety of some of the best fishing locations available:

Seven Mile Beach (opposite Camp Elim) – Roger’s Top Pick for Beach Fishing and Worming

 Stretching over 12.5 kilometres, Seven Mile Beach is a true angler's dream and Roger's top choice. It's renowned for its plentiful beach worms, making it a prime location for collecting your own fresh bait. With expansive sandy stretches and optimal tidal conditions, it's an ideal learning ground. This beach also offers excellent fishing opportunities, especially for species like whiting, bream, tailor, and even mulloway. You'll learn to identify and fish its productive gutters and sandbanks in a serene, uncrowded environment.

Boomerang Beach – Roger’s Go-To for Whiting and Bream

Nestled by Booti Booti National Park, Boomerang Beach offers a picturesque backdrop and is a consistent hotspot for whiting, particularly in warmer months. Roger loves the reliable conditions for beach worming during low tide, ensuring you have plenty of live bait. Its beautiful scenery and accessibility make it a fantastic, consistent classroom for honing your skills.

Blueys Beach – Roger’s Hidden Gem for Beach Fishing

For a truly tranquil experience away from the crowds, Blueys Beach is Roger's secret weapon. Though less frequented, it offers rewarding fishing opportunities for species like bream and whiting. It's also an effective beach worming spot, especially during the final hours of the falling tide. Here, you'll learn to fish a quieter, unspoiled beach, adding a valuable dimension to your angling repertoire.

You won't just fish here; you'll learn to interpret these brand-new environments, understanding their nuances and adapting your strategy to consistently find the bite. Be among the first to truly decipher the diverse waters of Forster with Roger as your guide.

2. Mastering the Essentials & Beyond

Whether you've never cast a line or you're looking to refine your technique, this weekend provides a comprehensive learning experience that builds solid foundations and takes your skills further:

• Beach Worming Made Easy: Our experts will demystify the art of catching fresh bait, a cornerstone of successful beach fishing. You'll be surprised how quickly you pick it up! As Ash shared, "The jewel in the crown was the beachworming session. Roger's techniques made it easy to understand, and I picked it up faster than I thought I would."

• Reading the Beach Like a Pro: Learn Roger's simple, yet powerful system for understanding gutters, rips, and where fish are hiding – a skill you can apply anywhere. Ash confirmed, "With Roger's beach reading skills, I found a spot that felt 'fishy' – and it was! I got two bites and landed a salmon."

• Perfecting Your Cast: Get personalised tips and techniques to improve your casting distance and accuracy, making fishing easier and more effective. Gary, a new Alvey user, noted, "After a short session with Roger, I cast farther... I increased my casting distance by another 10-15 metres."

• Rigging & Baiting Confidence: Learn the right knots, rigs, and bait presentation for different conditions and target species, ensuring you're always prepared.

This isn't about complex theories; it's about hands-on, practical learning that builds your confidence with every cast and every catch.

3. More Than a Trip: An Unforgettable Coastal Escape

We believe fishing is more than just catching fish; it's an immersive experience. At Forster, NSW, your weekend will be a true coastal retreat designed for both growth and rejuvenation:

• Scenic Serenity: Imagine casting your line with breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, rolling dunes, and pristine coastlines.

• Coastal Relaxation: Enjoy delicious meals featuring local flavours and relax in the evenings with stunning ocean sunsets from our comfortable base at Camp Elim. Andrew enthusiastically shared, “Last night's paella was out of this world. Sitting around, swapping stories and laughs with a group of blokes who love fishing – it doesn't get better.”

This is a holistic escape where the thrill of the catch blends seamlessly with the tranquility and beauty of the Forster coastline.

• Confidently read any beach and identify prime fishing spots.

Who is This Weekend For?

For the Absolute Beginner: Your Perfect Starting Point

Never held a fishing rod before? No problem! This weekend is designed with you in mind. Roger and his team specialise in breaking down complex fishing concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps.

• No experience necessary: We'll start from the very basics – how to hold a rod, tie a knot, and cast effectively. As Isaac shared, he was "a complete novice... coming down to the beach for the first time in casting a rod," and he found it "super helpful." Gary added, "I brought my new Alvey rod and reel and had no clue how to use it. After a short session with Roger, I cast farther and caught bigger fish than ever before."

• Patient, hands-on instruction: Our experts will be right there with you on the beach, guiding your every move. "It's not super intense. It's quite casual," notes Isaac, making it the perfect learning environment.

• Guaranteed first catches: We aim for everyone to experience the thrill of catching their first fish and beachworms! As Sam discovered, "the worms actually do exist," and you'll learn exactly "where to look for them." The anonymous attendee's breakthrough after 45 years of trying is a testament to this: "On the first day Roger showed me, I caught three worms on my first attempt. After 45 years of trying, I couldn't believe it. I was so excited I was shaking."

This is the safest, most supportive environment to kickstart your fishing journey and build a foundation of confidence that will last a lifetime. George perfectly encapsulated it: "We were a bit... novices... and we thought we'd be out of our depth. But all the guys that are here for the same reason, really good  camaraderie."

For the Experienced Angler: Elevate Your Game

If you've spent years on the sand but still seek that extra edge, this weekend is your opportunity to take your skills to a whole new level.

• Master New Terrain: Apply Roger's advanced beach-reading strategies to the unique challenges and opportunities across the diverse beaches of Forster. Steve confirmed, "Now with what we've done just over this weekend, I can confidently go to any beach now, have a look at it, see the lay of the gutters, pick it all out."

• Refine Your Techniques: Get personalised feedback on your casting, rigging, and bait presentation from Roger himself. Discover subtle tweaks that can make a huge difference. Sam mentioned he "learned a lot on casting further," and Gary stated, "I increased my casting distance by another 10-15 metres."

• Target Specific Species: Learn advanced tactics for elusive fish like mulloway or large tailor, often found in these varied locations. You'll learn the techniques that led Jack and George to catch "one of the biggest salmon we've seen" exactly where Roger said they'd be, and Gary to land "the biggest fish of the weekend – a 50 cm salmon!"

• Unlock Consistent Success: Discover how to adapt Roger's system to unfamiliar conditions, ensuring you can find fish no matter where you cast. John Stokes found that "Roger's knowledge is unmatched... there's so many little things I have learned... I'll be able to use these skills for life."

• Deepen Your Knowledge: Engage in advanced discussions and problem-solving with Roger and fellow passionate anglers. As Steve said, "We learn in the classroom environment rigging and, you show us what to look for on the beach and then we walk down the beach and we literally do it right there and then. So it's put in your mind and then you put it into practice straight away. It's a great way to learn." John Stokes added, "Seeing it firsthand was amazing."

This isn't about repeating what you know; it's about pushing boundaries, adapting your expertise, and truly becoming a master of any beach. Jack summed it up: "This is something special."
