Hello, my name is Ken. As a 50-plus angler, I've always struggled to catch fish no matter how hard I tried. I even live 200 metres from the shores of Lake Macquarie, and when I go out fishing on a good day, I would be lucky to catch a baby bream. Most days, I would come home empty-handed.
For years, I have bought every fishing gadget on the market, only to fail repeatedly, so most fishing trips are finished with me heading to our local fish and chips shop.
Then finally, my wish came true. Over two days, Roger Osborne coached me in beach fishing, and within hours of learning how to cast into the surf, I landed my first 40cm tailor.
That weekend I went home from Roger's place on the South Coast, NSW, with over three kilos of filleted fish and the know-how necessary to catch fish at my local beach.
But something was missing. Yes, I could catch fish from a beach but nothing worked when I tried fishing at my local lake
As much as I loved learning how to catch fish on a beach, my real desire was to be able to catch fish in the lake right where I live.
Like many people, I grew up fishing on a lake. I also spent over 20 years fishing on Sydney Harbour and have visited many coastal inlets and rivers over many holidays. But no matter what I did, what new fishing rig or lure I tried, I would mostly come home empty-handed.
So I asked Roger for help as he had started fishing over 40 years ago in Narrabeen Lakes on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. He knew what to do when fishing in lakes and rivers, so I arranged with Roger to teach me how to catch fish in a lake.
Over four days, Roger taught me estuary fishing techniques that applied to fishing from the shore, a wharf, and a boat. As Roger lives on a lake connected to the sea by a coastal inlet, we were up each morning, and in four days, we covered everything I needed to know.
I learned fishing techniques I wished I had known years earlier. It was one of the best weeks of fishing I had had in years. Not only did I experience the thrill of catching several fish, but I also had a game plan to take home.
When I arrived home at Lake Macquarie at the end of my week away, my family was well-fed, thanks to the four kilos of filleted fish Roger and I had caught that week.
Roger was so generous with his time that as a farewell gift before I drove back to Lake Macquarie, he took me down to the edge of the lake at the back of his home and gave me another lesson on filleting.
As well as teaching me how to fillet the fish, he taught me how to cook them in a beer batter, which my local fish shop needs to know. Roger knows how to cook. His beer batter is sensational.
I'll never forget the look on my family's faces. They were amazed as I served a mix of flathead, bream and tailor fillets coated in one of the best beer batters you can make.
I felt a great sense of achievement, and I will never forget what my teenage son said, "Dad, I thought you would never catch anything on your week away. But this fish was the best, and to think you cooked it. I never thought you had it in you."
Introducing Roger Osborne's...
Estuary Fishing Masterclass
Why the "Estuary Fishing Course" will help any frustrated beginner
The challenge was to take a complete beginner (that definitely describes me) and teach them how to catch several decent-sized fish in one weekend.
And so over four days, filming every moment, Roger taught this middle-aged, overweight novice and sent home a fisherman with three kilos of filleted fish as trophies to eat.
Over the four days of teaching the catch improved. That's why the course works as it shows you what to do
During the four days I spent with Roger, I had the opportunity to ask every question a beginner would ask. Roger captured my queries on film and went the extra mile to demonstrate where I was going wrong and, handing me a rod, guided me step-by-step towards the correct approach.
With the "Estuary Fishing Course," you're getting an all-inclusive online package that leaves no stone unturned.
Although you have the option to purchase this course as a standalone resource, I highly recommend joining Roger's Fishing Membership programme. By doing so, you'll receive access to not only the "Estuary Fishing Course" but also the "Beach Worming Masterclass" and "The Beach Fishing Masterclass."
You'll save a whopping $516.00 in your first month of joining Roger's membership program, making it a fantastic deal!
Throughout the training sessions, you'll see me make multiple mistakes, but instead of experiencing the embarrassment of making the same errors, you'll have the advantage of watching how to do it right the first time.
Here's the thing. Roger has taken a disheartened beginner and equipped me with the basic skills necessary to catch a decent feed. Despite my immense embarrassment, you'll gain the knowledge and understanding that I wished I had known years ago.
Furthermore, Roger shows you precisely what gear you'll need in the training sessions. Since attending his lessons, I've gone through my tackle and realised how much money I've wasted purchasing unsuitable equipment for the type of fish or location I'm targeting.
To assist you, Roger has created cheat sheets that break down each step he teaches. You can take this valuable knowledge with you when you go fishing, making it easier to catch more fish.
What I learned from Roger Osborne is now available so that you stand a better chance of catching a feed.

Roger's advice on improving your catch is straightforward yet valuable. Fishing with lighter gear can significantly increase your chances of catching more fish. Lighter gear allows for a more natural presentation of the bait or lures, making it more enticing for fish to bite. It also enables you to feel even the slightest nibble, making it easier to hook the fish. In addition to fishing light, Roger recommends using berley to attract fish to your location. Berley is a mix of fish scraps and other bait materials that you can throw into the water to create a scent trail. The scent trail can attract fish to your location, making them more likely to bite your bait.
