Sam, a Sydney local, experienced the best birthday of his life when his girlfriend Zoe surprised him with a private lesson from Roger Osborne, his fishing hero.
The day at the beach was perfect, with sunny skies and a low tide creating ideal conditions for beach worming and fishing.
"Meeting Roger in person, I was totally starstruck. It was surreal like a dream come true," Sam expressed.
Zoe had secretly arranged everything, contacting Roger and planning the surprise. "I was so nervous; I kept checking if he had replied to my messages. When he finally did, I couldn't believe we would actually meet him!" Zoe recalled.
The day started with Roger greeting the couple at his favourite beach fishing spot.
"Welcome, and Happy Birthday, Sam! Ready for a fishing adventure?"
Roger said, kicking off the day with enthusiasm. The look on Sam's face said it all: This was a dream come true.
That day, Sam went home, having learned how to catch several of his favourite fish, and for the first time, caught a beach worm.
Sam stands next to Roger after landing the first big catch. As the day went on, things improved, and they left Roger with more fish than they had ever caught.
That day with Roger took Sam's love for fishing to a new level.
Sam and Zoe also shared their passion for fishing on a fun-loving day—what a birthday gift!
Reflecting on the day, Roger enjoyed the teaching experience, "It's always fun to meet fans, and teaching Sam was a great pleasure. He picked up the techniques quickly, and we had a fantastic catch by the end of the day."
The day ended with a reflective walk on the beach, with Sam appreciating Zoe's incredible gift: "This was more than just a fishing lesson; it was a day filled with laughter, learning, and love."

"It's amazing to learn from the best. Roger's tips made a difference, and catching that big one felt like a victory," Sam noted with a grin.
Couple Learn Fishing Together: Anouk and Lewis's Story
Another young couple, Anouk and Lewis, shared a memorable day with Roger. Knowing Lewis was a Roger's YouTube channel fan, Anouk booked a full-day lesson as a surprise gift.
Expecting only to watch, Anouk was thrilled when Roger invited her to participate.
When they arrived, Anouk expected to stand on the sidelines and watch Roger teach her boyfriend, Lewis.
But Roger knows the fun a couple can have fishing together. So, as Roger had several rods with him, he put out a line for Anouk, and together, Roger started the lesson.
Look at the absolute delight on Anouk's face, having landed a Mulloway. What a catch for your first lesson!
They both learned quickly, catching salmon, bream, and whiting, with Anouk landing a significant Mulloway. The experience exceeded their expectations.
Several days later, Lewis texted Roger to express his gratitude:
"Hey, Roger! It's Lewis. Just wanted to say thanks for a great day!
My day and week went from a 4 to a 10.
We all had a great time and made memories (and photos) I'll keep with me."
Steve Starling wanted to know the secret to Roger's beach worming technique
Steve Starling, an Australian sports fishing writer and television personality, had watched many of Roger's YouTube videos.
Like Roger, Steve films YouTube videos to help anglers, and they regularly collaborate to promote the best fishing techniques in each other's videos.
In a recent video of Steve's, he refers to Roger as the "Surf Fishing Legend - Roger "the Beach Whisperer" Osborne."
As Steve said in the video, " I have been watching Roger's videos for some time, and I cannot consistently find or catch beach worms. So your job is to show me where they are."

A family of nine from Albury had the best day out with Roger in a group fishing lesson
Every Saturday at 3 pm, a family from Albury gathers to watch Roger’s new YouTube video on fishing. They enjoyed his videos so much that they planned a special day to learn fishing from him.
Roger agreed to teach three members of the family—a granddad and two dads. So, the family of nine travelled to the South Coast to meet him.
“I’ve taught many families, but teaching this one was especially fun and full of laughs,” Roger shared.
The grandparents were thrilled to meet Roger in person at a service station near the fishing beach. “We watch your videos all the time, but meeting you in person is even better!” one grandparent said.
That day, Roger showed the three men many new fishing techniques. They caught more fish than expected and had a great time with Roger, whom they usually only see on YouTube.
As the family headed home, one of them told Roger, “Thanks for the best day ever!”
This story shows how much fun it can be to learn fishing with Roger.
After having a great day with Roger, the Owens family sent him a thank you letter containing the following comments:
April 2024
My daughter Abbie had emailed Roger about a guided fishing lesson while visiting Lake Tabourie for her dad, James, Uncle Dean, and Pa (Ray). This was kept super secret, and Pa had no idea the three others had planned this half-day out!
We met Roger at the local service station, and much to Pa and Nanna's surprise, Roger arrived in his van. They were blown away as we all enjoyed watching the fishing adventures on TV. We laughed, saying we might meet Roger on the beach while holidaying in the area.
WOW, what a half-day we had. The boys were taught how to read the beach and the waves, and once that first line hit the water, it was fish after fish. The boys’ faces were priceless as they rerigged and cast out again, with Roger guiding them every step and just as excited as them.
There were 9 of us there, with the three boys fishing, and it was the best day ever. I highly recommend booking with Roger. He has amazing knowledge of the local area, and we will be back to catch some beach worms next time. Thank you so much from the Owens Family 😊
