Took my youngest boy (7yo) out to Redcliffe this arvo armed with a couple of packets of bloodworms and some light rods. The Easterly breeze was a constant 10-12knts and we set up our camp chairs on a quiet section of beach. Before I could bait my own rod up Ethan had already landed his first whiting and this set the tone for the afternoon. There was barely a cast that went out without landing a fish of some sort (even if they were undersize) and for the afternoon the species count went like this: Whiting, Dart, Bream, Tarwhine, Flathead, Moses Perch and pike.

The only fish of any size were the bream and we kept 3 at 25cm for a feed. Was a top arvo with the young bloke who lost count of the number of fish he caught today. Cheap Easter entertainment if you ask me.

Thats great mate good to hear a story involving a kid. With my two boys !12yr & 9yr they keep giving me crap and boast to everyone,that they catch more fish than dad.Well like you said ,before i could bait my own rod , i know how that goes. thats why they catch more fish than me cause my line hardly gets wet.

Must say good catch you got. Everytime i take my boys to redcliffe the bait just vanishes off the line,or toad fish.

Ever wanna hook up with me and my boys,show us how you & mini you do it,just let me know.

cheers

I agree with all the other comments above Kev. As well as a great way to fish, without the need for the boat.

Look forward to your next report.
