Not even a glimps of one or a single bite.
We used to get pissed off at all the spottys when I was younger????

So does anyone know of a kid friendly place to get a fish on? We tried lowery bay boat ramp wharf and point Howard today. With poor results

Was still a great day in the end with ice cream and fish and chips for lunch but geez. I was really hoping to get somethingAttachment 40555

Bloody Awesome @chrome.

Brought back memories of me taking my four boys fishing at the wharf.

We would use the el-cheapo sabiki rigs you can buy from the warehouse and bait each sabiki with a tiny piece of chicken heart.

This was and still is a sure fired way to get a herring on the line for the little fella.

Cheers
