The $3 Bream And A Dart

[The Poacher]

The rain eased up at lunch time, so I thought I would take my kids down the beach for some fun. Threw in the rods and picked up some servo frozen beach worms ($3) as I thought there might be a few whiting around between 2 and 4pm today.

I was really just intent on letting the kids fish with no real ambitions of decent fish. There were plenty of bites just behind the shore break but I think these were dart. Ended up catching a little one. My 6 year old uses a cheap outfit of 11 foot 6 that he can casst himeself. When the fish are in close like this he can do it all without my help.

Today he got a nice bream without me touching the rod!!!! Certainly the body boarders and volleyballers on the beach were impressed.

Beats sitting at home on playstation.

Lol if you always go out with the intent of not catching anything maybe the kids will always succeed and prove ya wrong

Very great stuff there though mate, looks nice and well done on goin for that short time looks like it paid off

I am amazed at the fish my local beaches produce - and they are over legal size about 75% of the time. There is nothing better than to take the kids down and have those last two hours before dark. You can hardly go wrong.
