Brooker435 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Hi Raiders,Just thought I would share todays adventure. I bought my daughter a shimano lipstix rods and she was very keen to give it a go so we went to picnic point today for a couple of hours to see if we could catch something.I havent bought her a reel yet so I attached my sienna 2500 with 6lb braid until I decide what to get her or perhaps ill hand it down not sure yet as the trusty sienna has served me well and I dont like using the stradic that much anyway enough of that!!after a bit of casting practise she started fishing and bites instantly and we had about 3 hours of entertainment lots of small fish and 1 decent bream around 28 cms didnt bother measuring as I told her everything will be released so didnt bother measuring anything. she loved it and wants to go again tomorrow lets see if she has the same luck tomorrow!!! anyway a few pics for your enjoyment.Regards,Nathan Sent from my GT-I9507 using Tapatalk Edited April 14, 2016 by beginner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyfox Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Great job Nathan, looks like you have a new fisho in the family, it is good to see all people can enjoy fishing, I remember many years ago when I took my then young son fishing for the first time, what a great day that was too. Give her the sienna 2500, you deserve a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooker435 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thanks to everyone for your replies, We have been fishing before but she has got bored easily but the past few days all I kept hearing was daddy can I go fishing?? so I did what any fisho father would do is give in!! all I need her to say now is "Daddy we need better fishing Gear" LOL!! I think I will hand down the sienna to her its served me very well but going onto 4 years now perhaps time for a change or even a new sienna, its a cheap reel but for bread and butter fishing it does the job real well, I own a stradic 2500 but that is mainly for squiddin and soft plastics. Her smiles made me think back to my childhood when I used to go fishing it was very refreshing!! The excitement when you got a bite and all of that "Priceless" she is very keen to get back out tomorrow lets see what tomorrow brings. I might have to teach her how to catch livies or better yet start catching livies for her!!! Regards, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratchie Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Always great to take to the family fishing especially when the daughter is keen to go! Good on you Nathan. Every now and then I try to encourage my daughter to come with me and last time she did, she got bragging rights over the boys with an 85cm flatty. Needless to say, the boys don't talk about catching flatty anymore! Well done Cheers scratchie!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker435 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 if my daughter catches a 85cm flattie Ill probably give her all my fishing gear and ill step aside.. lol Regards, Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stunami Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Nice report Nathan, I love how she took her barbie doll to,lol. Sweet moments indeed, maybe I should have had a daughter instead of two son's they are not interested in fishing at all, so sad. Where about's were you fishing cos' I live not to far away and wouldn't mind that jetty, I only know Kelso Beach at Picnic Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooker435 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 We went out again today and the little one caught a herring and after convincing her it was a good idea we rigged up my rod and sent it out live. the rod started bouncing after a while and she kept asking me to bring it in so I decided to let her reel it in and sure enough a nice tailor on the hook.. that will be filleted up and used for bait another day!! she was stocked and I think I have a new fishing buddy!!!
