GoingFishing Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Gday Raiders Happy new year, i hope everyone is in good health. I still read everyones reports but get very little time to post and comment. Life has been busy, work along with family keeps us pretty much fully pre-occupied. I have however managed a few sessions inside Botany Bay with the kids. Botany has been unusually productive this year, which is great ! Have started to get the eldest two out towards the heads now with some manageable wave action about so that they can gain their sea legs. I found if we spend an hour inside the bay first then venture outside it significantly reduces the likelyhood of seasickness. My girl is a natural, no seasickness at all. My edlest boy Adam has gotten addicted to soft plastics and is chuffed with his 65cm flatty which he caught all on his own on a paddle tail. What age do you all recommend for full offshore adventure with the kids? Mine are still 8 & 7. Im absolutely itching to get out to the FADS. It wouldnt be a day on the bay without the youngest having his customary snooze on the chair ! Tight lines. cheers Sam 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Donna - they absolutely love it. as do i. time well spent together, great memories. I absolutely hate seeing them on the TV or video games, the great outdoors is ALWAYS the better option 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Some nice fish in the photos, the kids look happy. As for outside on a rough or bouncy day, the kids may have trouble standing up/bounce around/suffer an injury/feel sick. Just try it on a rather calm day for a while. Also, the wave that rolls through bigger than the others and is not seen until too late. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Great report Sam - family stuff is so good to read - fishing can be a selfish pursuit or a family pleasure. There are some solid fish there and a great feed of flathead fillets. Thanks for sharing. I don’t know Botany area, but you certainly got great results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 A great report Sam. I hope that the kids maintain their interest in fishing, it's a fabulous outdoor pastime and even better done with the family. Your photos are excellent and show joy and success in each one. Good luck with the offshore plans... bn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
