Daughter Outfishing my PB's

Took my daughter out with the aim to get her onto a fish or two with her bright pink Kmart Rod and 5g Temu Blade, went to como jetty for a few hours with nothing but blowies, so we popped into narrows bridge for a quick flick on the way home, it was a low tide, no run, people/boats/jetskies everywhere i thought we would be going home empty handed for sure...

She learnt to cast and work the blade pretty fast and we coverd the ground completelty, just as we are about to leave i hear her yelling daaaaaddd and look over and her rods bent like crazy head shakes snapping it back and forth, she managed to find herself onto a 51cm flatty! i couldnt beleive it... she reeled it it all by herself i only helped hold the rod and get it lifted onto the grass when she got it close to shore.

So proud of her, she now asks me to go fishing constantly haha got her a nice little light weight 6ft combo to replace the kmart gear now :)

 Catching a good fish like that is what gets the young ones interested and will keep them coming back, I know it did it for me and most certainly for my son.

Well done and keep beating Dad by catching the biggest and best fish each trip
