MattGb1989 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hey guys, Plan on taking my 9yr old son out for a session on Saturday night up on the central coast. Unfortunately it will be land based only as I don't have access to a boat but was hoping someone could give me an idea of a good area to get some action. I haven't lived on the coast for 5 plus years so don't remember many kid friendly areas. I'll be using SPS but my boy will be using bait. Any advice would be great. Cheers in advance, Brownie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest123456789 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 You can fish inside the breakwall adjacent to iguana joes at Gosford. I've never fished it myself but it does get busy with other anglers. other benefit is it's near the new waterpark, swimming pool, circus and eat street cafe.

Brew Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 It's a little further away however I like to take the kids to the wharf at the end of Kallaroo Rd in Bensville. It's a wharf at the end of a concrete breakwall so you can drive to the spot. Great for when there is a chance of rain as you can just sit in the car and let it pass. Lots of small stuff to keep the kids entertained with a chance of a big flathead or bream. Also get crabs there (no nets though). Good luck wherever you go.

PaddyT Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 If your young bloke can cast then there should be a few frigates at Terrigal Haven- I used to take my boys there from pretty early on and I used to do the casting and they would do the winding- always a good look on their face when a frigate came screaming in and belted the lure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a light or lantern as from memory there is no pole light. I reverse the car to the end so you can drive forward off it in the dark. The breakwall is two car widths so easy to do.

kiwicraig Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Another spot is the Spike Milligan bridge just up Brisbane Waters Dr from Woy Woy. You can fish under it and cast into the channel for Bream, trevs and other estuary species. There are streetlights on the bridge and you can get out of the rain if needed.

jeffb5.8 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Depending on the age of your young fella, i stick one of those Wahoo swim vests or his ski 50s jacket on my 4yr, he can swim but i just never trusted him not to fall in while mucking around.
