Fished 2 spots today with my son. Lost 2 metal slugs and 3 rigs at the rocks then called it quits after 3 hours and multiple knots and rerigging. Went home and got the missus and toddler and went down the road to the dam. First bait and Alana landed a 40cm tilapia, her first ever fish. She also got a small spangled pearch and my son caught a catty. Stalls well and ends well. Nice day out 🤙🎣
