4BC Kids Fishing Clinic

     & 

The 4BC Kids Fishing Clinic is back again in 2009 to educate and inspire young fisher-boys and girls.

The FREE sessions hosted by 2 Bent Rods are a great hands on way for kids to learn the basics of fishing.

Sessions will be run on a rotational basis with groups starting every 10-15 minutes, this means everyone will get a chance to take part in the 4BC Kids Fishing Clinic.  To join a session, simply head over to the kids fishing clinic (full map details will be provided shortly) and register.  Children will then wait in a designated area until it's their groups turn to start.  When it's all over, parents are able to collect their children from the specially designated 'pick-up' zone.

                                

Session Details:

  • Casting Rods - Using egg beater reels, kids will learn a few trick casts and then get their chance to 'catch' some target balloons with casting plugs.  Everyone that pops a balloon will win a prize.
  • Cast Netting - Kids will learn to throw a cast net which has been colour coded to help make sure they pick it up the right way.  After a few goes, kids will be as good (if not better) than dad!  Everyone who 'catches' the special target (water filled balloons) will win a prize.
  • Knot Tying - Using Hookeze (a hook tying and safety device) kids will learn to tie a locked 1/2 blood knot.  Don't miss out on seeing the live stone fish on display at this station and learning the basics of first aid for marine stings.
  • Yabbie Tank - Choose your bait (peas, melon, soap etc) and try your hand at catching a 15cm long yabby!  Keep your eyes peeled for the red claw variety!

There will also be salt water and fresh water tanks on display where kids will learn about the various baits available, how to tell the difference between a male and female crab and size limits of fish species including whiting, bream and flathead.

No one leaves the 4BC Kids Fishing Clinic empty handed with all participants recieving a sample bag with magazines, fishing information and the prizes they've collected along the way! 

Parents don't miss out either!  Make sure you check the vouchers table when you drop the kids off and go get yourself a show bargain while the kids are keeping busy!
