Rye land based

Hi team,

I am heading to Rye next week with the kids for a few days. Kids have only fished once before and they loved it, they are excited about having another crack. I was planning on taking them down to a local pier and catch whatever swims, they wont be after trophy fish. Just consistent bites to keep them interested.

I'm hoping that while they fish I may get to flick around for a squid but I'm guessing I'll be too busy baiting hooks, untangling lines and making sure they don't push each other in. I may also sneak out to the back beaches and have a flick for a salmon or something

So, any kid friendly areas down there to try? I am assuming Rye pier is a good start or maybe Blairgowrie.

All piers around there are good. From Blairgowrie to Portsea can produce squid. Burley a lot and you may attract whiting, tommy, gar.

Drop a tiny paternoster between the edge of the jetty and the ferry towers at sorrento. Kids will have a great time on tommy / leathers / wrasse and you can cast at squid at the same time.

Pretty much what Dougie said, always caught something at Sorrento dropping a small paternoster or running sinker around the ferry towers, also caught some big trevally there once upon a time, some big squid around but I've never done the best on squid in Sorrento, probably me doing something wrong haha.. lots of cuttles around

Great, thanks for the advice fellas, I'll give it a crack!
