School holidays sorted. 🎣🐟
Running out of ideas to keep the kids busy? Pack the car and head to Redcliffe for a fishing outing — trust me, you don’t need to be an expert. I haven’t fished in over 20 years and today was absolutely perfect. 😄
5AM: We grabbed a fishing rod, a tackle box, and some squid for bait and honestly the rest took care of itself. Beautiful weather, calm sea, happy kids, and quality family time right here on the bay.
Now I’ll be honest — it wasn’t all smooth sailing. We had broken lines, sinkers getting stuck, lines tangled on light poles, and let’s just say the squid bait ended up on more clothing than in the water. 😂 But you know what? Those were the moments we’ll laugh about for years.
The locals were absolutely awesome — friendly, helpful, and full of good advice. That’s Redcliffe for you. Beautiful community.
We didn’t catch a single fish. Not one. But we caught something better — a genuinely memorable day together. And that’s what school holidays are really about.
Now here’s where I need YOUR help Redcliffe locals and fishing legends — drop your tips in the comments below! 🙏
👉 Am I using the right bait?
👉 What’s the best time of day and tide to fish here?
👉 Is Redcliffe Jetty the best spot or are there better locations?
👉 What tools and gear do I actually need?
Next time we are coming back prepared, with goals, better gear, and a plan to actually catch something. Watch this space. 🎣
And when the hunger kicks in after all that fresh air, you know where to find us. 🐟☕ Pop in for a hot drink and some fresh food — we’ll be right here at the bay.
Redcliffe is your school holiday destination. See you at the water! 🌊
