Children will enjoy themselves immensely while helping pull the bait net and pumping for yabbies. For fishing, there's plenty of assistance available. Our employees handle all the tangles and we use barbless hooks!
 

Send them along to our multi award-winning programs and we will take care of all the tangles, we've had plenty of experience with flying hooks since 2004.

• Yabby pumping
• Bait netting

We will pass on plenty of tips to help you land the big one!

We will ease everyone into fishing with this fun and educational activity. Classes are very hands on, everyone will be shown how to use the equipment and receive help to correct their technique.

Squeals of delight (maybe fear) can be heard echoing down the beach when the kids pump up yabbies. 

You and your family will have a ball learning an awesome life skill, bonding and making wonderful memories for the day.
