For a bit of education and adventure we begin our half day morning or half day afternoon fishing tour with the catching of live bait with a cast net to ensure we tempt those hungry fish little wrigglers.

This in itself is an experience for those younger anglers who may not have had the opportunity to try their hand at bait fishing before.
