A few weeks back I was asked about arranging one of our Parent & Child fishing trips. I couldn't do it then, but have a date available on Sun 29 July, so lets see how much interest there is.
We will depart from Westhaven and most likely head out into the deeper gulf.
The parent & child trips are for you to spend time fishing with your child. We use one of our big power cats and take 12 pairs of parent & child. On this boat we fish 12 at the rear so a parent shares a rod with their child. We supply 12 rods, plus bait and ice for the trip. It is an 8hr trip and we run it from 8am to 4pm rather than the early starts that don't always work for children.
If a parent brings an extra rod, they may be able to bribe the crew to watch over their child and sneak up to the front of the boat where there is room for extra anglers. Just don't abandon junior for the whole day as that isn't the idea. It is a big, comfortable boat with lots of room inside to keep warm whilst we travel.
Cost is $180 for the P&C pair. Normal trips are $150 - $180 per angler so this is as cheap as we can make it. Tea and Coffee are provided but bring some lunch for you and the kids.
If you are a couple with no children we do understand ladies that your partner might be a little childish at times so you can bring him along as long as he is toilet trained and you make him behave himself. Parents with 2 children can come as a 4 person group.
