Beginner Fishing Workshop

Hey team!
Come and join me for a family-friendly fishing workshop designed especially for complete beginners. My goal is to give you the confidence to take the whānau out fishing — to know how to set up, how to attract a fish, and what to do when you finally catch one!

Workshop Start:
We’ll begin at 9:30am sharp in the hall at the Bridge Hub.
Your host, Chris, will guide you through essential topics such as:

• Surf and beach safety
• Basic fishing gear and tackle
• Bait selection
• Common local fish species and how to target them

We’ll then move into a hands-on knot-tying and rig-making session, and you’ll get to keep the rigs you create for your next fishing trip!

Please note: This event does not require fishing rods, as it is not an actual fishing session. Casting tuition and full fishing sessions will be available in the coming months.

• A non-alcoholic drink (water bottles will be provided)
• Eagerness to learn
• Good vibes!

• All participants must be 6 years or older and must have a ticket.
• Participants under 14 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (18+).
• Guardians with younger siblings are welcome to attend the event, but only ticket holders can take part in the knot-tying and rig-making activities to ensure we have enough materials for everyone

Any cancelations or postponments will be communicated via email.

For questions about the event please contact me at [email protected]
