Redcliffe Bait & Tackle

Being an amateur fisherman at best, with my budget reel and Christmas present tackle box, its great to see that there is a place that isn’t too precious about the sport of fishing.
I arrived at Redcliffe keen to have a fish but after a few minutes of observing the locals at their spot it was clear that was short on some basic gear and knowledge. One thing I understood was that fishing is an activity for those with patience and a short temper to a noob like me.
I was informed by one of these lovely gentlemen, that just up the road was a fishing store that would help me.
Redcliffe (also known as Hornibrook) Bait n Tackle was a little haven of reels, lines, hooks, sinkers and a whole load of other stuff I did not know the purpose for, however the fellow that served me was genuinely nice and helped me understand what I needed and how to go about catching a fish. He taught me the basics on how to put a line together and gave me some live bait and showed me how to hook it up.
Back at the jetty it took about thirty minutes to get my first bite and another to reel in my first ever fish. It wasn’t that big, but I kept on until the sun began to set. Good times.
