A special request
Hey Guys!
My Mrs works as an OT\Carer and we have a long term client who is now a good personal friend of ours that has cerebral palsy.
One of her goals in life is to catch a fish and she knows that i dabble in that sort of stuff occasionally.
We were talking about how best to go about this and in order to make it as reel (pun intended) as possible , I am thinking using a an electric reel that has a button to wind in the line, would be the go, while being attached to a carp or a stockie.
The only problem is , I don't own one .
IF anyone in the northern suburbs does and is interested in a meetup, I can try organising something together.
Be a wonderful experience for her.
If anyone has any better ideas , shout em out.
I have faith in our rag tag bunch of mismatchs to put a smile on her dial.
She has "Catch a fish" on her bucketlist and I want to try and make this a nice experience for her.
:cheers:
Tight lines fellas! have a nice weekend .

Re: A special request
Surely the VFA has programs for disability groups and therefore would have that kind of reel.
Snobb's creek (or similar) would be where to go
There is a Snobbs Creek angling club

I don't have anything to help you out but all the best with your endeavour, cheers davo :a_goodjob:
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: A special request
I'm waiting to hear back from Eildon trout farm
You can fish there & they hire out rods etc, just waiting to hear if they have an electric reel

Re: A special request
Maybe use a crappy egg beater or drum reel with a cordless drill on the side

Re: A special request
Eildon fish farm has closed down and has sold all it's stock, but there are others around like Buxton and Ballarat, I think a fish farm would be the best bet for a definite catch.

Re: A special request
For some reason I find the idea of skull dragging a farmed trout with an electric deep drop setup funny as ****.
Hopefully someone can help you out with gear.
From memory there’s a trout farm near Warburton and another at Macclesfield.
