Brought back memories watching that mate. I used to love fishing the piers back in the day. Those gars were good size and fantastic to see your daughter enjoying herself. Pretty good in front of the camera too. I'd like to see a cooking video for them too, as I don't think I've ever eaten them.

this is basically what roach fishing in freshwater is, that's perfect. I have a soft 4m telescopic bolognese rod thats meant for bream, roach and coarse fish. This the perfect size fish and the feeding is familiar too.
