I hope someone can help with my quest!

I have a young son who is bursting to have a go at fishing. He is
particularly keen to eat anything that he might catch, so I thought sea
fishing would be just the job. However I am no angler and have no idea

where
I should take him...

I am based in the Reading area, so the obvious venues are either

Southsea or
Hayling Island. Are either of these suitable for a young lad with a rod,
reel, spinners and a few feathers? As the rod is quite short, casting

miles
from the beach is not an option. What do the panel suggest, bearing in

mind
the priority is to have fun (this is a potential hobby so I don't want

to
put him off) and perhaps catch nothing more exotic than perhaps a

mackerel?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Andy.

If you have a car for transport then you could try at Weston Shore In

Southampton, There is a long disused oil jetty reaching out into the
Southampton water that you can fish from, you could drop the wife at the
shopping center and spend the rest of the day fishing. There is also a stone
beach that the kiddies can play on when they get fedup..Rick.
