By booking a lesson, making payment, or participating in any lesson (“Booking”), you (“Participant”, “you”, “your”) confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms on behalf of:
These Terms form a binding contract between you and the school. If booking for a Minor, you confirm you are the parent/legal guardian with authority to bind both yourself and the Minor to these Terms.
Last Updated: January 14, 2026
Our fishing school provides in-person/online, shore-based fishing lessons at public parks and beaches in the Dampier/Karratha area, Western Australia. Lessons include basic land-based fishing techniques suitable for beginners and all skill levels. All lessons include:
Lesson Types:
Key Features:
By booking lessons for any Minor under 18, Parents/Guardians expressly consent to and authorize the school to photograph and/or video their Minor during lessons for marketing and promotional purposes. This includes use on the website, social media platforms, promotional materials, newsletters, and other advertising in perpetuity unless withdrawn in writing.
Parents/Guardians confirm and agree:
ADULT PARTICIPANTS (18+): By booking, you consent to similar photography/videography for marketing purposes (withdrawable by email).
PARTICIPANT RECORDING: Participants may take short personal videos/photos provided this does not interfere with instruction, safety, or other participants.
LEARNING MATERIALS: PDFs, videos, and resources provided remain the school’s intellectual property for personal educational use only. Participants and Parents/Guardians on behalf of minors must ensure that the learning materials are not copied, shared, published, sold, or used commercially without written permission.
Parents/Guardians booking for Minors confirm they have read, understand, and accept these photography requirements on behalf of their child.
All bookings must be made through the website booking system at www.myfishingtrip.net. Full payment is required in advance via credit card or Apple Pay before any lesson can be confirmed. All prices are displayed on the website, including any family or promotional pricing. Future packages and promotions will also be listed on the website. There are no late payment fees, and all prices includes taxes where applicable under Australian law. Once payment is processed, you will receive confirmation via email, and the price displayed at the time of booking will apply to that specific booking. Pricing is subject to change for future bookings.
You may cancel your booking by emailing [email protected]. If you provide at least 2 days’ notice before the lesson start time, you will receive full credit to your account valid for 12 months to book another lesson. Cancellations with less than 2 days’ notice will not receive credit.
The school may cancel lessons due to approaching storms, heavy rain, winds over 17 knots, instructor unavailability, or other safety reasons. You will be notified by email or text message, the evening prior when reasonably possible. In such cases, you will receive full credit or the option to rebook the same lesson on any other available day. No cash refunds are provided – credit only. The school is not responsible for any travel, accommodation, or other costs you may incur due to cancellations.
The minimum age for participation is 8 years. All participants under 18 years (“Minors”) require written parental or legal guardian consent prior to booking. Parents and legal guardians (“Parents/Guardians”) booking on behalf of Minors confirm they have authority to bind both themselves and the Minor to these Terms.
Parents/Guardians are fully responsible for their Minor’s safety and supervision outside of direct lesson instruction periods. The school is not responsible for Minors during toilet breaks, when running, playing games, walking on the beach, or any other unsupervised activities. Parents/Guardians must assess whether their child is ready to participate without constant supervision.
Pick-up and drop-off will be recorded in a signed register. No ID checks will be conducted. Parents/Guardians confirm that only suitable adults will collect Minors from lessons. If a Minor leaves the group without permission or becomes unattended despite instructions, this remains the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility.
There are no specific health, fitness, or swimming requirements for participation, as all lessons are land-based and do not involve entering the water, boats, rocks, or open-water activities. By booking a lesson, you confirm that you (or the Minor you are booking for) are physically able to take part in outdoor activities for the duration of the lesson (60–150 minutes) and can follow instructions safely in a group setting.
Participants and, in the case of Minors, their Parents/Guardians are responsible for ensuring appropriate sun protection and hydration. Each participant must arrive with suitable sun-protective clothing, a hat, sunscreen already applied, drinking water, and any snacks they may need. The school does not provide sunscreen, hats, water, or food. Reminders to drink water, keep hats on, and take two short breaks during longer sessions will be given, but the school is not responsible for sunburn, dehydration, or heat-related illness where these requirements are not followed.
Each lesson begins with a safety briefing covering the use of fishing gear, group behaviour, sun safety and general conduct at the lesson location. By attending a lesson, you agree to listen to and follow all instructions given by the instructor at all times.
Participants must behave safely and respectfully towards the instructor and other students. Bullying, fighting, aggressive behaviour, refusing to follow safety directions, throwing or misusing equipment, or creating an unsafe environment may result in the participant being asked to sit out or removed from the lesson, with no entitlement to a refund or credit. Running, rough play and games may occur as part of the activities, but participants must stay within the designated area and remain with the group during instruction. If a child leaves the group, runs off or fails to follow safety instructions, this remains the responsibility of the Parent/Guardian.
All fishing equipment required for the lesson, including rods, reels, tackle and bait, is supplied by the school. Personal fishing gear is not required and is generally not permitted, as it may cause disruption or safety issues. Participants must use all equipment with care and only as directed by the instructor. If equipment is damaged or lost due to careless or improper use, the school may, at its discretion, ask the Participant or Parent/Guardian to contribute to reasonable repair or replacement costs on case-by-case basis.
The school is operated by a sole trader with 25 years of recreational fishing experience and 9 years working in the fishing industry teaching children and beginners. The instructor holds a current Working with Children Check as required under Western Australian law for activities involving minors.
A first aid kit is available at all lessons. For minor injuries, first aid will be applied where appropriate and the lesson may continue if safe to do so. For serious injuries or where a participant wishes to leave early, parents/guardians will be notified immediately, and all incidents will be documented in writing with parent/guardian signature required. If a participant requires ambulance or medical attention, parents/guardians are responsible for any associated costs.
Lessons take place at public parks and beaches in the Dampier/Karratha area with no water access. The primary risks are sunburn and tripping hazards on sand or uneven surfaces. Participants accept these environmental risks by attending the lessons.
The school reserves the right to cancel lessons due to approaching storms, heavy rain, winds exceeding 17 knots, or other unsafe conditions. Where possible, notification will be sent by email or text the evening prior when reasonably possible. Cancellations for instructor unavailability follow the same credit/rebooking process outlined in Section 4.
Fishing lessons involve inherent risks including sunburn, dehydration, trips/falls on sand/uneven surfaces, minor cuts from fishing gear, and other injuries typical of outdoor recreational activities. Parents/Guardians booking for Minors (under 18) MUST acknowledge and accept ALL these risks on behalf of their child.
By booking and attending lessons, Parents/Guardians confirm:
LEGAL RELEASE (Australian Consumer Law s139A): Parents/Guardians expressly release the school from all liability for death or personal injury to their Minor resulting from inherent risks of recreational fishing lessons.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the school excludes liability for:
Public Liability Insurance: The school holds public liability insurance of $10M. This covers School negligence only and does NOT cover Parent/Guardian failures in supervision, preparation, following instructions, or harm resulting out of the supervision of the school.
By booking lessons for any Minor, Parents/Guardians expressly authorize the school to collect, store, and use their personal information AND their Minor’s personal information (names, ages, contact details, emergency contacts, medical information if provided, photos/videos) strictly for lesson delivery, safety management, communication, and marketing purposes as outlined in these Terms.
Parents/Guardians confirm and accept:
GOVERNING LAW: These Terms are governed exclusively by the laws of Western Australia.
Any complaints, questions or concerns about lessons should be sent to [email protected]. The school owner will respond within 14 days. All complaints will be handled fairly and in good faith.
Contact Details:
The school may update these Terms with 14 day-notice published on the website. Continued booking or participation after changes means you accept the new Terms.

We take great pride in offering a diverse range of services designed to elevate your angling experience to new heights. At our core, we are committed to connecting passionate anglers, whom we refer to as ‘Travelling Anglers,’ with our network of seasoned fishing experts, known as ‘MFT Anglers’ or ‘Locals.’
Travelling Anglers have the privilege of choosing from three distinct packages, each thoughtfully designed to cater to anglers of varying experience levels and preferences. Whether you are a novice seeking foundational knowledge, an intermediate angler looking to refine your skills, or a seasoned pro aiming for advanced insights, our packages are tailored to meet your unique needs.
Upon selecting a package and making the corresponding payment in advance, Travelling Anglers will receive their chosen service promptly via email. For Packages 1 and 2, this entails receiving comprehensive PDF documents created in advance by our MFT Anglers. For Package 3, Travelling Anglers will receive booking information for a direct communication opportunity with an MFT Angler of their choice.
Our commitment to facilitating direct interaction between Travelling Anglers and MFT Anglers is a hallmark of our services. This real-time communication empowers you to engage with seasoned fishing experts through various channels, including messaging, phone calls, and video calls. These channels provide you with the opportunity to seek personalized advice, clarify doubts, and gain insights tailored to your specific angling requirements.
For phone and video calls, our website may provide convenient tools to arrange these interactions, ensuring a seamless experience. Alternatively, your phone number will be shared exclusively with the chosen MFT Angler to coordinate the call. It’s important to note that the contact details of our MFT Anglers will remain confidential and will not be disclosed to Travelling Anglers.
In cases where a scheduled call cannot be answered, we offer the option to reschedule it for a more suitable time. After the second unsuccessful attempt, we will consider the Travelling Angler eligible for a refund or, as an alternative, they may choose to receive the PDF from Package 2.
Notwithstanding MFT Anglers will be compensated for their call services only if the call is attended to in its entirety.
