Help a newbie please ? Father's Day wknd non-licensed fishing spot, family friendly

[HOWsMom]

Hi everyone.

First post by a newbie.

I am in my 40's - haven't been fishing since I was a child.

We would like to go tomorrow, as Father's Day weekend is open to non-licensed fishing.

2 adults.  3 teens.

No boat.

Oshawa / Durham region area suggestions please ?

Sorry not from the area.

Have you seen people fishing other places?

Mostly in the Oshawa Creek, but it is often guys with wading gear (hip waders?).

We would like to just fish from shore or a dock-type, especially for our first time out.

I hope that makes sense.

Find a pier on Lake Ontario and grab some worms and a few bobbers.
