I would suggest anywhere you catch a lot of fish yourself. Otherwise, you will be wandering around, increasing the risk of catching nothing when the important moment arrives. Doing your homework (meaning on the water) in advance will increase odds for your daughter. Find your own hot spots first. Except for rare occasions, fishing is no longer as easy as simply dropping a hook in the water.

Technique and personal experience takes precedence over a random list of locations, which can be almost anywhere. Also, if such a predictable fishing gold mine existed, then there would be so many boats fishing there that the supply of fish would be quickly exhausted in favor of other less known places.

What about taking her to pump ghost shrimp in Mariner's Basin at low tide? That can be fun and predictable.

Or find someone who YOU KNOW catches fish every time they go out to accompany you as a guide? The guide can set you up with the right gear for the right place and put you on the fish, then you can focus on helping your daughter. Is she ready to cast and retrieve, or do you simply want to drop a baited hook and wait?

During the cooler winter months, trout fishing can be fun for a 5 year old at a place they fill with Whitewater and DFG farm fish on a regular basis. Cast PowerBait out on a 2# test line Carolina rig and wait for the action. Baked trout mixed with mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish makes great "tunafish" sandwiches.

Santee Lakes has pumped a lot of fish. Lake Murray has been good in the past, but it depends on how much the lake managers want to spend on fish plants. Both places are beautiful, fun, safe for children and nice picnic areas.
