Fraser Island and Hervey Bay are both fantastic places to go fishing or to go out on a fishing charter. Fraser island has a reputation for having the best beach fishing on the east coast and when the tailor are running, thousands of fishermen line the beach to join in the fun. National fishing competitions have been held in the Orchid beach are for twenty years and a new Four wheel drive vehicle is the annual prize for this.
Fishing tours and charters from hervey bay are both popular and productive. Charter boats take to customers across the Break Sea Spit bar to fish off the continental shelf and also to the southern gutters and the Rooneys point area. Other charter boats fish the waters of Platypus bay and some smaller ones fish local waters for Whiting, Flathead and Mackerel.
