Book your next trip with Get Out & About Whitsundays Fishing and find out what fishing in Hideaway Bay is all about. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Andrew knows them forwards and back.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Golden Trevally, Narrow-Barred Spanish Mackerel, Bluefin Tuna, Queenfish, Bigeye Trevally, Coral Trout, Nannygai, Albacore Tuna, Spangled Emperor, Cobia, Fingermark Bream, Morwong, and whatever else takes the bait. During the trip, you might be spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Andrew will bring you aboard a 21’ Polycraft center console with a capacity for 5 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It’s never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). Bottled water will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food on longer trips and some light snacks for you on board.

I’ve been fishing my whole life from the rocks in Mornington to the Goulburn River around Seymour, off the Jetty in Glenelg, 'till I was old enough to drive when I first came to Queensland to fish around the mouth of the Don River. Fishing is my life, and I love to share my knowledge with people every day.
