Hello Backing Whitsundays
Spend the day with Hello Backing Whitsundays and let them show you what makes the fishing in Airlie Beach so memorable!
These waters are known for Barramundi, Coral Trout, Crab, Bluefin Trevally, Golden Trevally, Giant Trevally, Yellowfin Tuna, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On these trips, you can expect to drift using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Nick also offers fly fishing.
Hello Backing Whitsundays welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Don't forget to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 19' Sportsman center console that holds up to 3 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Your captain will provide rods and reels.
There's no need to buy a fishing license if we are fishing the islands. You will need to buy a fishing licence when we fish the dam. So all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be food and some light snacks provided on board.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Hello Backing Whitsundays is just a click away. Rod hire is available for $100 extra all breakages must be paid for.

Full Day Trip on October 26, 2026 • 2 adultsBodi was a great guide and showed patience in showing us new techniques. managed to catch a tuna on the fly which was a highlight. Would definitely recommend!
Cheryl Lee3.7VerifiedNewThe crew where amazing. We cut the trip short due to rain. Our choice. But I felt we paid $1250.00. Then to ask for $100 rod hire was a bit rude. All up the trip cost .$1350.00.
