Queenfish fishing in Hervey Bay- FishingBooker

Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay, Australia

hervey-bay

<p style="text-align: justify;">
	The fishing heats up around the Artificial Reef as the water temperatures fall and the Snapper start biting. Close to shore, Bream are feeding up in preparation for their spawn. The number of pelagics around decreases.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Whale fever&rsquo;s in full swing&mdash;take part at the Hervey Bay Ocean Festival, which involves seafood, concerts, and the odd person dressed as a whale. Mackerel fishing starts to heat up, and reef fishing is still good for Snapper.&nbsp;</p>


<div style="text-align: justify;">
	Conditions usually improve as summer sets in, but winds can still keep boats in the dock. Golden Trevally is at its peak, perfect for targeting on the fly. Look out for Mackerel in deeper water for a seasonal treat.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	February fishing continues along the same positive lines as January in Hervey Bay. Longtail and Mack Tuna are racing through the bay, while Golden Trevally is catching eyes in the shallow waters and around the reefs.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	January usually sees the end of the northerly winds, making for a more comfortable day at sea. Reef fishing is good for Sweetlip, Coral Trout, and Moses Perch. Mackerel and Tuna are keeping anglers on their toes.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Tourists flock to Hervey Bay in July to see how close they can get to the Humpback Whales. If you want a fishing and whale watching combo, this is the time to do it! This is also peak season for Bream fishing.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	June fishing in Hervey Bay is mainly about the Snapper&mdash;and you can find yourself some big ones. Whiting is at its peak, and is particularly rewarding around the full moon. Temperatures are in the mid to high teens.</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	As Autumn arrives, temperatures drop to the mid 20s celsius. Expect even more Longtail Tunas and excellent reef fishing at dusk and early evening. The Hervey Bay Autumn Fair lifts the town&rsquo;s spirits until May.&nbsp;</p>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Winter&rsquo;s coming, but it doesn&rsquo;t stop the fish. Most reef species start to move out to the deeper reefs, with Snapper, Sweetlip, and Cod fishing getting better and better. Bream move in to spawn at the river mouths.</p>


<div style="text-align: justify;">
	While northerly winds remain a threat, game fishing is getting better and better. Don&rsquo;t miss the Hervey Bay Game Fishing Tournament, which will see anglers heading offshore for Marlin and more.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<div style="text-align: justify;">
	As spring settles in, so do Hervey Bay&rsquo;s notorious northerly winds. These stop boat fishing entirely, so make sure to be flexible with dates. If you do manage to venture out, you&rsquo;ll find the pelagic bite is picking up.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>


<p style="text-align: justify;">
	Spring is in the air, and if you&rsquo;re a fan of Snapper, then you&rsquo;re in luck. They are biting better than ever around the Artificial Reef. Trevally is also better than ever, while Australia&rsquo;s favorite fish, the Flathead, is feeding up.&nbsp;</p>


<div>
	Hervey Bay is a paradise for anyone who loves the ocean. Sheltered by the 123 km (76 mile) long Fraser Island, this waterway is home to both tropical and temperate fish species. Big game and surf fishing are equally good, while reef fishing is some of the best in the world. A selection of Hervey Bay fishing charters is available to test your angling skills, targeting Tuna and Trevally on the fly or heaving up huge Snappers and Coral Trout from the reefs.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	This protected expanse of water attracts visitors from all over the world from July to November, when there&rsquo;s one word on everyone&rsquo;s lips: whales. Vast pods of humpback whales come here every year during their annual migration, seemingly using the bay as a restful pitstop in the middle of their 10,000 km journey.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Come here for the fishing, though, and you&rsquo;ll find that the season lasts much longer than 4 months&mdash;there&rsquo;s something going on in these waters all year round. Whether you&rsquo;re looking to fill the Esky or to test yourself against some of the world&rsquo;s top pelagic game fish, you won&rsquo;t be disappointed. The only problem with Hervey Bay fishing is choosing what to tackle first.&nbsp;</div>
<h3>
	Known for</h3>
<div>
	Hervey Bay (both the body of water and the town with the same name) is located in the south of Queensland, and is a paradise for nature lovers of all types. And thanks to its ample accommodation and dining options, as well as the area&rsquo;s numerous tackle shops, it&rsquo;s the perfect base for a vacation by the water. Looking out onto Fraser Island, the largest sand island on the planet and a World Heritage Site, this is a town that simply can&rsquo;t be visited without getting out on the water to explore. And with Hervey Bay fishing being so diverse, there&rsquo;ll be plenty to find.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h3>
	Where to fish</h3>
<div>
	The best Hervey Bay fishing spots are in reach of a day&rsquo;s boat ride, which is good news for charter anglers. Even shorter trips will take you exploring the bay&rsquo;s numerous islands, mangrove creeks, tidal flats, and reefs. The hottest spots include Big Woody Island, whose north-eastern side is home to a reef known bleakly as &ldquo;The Graves&rdquo;. Don&rsquo;t let the name put you off, though&mdash;this area houses delicious bottom fish like Mulloway, Morwong, Sweetlip, Parrotfish, and Snapper.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Head beyond that and you&rsquo;ll find Little Woody Island. The north of the island houses broad sandy flats that are ideal for wading and sight fishing the Bay&rsquo;s crystal clear waters for Golden Trevally and more (watch out for Sharks!)&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Head out on a full day charter and you can see just how diverse this fishery is. Hotspots include the &ldquo;Southern Gutters&rdquo;, halfway between Bundaberg and the top of Fraser Island. Here, a number of deep holes attract a whole array of bottom feeders and pelagic fish, including but not limited to Coral Trout, Cod, Trevally, Tuskfish, Mackerel, Kingfish, Marlin and Tuna. You can also try the wreck of the Chin-Chow, a boat that sank near Fraser Island about a century ago and is now a hotspot for Giant Trevally, Amberjack and Cobia, to name a few. Rooney&rsquo;s Point, right at the tip of Fraser Island, is famous for its Juvenile Black Marlin and Longtail Tuna, and&mdash;you guessed it&mdash;much more.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	For those who want go the extra mile, the continental shelf drops quickly just beyond Fraser Island. This is where the real big game action starts. Look out for Blue, Black, and Striped Marlin in the summer, as well as Sailfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Mahi Mahi. You will need at least 10-12 hours to fully experience this, with some charters offering multi day trips for diehard anglers.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Land-based anglers can sample a teaser of what&rsquo;s available by fishing the iconic Urangan Pier. While this won&rsquo;t give you access to the diversity of species available further offshore, Urangan pier fishing can lead to some good catches of Whiting (especially in the spring), as well as Queenfish, Trevally and Mackerel in deeper waters at the end of the pier. Shelly Beach, the Urangan Steps, and the walls of the Great Sandy Strait Marina also have potential for people who don&rsquo;t have access to a boat (or who don&rsquo;t want to put their fishing rod down after their charter trip!)</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<h3>
	Need to know</h3>
<div>
	<u>Get there:</u> Hervey Bay is 290 km (180 miles) north of QLD&rsquo;s state capital of Brisbane. This is roughly a 3 &frac12; hour drive. You can also reach the city by high speed Tilt Train, which stops at nearby Bundaberg and Maryborough direct from Brisbane. Hervey Bay has its own airport, with flights from Brisbane and Sydney.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<u>Budget:</u> Trips start at $150 AUD per person for a shared half day trip. Full day shared trips cost around $200 inshore and $250 offshore. Private trips average around $500 AUD for a group for a half day or $700-$1000 for a full day. Full day sportfishing trips start at $1500 per group.</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	<u>Rules and regulations:</u> You don&rsquo;t need a fishing license to fish in Queensland, apart from in certain stocked impoundments. Season closures and bag limits apply to some species and change on a yearly basis. It&rsquo;s not allowed to keep Queensland Groper, Humphead Maori, and Barramundi Cod, among others. See more here.&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	&nbsp;</div>
<div>
	Stalking the flats for Trevally on the fly, stocking up on big and colourful reef fish while watching the whales swim by, or battling big game. Hervey Bay has it all&mdash;the only thing you need to do is give it a go for yourself.&nbsp;</div>
