Fishing

Just about every Aussie kid has memories of being woken up at four in the morning to go on the family fishing trip. Then there was the long drive out to Dad’s secret fishing spot, the struggle to get the boat into the water, or the scramble over rocks to get to the perfect place to cast out. But it would all be worth it when the first fish of the day was reeled in!

If you’ve never been fishing, it’s time to give it a go in Australia’s waterways. Whether you’re out in a boat on the big blue sea or dropping a line into the waters of the local creek, there’s a fishing adventure just waiting for you! If you want to guarantee a good day’s fishing, a chartered fishing vessel will take you to the best spots, show you how to set up your fishing rod, put on the bait and cast out into the water. Who knows what you might reel in with the right advice?

The kind of fish you catch depends on where you are. Try for barramundi in the Northern Territory, snapper or King George Whiting in South Australia, trout in Tasmania or any number of big game fish when you’re way out to sea in the eastern states. Each region has its own unique species, and you’re sure to love the variety you’ll find on a fishing tour around the country.
