We are very lucky fishos here on the Fraser Coast. Living in close proximity to the world's largest sand island and arguably Australia's premier surf fishing destination, means we can visit Fraser Island anytime we wish.

We can enjoy its wondrous natural vistas and incredible landscapes, and of course, take advantage of the world-class surf fishing Fraser's expansive beaches offer.

Adventure, fantastic scenery and incredible fishing awaits those willing to take on what many tourists travel half way around the world to see. Fraser Island is right on our doorstep and a mere barge ride away. If you are yet to experience the majesty of this world heritage listed gem, then you have definitely been missing out. You should consider a trip in coming months when the fishing will be peaking.

Fraser Island's surf fishing scene really fires over the next few months and lots of regular visitors will flock to the island for (hopefully) what will be a repeat of the insane surf fishing experienced over there last year. The best fishing in decades was declared by many last spring and a significant wet season since then has many of us expecting big things again this season.

So, if you are new to the concept of surf fishing, and you would like to give it a try, then read on. If you would like to expand your horizons to incorporate some of the most enjoyable fishing and camping in a wild and incredibly interesting location, then the following tips will help you gear up and get ready.

If you're ready to gear up for your surf fishing adventure, come visit us in-store and chat with our team, or check out our Surf Fishing collection online. We've got everything you need to make the most of your time on Fraser Island.
