A short, hop, skip and a jump from the Urangan Marina in Hervey Bay is Round Island. We regularly spend a day on Round Island sitting in the crystal-clear water escaping the summer heat while the kids run and play around us. The sand at Round Island may not be the pure white powdery sand…

Fishing Patterns
I receive quite a few messages through my Fish That Snag Facebook page from people seeking information for using soft and hard body lures. Usually their questions relate to the style of retrieves to use while targeting a certain species of fish or when using a certain lure type. Almost always, I refer them to…
Surface Fishing Addiction
Picture This… Picture this in your mind. It is early morning. The first rays of sunlight are slowly reaching over the horizon. There is the slightest chill in the air & you are standing on the front casting deck of your boat. It is still. There is not a ripple on the water surrounding you….

That being, that they are all incredibly observant, at times freakishly in tune with what is happening within the environment around them. Excellent observation skills, extensive experience on the water and a thorough knowledge of the…
Fishing for King Threadfin Salmon in Hervey Bay
Like most anglers, I love the sound of a fishing reel’s drag screaming. As a fish makes a run for freedom, viciously shaking its head trying to dislodge the hook and using all its might. In what sometimes feels like an effort to pull we, the angler, into the water. King Threadfin Salmon, more commonly…
Staying at K’gari (Eurong) Beach Resort on Fraser Island
K’Gari Fraser Island, there is certainly something very special about the largest sand island in the world. Some people call it Fraser. Others stick to the indigenous Butchulla name for the island, being K’Gari. All I know, is that every time I step foot onto Fraser Island, I experience a complete feeling of relaxation. Time…
