Fraser Island Beach Fishing Autumn 2012

Many Queensland fishermen and fisherwomen love the beach fishing at Fraser Island, and this week-end  FishMax is sending a 4 man team to sample what Autumn has to offer in this fisherman's paradise.

Reports from our people on the ground are that there is good Dart under the white water along the Eastern beach and Sand Whiting in the low tide gutters so we'll be travelling slowly with our new Alvey gear on the low tide as well as trying our luck on the high tide at night and we'll be sure to let you know how the new Alvey rods and reels perform. Of course being Fraser, even at this time of year there is also a chance of landing other bigger species, so we'll be sure to let you know how it goes. We'll also be going after the rock species off the headlands between Indian Head and Waddy Point.

We're also lucky that as Ford Australia are giving us a chance to field test the new Ranger Double Cab Ute, so we'll be giving you our views on whether this is really the ideal fishing 4WD that many say it is. We're looking forward to comparing it against the Tritons, Pajeros and Land Cruisers we normally drive.

For the first time this year, our  FishMax team will be staying at Eurong Beach Resort which, with its absolute beach front position on 75-mile beach makes it the perfect base for fishing the Eastern side of Fraser Island.

Special thanks to our product sponsors, Alvey, Ford Australia and Eurong Beach Resort.
