Airlie Beach Trip Planned

[ilk fish]

Greeting all fishraiders

With airfares on special, i got a trip to airlie beach for 109$ each way, which is a bargain.

apparently now, its gone down to $85 each way.

i will be there from the 3rd of september

planning to mainly fish the shore, as apparently theres good prospects for giant trevally.

if all goes well , i wouldnt mind planning another trip there, but this time i will do some

research on camping in one of the many island national park camp sites.

so far i know that a boat company does the regular rounds of dropping off and picking up

campers at very reasonable rates.

if any one has had any experience from airlie and or whitsundays it would be nice to hear from

them

regards ilk

G'day Ilk, you can hire a tinny from Shute Harbour (15 mins from Airlie Beach) for the day - there is plenty of stuff on the bite...last year i was up there and went for an impromptu fish and got busted off a number of times on the 5kg handlines they give you with the boat. Next time i will bring my own gear

Was up on hamilton with some mates in may and chartered a game fishing boat called Marlin Blue. The slipper and deckie were fantastic... really knew their stuff. We caught around 8 spanish macks all around 1.5m and longer.

Easily the best fishing ever.

Not cheap but well worth the dosh.

PM me if you want the details of the charter guys.
