Hamilton Island

Well, we have been on Hamilton for two days and it is hot but the family love swimming. I see at the marina they hire out fishing boats and gear. A 15 ft runabout is like $189 for half a day but beggars can't be choosers and our boat is berthed back at Pittwater. A question, has anyone been fishing up here and is it worth hiring a boat at that sort of cost?

Top fishing up there mate but depends if they let you take it far from marina.
Cid Island just north of Hamilton has some good fishing.
I also caught GT's off a jetty there. There's fish everywhere but there's also a lot of "no fishing" areas so make sure you get a map or find one on google.

I was up there last year and didn't do any fishing, but my girlfriend started throwing bread in the water across the road from the bakery on the marina because she could see fish in the water - within minutes we had schools of enormous bream, garfish + lots of tropical fish. Unfortunately no fishing rods - but the water is FULL of fish!
