Fishing Fraser Island
You Can Dip Your Lines Fishing on Fraser Island All Year Round
Cathedrals On Fraser invites avid fishermen from all over to pitch a tent any time of the year, since every season is a good season when you come fishing on Fraser Island. Never return home without anything on your hook as the best fishing spots always have an abundance of swallowtails, breams, Spanish mackerel and flatheads to name only a few of the opportunities waiting for your bait on our part of the coastline.
What You Can Expect From Cathedrals On Fraser Regarding Fraser Island Fishing
Many local fishermen flock to our island annually to become one with nature while relaxing by the ocean with lines dipped into the water, success only a bite away.
- We have the perfect location on the eastern side of the island. The geographical layout of the eastern side of Fraser Island turned it into a favourable spot for fishing as the surf gutters there form a great shelter for many schools of fish.
- The best fishing spots are located right in front of our camping grounds. It is the most convenient location when you want to be off to the waters at dawn. The best times of the day to wet your lines with tremendous success is during dawn and dusk, although you are bound to be busy reeling in the lines during the entire day under these perfect conditions.
Fishing isn’t limited to a particular season. You can pitch your tent on our grounds any time of the year and expect to have a very rewarding fishing trip.

General safety information
Safe Driving on Fraser Island
Aim to travel two hours either side of low tide wherever possible. Ensure you are not driving on the beach two hours either side of high tide.
It is recommended that you reduce tyre pressure before you get to Fraser Island. This is even more important if you are towing (don’t forget to reduce your trailer/caravan tyre pressures too!) If you are an inexperienced driver or towing a trailer or caravan, we recommend taking the Mantaray barge out of Rainbow Beach to avoid the need to take an inland track. Generally, the eastern beach route will be a smoother journey. During dry weather the sand at Inskip Point can become very soft and vehicles can easily get bogged getting on and off the barge.
