Anyone have hervey bay artickles?

[Crazy_Charlie]

Hi!

Am looking at going up to Hervey Bay to see if I can fool one of those Goldens. Does anyone have any articles, or links to articles about this kind of fishing?

I have been thinking of hiring a guide for a day, and try a few days on my own. How likely is it that you see and/or catch a golden trevally in a days fishing? if it is slim chanses, I won't hire a guide. Then I rather hire one for some barra fishing, as I can only afford one days guiding on my Australia venture. That is all I'm alowed by the misses...

Can you guys tell me how much a guide charges for a days fly fishing on the flats? And who do you reccomend?

Thank you!

And if any of you need a fishing partner I might be able to help

Thight lines!

why would you use a out of towner? where Nat from? 200km away?

use a local, use a locals knowledge.
support local business and Paul has a 100% success rate in providing fish

go to your local newsagent and ask to get a mag called ' Lets Go Fishing " from Hervey Bay. Has lots of good oil !

Nat is pretty much a local up there too, as Dazz said he worked for Sid Boshammer a fair bit. Also, last year him and Paul Dolan were helping each other out with charters so that must mean something...

I have never met Paul but heard only good things about his guide service, and Nat is a mate and I can only say good things about him too...

Alex,

Back to your original question, here is the first article ever written on the Hervey Bay Goldens:

Paul is the only guide I have know to respect not only his client but his fishing surrounding's aswell, Enjoy your birthday money Alex go with pual, he has a wealth of knowlage of all types of fishing so it will be a great way to get a lesson on QLD fishing aswell as a golden trevalley.

Couldn't go past Paul and if the weather gods are angry he'll take you to Lenthalls for barra and bass.

Wake up to your self mate, obviously you don't know to many guides....... [smiley=angryfire.gif]

These guys all rely on their clients and the surroundings to put food on the table.

I don't know Paul but I am sure that he does what you say and respects his clients and the enviroment, but I am yet to meet a a sportsfishing guide who doesn't, and I don't reckon you have either.

Sorry to the forum for the nature of this post but that comment has got my blood boiling

Hi Alex ,

As mentioned the guide I would be useing up there is Paul Dolan have been out with him on numerous occassions and he has always gone above and beyond the call of duty to not only find fish but get you onto them a genius when it comes to Goldens in the bay.
