This place is a true marine convergence zone where large tropical pelagics mix with fishy monsters from the colder waters of the south.
Here Clarke travels into the areas’ fish nursery, the Noosa Everglades, before tackling some serious beach-fishing with locals Wazza and Nugget on the world’s largest sand island, Fraser Island.

The chef Dan in Hervey Bay whips the trevally up into a delicious colourful Beer battered Taco dish.
