A great way to spend time on the Gold Coast, Queensland is to take a fishing trip on a charter boat. Gold Coast fishing charters operate from the Nerang River estuary known as the Broadwater at the northern end of the Gold Coast and the Tweed River at the southern end of the Gold Coast. So what can you expect to catch and experience during your Gold Coast fishing charter given that no two days are the same when it comes to fishing?
Gold Coast fishing charters can be divided into two basic categories: calm water and deep sea (offshore fishing).
Gold Coast fishing charters that run boats in the calm waters of the Broadwater, generally use small boats for up to six passengers. They generally target flat head, bream and whiting species of fish using light tackle. Sometimes offshore fish species such as snapper are caught here.
Most Gold Coast fishing charters are geared for deep sea fishing which makes it possible to catch some really large fish. Also it is common to view dolphins and whales as well as the opportunity to view the Gold Coast and mountainous hinterland looking from the ocean.
According to the summer to winter seasons, Gold Coast fishing charter operators adjust their plans accordingly.
The summer season is the perfect time for Gold Coast fishing charters to target pelagic fish such as wahoo, black marlin, mahi mahi and tuna. The summer season corresponds with warm water currents flowing from the north hence the arrival of these larger fish. In terms of reef fishing for bottom dwelling species it is better to avoid the deeper reefs and focus on the reefs closer to shore where snapper, teraglin, tailor and other species abound.
On Gold Coast fishing charters, the pelagic fish are caught using small live baits whilst for reef fishing (for bottom dwelling fish species) various types of bait are used.
When winter comes around, the fast traveling pelagic fish will have moved on. Now is the time for Gold Coast fishing charters to exclusively target reef fish at all depths. At the deeper reefs (60-90 meters) good catches of snapper, teraglin, pearl perch, amberjack and king fish are possible. Closer to shore, large cobia are target ted.
The winter season off the Gold Coast becomes an ideal location to witness the breathtaking appearance of whales, dolphins and turtles along with an increased abundance of various bird life. So who says that the only reason you go on a Gold Coast fishing charter is to fish? Which ever season you choose to go on a Gold Coast fishing charter, your experience will be unforgettable.
