Have you ever considered going to the Gold Coast, near Brisbane and experiencing a fishing charter? Gold Coast fishing charters work from two points on the Gold Coast. At the northern end from the Nerang River estuary called the Broadwater and at the southern end from the Tweed River. Read on to find out what kind of fish you can expect to catch and when as well as some other delights to behold.
There are two types of Gold Coast fishing charters: deep sea, which is the most common and calm water.
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.
The target fish, when fishing offshore varies between the winter and summer seasons. Gold Coast fishing charter operators tailor the fishing according to these two seasons.
During the summer season, warm water currents flow from the north which can make fishing the deeper reefs (60-90 meters) for bottom dwelling fish quite difficult. On the upside though, the warm currents bring with them many fast pelagic fish such as black marlin, wahoo, mahi mahi and various species of tuna. The other alternative in the summer employed by Gold Coast fishing charters is to target the reefs closer to shore where snapper, teraglin, tailor and a variety of other bottom dwellers are typically caught.
Pelagic fish, meaning the fast swimming larger fish that occupy the upper reaches of the ocean are caught using live baits by Gold Coast fishing charters. For reef fishing, various baits such as squid and pilchards are used.
Winter is the time for Gold Coast fishing charters to seriously target bottom dwelling fish at all depths. The fast moving pelagic fish have moved on. Good catches of snapper, pearl perch, teraglin, amber jack and king fish are possible. On the closer reefs, large cobia seem to follow the northward migration of the humpback whales.
During the winter season, Gold Coast fishing charters become surrogate whale watching charters. Also during this season, more birds such as gannets and albatross appear, probably assisted by relatively less storm disturbances. Whatever your choice or time of year, your Gold Coast fishing charter experience will be unique with the ever changing ocean views, different types of fish caught and opportunities to witness whales, dolphins and turtles and other creatures of the wild.
