A very popular international tourist destination is the Gold Coast in the State of Queensland, Australia. This area offers a blend of human entertainment with a stunning array of natural attractions to take your breath away. One great idea is to experience a Gold Coast fishing charter. It really is a must that you won't regret. So what is in store if you take up the opportunity to partake of a Gold Coast fishing charter?
First of all it should be said that Gold Coast fishing charter companies are specially geared for people who havent been fishing before, as well as the experts. Also who said that you have to fish anyway? There are some who go for the ride or to simply soak up the sun and all that nature has to offer.
When you choose to go on a Gold Coast fishing charter, you need to choose between fishing in calm water or going offshore. The latter is the excitement adrenalin pumping option. The former is for those that prefer to feel like they are still on land.
Gold Coast fishing charters offer half day and full day charters. The prices vary from $85-$140 for a half day charter to $140-$190 for a full day. Other things to consider include size of boat, comfort, styles of fishing and area's that are visited.
What is provided on a Gold Coast fishing charter? All the fishing gear, bait, food and drink. It's against the law for a charter boat operator to dispense motion sickness tablets. It's advisable that you bring your own motion sickness tablets. If you want you may bring your own fishing equipment.
Gold Coast fishing charters in the main, operate out of the Broadwater which is a sheltered area at the north end of the Gold Coast. Most of the fishing done is reef fishing at depths of 20-90 meters. Weather conditions, time of year, style of fishing and size of boats are all key factors that make for different kinds of experience.
What can you expect to catch on a Gold Coast fishing charter? The main target species are snapper, pearl perch, teraglin, cobia, spotted mackerel, tailor, amberjack and kingfish. However on any day, you could catch up to ten different species, including the speedy pelagic or surface fish such as mahi mahi, sharks, marlin, and wahoo.
When can you go out on a Gold Coast fishing charter? Anytime of the year. However bear in mind that there are two basic types of target fish. They can be termed "warm water" and "cold water" fish. The winter season is the time to focus on bottom or reef fishing. However during the warmer months there is a tremendous opportunity to use live bites or to troll for pelagic fish such as tune.
