Gold Coast Fishing Charters Are Not All The Same

By: Kim Raymond

A Gold Coast fishing charter is beckoning you to come on board. You want to go but how the hec do you decide which company to go with? Read on.

Let's start by asking what is pretty much the same between all Gold Coast fishing charter operators? They all provide charters every day of the week with the option of a full or half day experience. All the fishing stuff and bait that you need is included in the price as well as food and drinks.

What then are the differences between Gold Coast fishing charters? The differences are mainly three fold: the boat travelled on, the kind of fishing carried out and where you go.

Regarding Gold Coast fishing charter boats there is a wide range of options. You can go with a mono (single) hulled boat which tend to be larger and slower boats made of fibre glass. Catarmarans that are dual (double) hulled and the usually smaller tinnies (aluminimum boats).

So how do you decide the Gold Coast fishing charter that is just right for you and your group? If you and your group are fairly young and you dont mind a rough ride, go with a dual hulled catarmaran or aluminimum boat. You will save on travel time and hopefully get more time for fishing. If you place a high premium on comfort, go with a larger single hulled boat

The next point of difference between Gold Coast fishing charters lies in the type of fishing you can expect. The most common type of fishing is reef fishing which allows for everyone on the boat to be actively fishing. The other is trolling which is passive for most of the people on board but opens the opportunity wider for larger game fish to be caught.

Gold Coast fishing charter operators vary in terms of the destinations where they choose to fish. You may go with an operator to a reef that is close by and therefore travel time is reduced. At the same time the chances are higher that the area is heavily fished.

If the size and number of fish caught is really important, you are better off requesting to be taken to the more distant reefs even though it reduces the actual time spent fishing.

In conclusion, consider the skipper of the boat in terms of his/her range of experience and knowledge. Choose the skipper who can provide you with the kind of fishing and locations you and your group prefer.
