Things to Consider:

Season

Time of year, if you have arrived in our beautiful dry season (June-August), then you will have to work very hard to catch a rod. We know that hasn’t stopped anglers before, but as the water temperature cools, so does the bite bar. But it’s the best time to hit the blue waters, Gold Coast Harbor is teeming with large Spanish mackerel, jewfish, milkfish and other reefs.

Travel time

In the mood to fish? And not spend hours driving to billabongs and boat ramps at odd hours to catch the tides? Consider a trip from Gold Coast Beach, with great access to the mangroves (bar, trevally and mud crabs) and Harbour.

Boat

Boats are designed with open decks and we only recommend fishing 2–4 anglers depending on the size of the boat. Look for an operator that uses a custom boat designed for maximum comfort and fishing opportunities. You won’t want to miss out on the action because only half of your group can safely cast lures into the small mangrove channels and inlets where barra are commonly found. Larger groups are much better accommodated in the blue water, where everyone can descend onto the reefs without the risk of entanglement and snagging.

Gear

Are you familiar with baitcasters, the most commonly used rods for rod catching? Highly recommended as they allow greater maneuverability and allow the experienced angler to cast to an exact point or hook where their target species awaits. If you are new to using baitcasters, then choosing a destination and operator that can teach you or mainly haul fish is a good option, and also safer, inexperienced anglers casting lures can be unsettling. Wear your goggles! Sun!

The most important thing is to get out and enjoy our uncrowded waterways, wildlife, and friendly locals. The Gold coast is where anyone willing to try their adventurous luck usually finds it.
