Competition is fierce among anglers and if you’re heading to a popular fishing gold coast spot on a sunny Sunday afternoon during the school holidays, you’ll need a ticket if you want to cast your line.

A place to fish on the Gold Coast
The Gold Coast has a mild climate and is located almost in the middle of Australia’s coastline, offering a variety of fishing environments, from the continental shelf to large freshwater dams. Please fish somewhere and catch delicious food. If you have a boat, the possibilities are endless. Cruise to broadwater, rivers, streams, or oceans to the location indicated by the electronic fishfinder.
Once you get to land, you still have a lot of options. For whiting, sea bream and flathead, it is an excellent tactic to fish directly at the mouth of the seawater stream at dawn or dusk when the tide changes. There are hundreds of such places along the coast. With the proper understanding, you can leave with your loot. In winter, you can try tail fishing from rocks or from long piers with sardines and good baits.
Most importantly, you shouldn’t just go to a crowded place, especially during the school holiday season. Just because 100 people are fishing in a particular place does not mean that there are fish there. If you’re looking for something else, there’s a pleasant surprise. It is common to find sharks and sea turtles in “estuaries” that most people mistake for dirty stormwater drains. If you’re looking for something different, you’ll be pleasantly surprised: it’s common to find sharks and sea turtles in “estuaries” that most people would consider dirty stormwater drains.
What to fish
If you have the time, it’s worth trying a deep-sea fishing charter. In the open sea, there are giant marlins, tuna, snappers, mackerels and sharks (to name a few), and there are plenty of guides and boats to help you get the most out of your time on the water.
Bream, whiting and sizable flathead can be fished from the beach or in the many estuaries that dominate the Gold Coast coastline. Snapper and tailor prowl the rocks in winter.
