Gold Coast has a fish with your name on it, so let Paradise Fishing Charters help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Tony can tell you all about them.

Cobia, Yellowtail Amberjack, Dolphin (Mahi Mahi), Hammerhead Shark, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, Pink Snapper, Pearl Perch, Flathead, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year.

On the day of your trip you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.

If you're traveling with the family, you will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks so that nobody gets grumpy on an empty belly!

You'll find yourself aboard a 52' Aluminum fishing with capacity for 27 passengers, but can only fish 16 people at a time. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. Mates work hard to make your trip count,

It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water supplied for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation and NO Glass please

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Paradise Fishing Charters.

awesome day
5 Hour Deep Sea Trip AM on April 10, 20261 adult

great experience, a carpet shark was caught. highly recommend. no spainish mac. tony and crew were very nice and welcoming. even had dinner from our catch. for the price you couldn’t let this pass. if you like fishing , get on board. Suncream and water provided. just bring food and your set. made sure you get the right dates when booking, as a group booked for the next weekend. on arrival , tony still resolved the issue, squeezing them in later that day. top crew! top day. thanks guys . hope to do it again, next time I visit. heres to keep reeling them in boys

Five Hour Paradise Deep sea Fishing
5 Hour Deep Sea Trip AM Private on November 2, 202512 adults1 child

We had an excellent time on this fishing trip! From start to finish, the experience was highly positive. The crew was a highlight - they were genuinly friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters and fishing techniques. They made sure everyone felt welcome and assisted promptly when needed. The only real downside we notices was the rod spacing. The fishing spots were set up a bit too close together, resulting in frequent tangled lines. Overall, I would recommend this charter.

Flathead

Response from Charter operator

Thanks for your kind words christo. Because we were drifting everyone had to fish on one side of the boat or the back part Of the boat. If we were on anchor we could have fished all around the boat. As for tangles We get tangles with five people on the boat not much can be done about this This is fishing

5 Hour Deep Sea/Reef Trip PM on April 18, 20261 adult1 child

Best Charter ever, Tony and all the deck hands Brad, Andrew and Murat were amazing. Kept everyone fishing the entire time, if you got a tangle, issues or a fish on they were there to help get you sorted and the line back in the water asap, couldn’t be happier. Caught over 100 fish and loved it, thankyou so much to all
