Wild Thing Fishing Charters
Book your next trip with Wild Thing Fishing Charters and find out what you’re missing on the Gold Coast.
You will be greeted by Col at the pier. Your skipper and decky are a lively pair who live and breath fishing and can’t wait to help you to catch your fish.
You will catch a variety of species including Cobia, Pink Snapper, Black Jewfish, Tailor, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowfin Tuna, Longtail Tuna, Amberjack, Bigeye Trevally, Flathead, Mahi Mahi, Sweetlip Emperor and many more which can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year. You’ll target your catch by light tackle fishing, trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 31’ Kevlarcat with room for 10 passengers. It has outriggers, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.
There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. A tip for the crew is always welcome but not necessary to show your appreciation for their hard work as they love just getting you out there for a great day on the water.
There’s no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don’t know what to expect, ask the crew.
Drinks and light snacks will be available for you. There will be bottled water, soft drinks, sunscreen (non-spray)and sanitizer on board. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now and then the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen, with Wild Thing Fishing Charters!
