I'm Drewe, skipper of Top Gear Fishing Charters. Fishing has always been a huge part of my life and over the years it's grown into a real addiction. I've spent countless hours on the water learning how fish behave, where they move, and what it takes to consistently catch them. Time on the ocean builds experience, and experience is what puts fish on the deck. I'm also a father of three boys, and providing for my family while building something meaningful around the ocean is something I take a lot of pride in. Through my ancestors being native to this land and ocean, I've always felt a natural connection to the water. Running charters allows me to live that every day — chasing fish and sharing the experience with others. Whether you're an experienced angler or trying fishing for the first time, my goal is simple: give you a great day on the water and the best chance of landing something memorable.

    Outstanding morning out onnthe water!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    I took my son out for his birthday and he had one goal for the day: catch something he could bring home and feed the family with. Safe to say, he was pretty happy to tick that box! We caught some great flathead and trag jew and had an awesome morning doing it. The captain was outstanding. Great energy from start to finish, really good with my son, and you could tell he was genuinely out there to make sure everyone had a great time. His energy rubbed off on the whole boat and made the experience even better. A fantastic birthday experience for my son and a morning we’ll both remember. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough!

    gold coast big one!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    We had an incredible experience on this fishing charter from start to finish! The captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the trip. Their expertise and hard work put us right on the fish, and they were always willing to share tips and answer questions. The highlight of the day was catching a huge shark, which made for an unforgettable experience and an amazing story to tell. The boat was well-maintained, the trip was well-organized, and the crew went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting, and successful fishing trip, I highly recommend this charter. We can’t wait to come back! in

    You win some, you lose some !

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    Drew and the crew were absolute legends and were very accomodating and knowledgable, unfortunately the fish weren’t on today and we weren’t able to get to the spots due to a technical malfunction and needed a tow back in. Spirits were kept high and Drew offered us another trip to have a proper crack. Would recommend booking this charter with Drew and his crew. Side note also came in kissing distance with a pod of whales which was unreal.

    Drewe was knowledgeable and fun

    Half Day Trip Shared (PM) • 2 adults

    Great experience, we caught lots of fish and even had a go at a shark! Recommend you bring snacks, water, sweat shirt/jumper, flip flops/thongs plus an insulated bag and ziplocs to store th fish you go home with. Also they're nt allowed to clean the fish for you so it might be convenient t bring your own filet knife.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much for coming out and glad we could put a smile on your face!!! Thanks again. 🫡🏴‍☠️

    My son and his mate had a great time. Well looked after, had a good laugh as well. We had to eat the catch for lunch. Well worth the trip.
