? The Longtails Have Arrived! ?

June 13, 2026 Gold Coast 5 photos

Trip Summary

The winter tuna run is well and truly underway on the Gold Coast, with the longtail tuna finally showing up in good numbers! Saturdayโ€™s charter delivered some fantastic action, with the crew landing 6 quality longtail tuna and boating a solid cobia. Unfortunately, the taxman was working overtime, with another 4 longtails falling victim to the sharks before we could get them to the boat! ?? Despite the sharks stealing a few, there was no shortage of excitement with screaming drags, hard-fighting fish, and plenty of happy anglers heading back to the dock. We also received an incredible review from Matthew after the trip: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ โ€œIโ€™ve been going on fishing charters for 20 years and todayโ€™s outing was by far the best fishing charter experience Iโ€™ve ever had.โ€ He went on to praise Gayle, Colin, George, and Skipper Todd, highlighting the effort, patience, and determination that goes into making every trip a success. Reviews like this mean everything to us and are a reflection of the hard work our crew puts in every day to ensure our guests have the best possible experience on the water. The longtail tuna season is only just getting started, so now is the perfect time to get onboard and experience the action for yourself! ?

? JULY ON THE WATER WITH WILD THING! ? What a cracking day out on the water! July certainly delivered for this charter, with the crew putting together an impressive haul and plenty of smiles along the way. ? The highlight of the day was this absolute cracker of a tuskfish โ€” what a fish! ?? A few photos simply donโ€™t do justice to the size, colour and power of these fish when you see them up close. And it wasnโ€™t just one or two fish eitherโ€ฆ the esky was stacked! ? The crew boated a fantastic mixed bag of quality reef fish, including tuskies, snapper and plenty more, making for one seriously successful July charter. Thereโ€™s something pretty special about spending a day on the water, chasing quality fish and coming home with a feed for the family. ?โ˜€๏ธ This is what youโ€™re missing when you donโ€™t book a day with Wild Thing Fishing Charters! ?
