Choosing When and How To Approach Booking A Gold Coast Fishing Charter

By Kim Raymond


How does one decide as to when one should join a Gold Coast fishing charter, in terms of which day of the week and what time of the year?

You may also be wondering how much time you need to allow for in making a booking to go on a Gold Coast fishing charter. If so does the answer to this question depend upon whether you are organizing a group compared to just going yourself as an individual?

Dealing with the question of the best time of the year to take a Gold Coast fishing charter, there are several noteworthy factors to consider.

The first consideration is to ask yourself "am I able to choose the time of the year to book a Gold Coast fishing charter?" Your holidays from work or business commitments may very well limit your choices. If you are quite limited as to when you can go then the next consideration is whether or not you are wanting to org-anise a whole group to charter the boat, part of a group or just yourself. If it is a whole group then you are advised to contact a suitable charter boat operator as soon as possible, to nail down a preferred date. If you are calling about organising just yourself to go, then you need to know that each charter needs to have a minimum number of paying customers, before the charter can be confirmed. To avoid disappointment then you are best advised to check with a potential charter boat operator periodically.

When booking a Gold Coast fishing charter, rest assured that Queensland winter temperatures are pretty mild compared to winters in the northern hemisphere.

The third consideration when deciding to book a Gold coast fishing charter is the question of what kind of fish you want to catch and consequently the size of fish that you want to target.

If you have decided that you have a preference to target larger fish such as marlin, mackerel, tuna and so on then you are best advised to book a Gold coast fishing charter during the summer months of the year. By the way, these fish are invariably caught through trolling.

Whereas if you are content to catch smaller fish that are found on the reefs, you have a larger range of months to choose when to book your Gold Coast fishing charter (ie from April-October)

So in choosing the best day of the week to book a Gold Coast fishing charter, just be aware that weekends are the busiest time. If the Christmas period is your choice time, then make sure you book months in advance. During the off season, a few weeks in advance is usually sufficient to nail down your best time.

Regarding the composition of a Gold Coast fishing charter, some operators build charters with individuals. Other companies give preference to group bookings.

Finally, it is prudent to keep a track of weather patterns, as a guide to knowing when to book your Gold Coast fishing charter. However it is noteworthy to say that boat captains vary in what they deeem to be safe weather to venture out in.
