Gold Coast Fishing Reports

Snapper, Pearl Perch and Teraglin are back on the menu at least for the short term on the Gold Coast.
The no take of Snapper over the past six weeks would be of little benefit to fish stocks, as Snapper are not generally targeted at this time of year and no restrictions were applied to our adjoining NSW waters where commercial and recreational fishing of snapper is not regulated to the same degree as QLD.
The inclusion of Pearl Perch and Trag in this Closure had a devastating effect on our charters over this period. Although Mackerel fished reasonably good, two great seasons in a row, some days we missed out and guest went home for meat pies. I believe that this closure was politically driven and VERY CONCERNED THAT THE NEW MINISTER HASN'T RULED OUT 4 MONTH CLOSURES.
I won't be voting for Anna Blighs green labour party.On the bright side, our full day charters will now be targeting Snapper, Pearl Perch, King Fish and Amberjack. Follow us here for latest gold coast fishing reports and news.
