Top Gear Fishing Charters | Main Beach, Australia

Accordance with responsible drinking guidelines. Note that we do not allow hard liquor or glass bottles on board for safety reasons.

Safety is our top priority at Top Gear Fishing Charters. Our boat is fully equipped with all the necessary safety gear, including life jackets for everyone on board. Our captain, Capt. Brian, has over 40 years of experience on the Gold Coast and is well-versed in boating safety protocols.

In addition to safety, our team is dedicated to helping you catch fish. We use top-of-the-line fishing gear, specialising in brands like Penn and Shimano. Our Paternoster rig, which consists of two hooks on a heavy leader line, ensures maximum hook up and landing rates. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced angler, we're here to assist you every step of the way.

During our fishing charters, we'll explore a variety of fishing techniques and locations. Depending on the season, we may run lures out to and in between reefs, providing an exciting opportunity to catch large predators. We also engage in live bait, float lines, jigging, and bottom bashing to target reef dwellers. Capt.

Brian knows the best spots for various fish species, including Snapper, Marlin, Cobia, Dolphin Fish Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, and more.

Our charters offer flexibility in terms of timing and group size. We have scheduled mixed group departures at 5:30 am and 11:00 am. Private charters are also available with half-day, three-quarter day, or full-day options tailored to your preferences. Longer trips often involve fishing in deeper waters, which tend to hold larger fish.

Gift certificates are also available for those searching for the perfect present.
