dylantownsend34 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hi I was planning on taking my fiancé on a fishing trip 2 weeks before the wedding. I’ve been hearing good reviews on the Gold Coast so I think that would be a good place for a pre-wedding fishing trip, right? Are there any fishing charters based in that area that we could join? Is a day charter a good idea or is it better to spend the day fishing instead? Hoping for your responses. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Well if you are looking for saltwater, you'll be looking for a charter whereas if you'd like to go freshwater fishing, you will be looking for a guide. Either way, contact the local chamber of commerce to find out whats in the area. READ REVIEWS BEFORE BOOKING! Have fun and congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 26, 2013 Super User Share Posted June 26, 2013 There are guides for saltwater, I've used them in the keys and in Mexico, generally fish inshore flats. Your guide will pole on a platform looking for fish to sightcast to. Charters usually are on larger center console or cabin cruisers and will have a mate as well as the captain, most target species are bigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 29, 2013 Super User Share Posted June 29, 2013 Given my choice and my age I no longer have the desire to target fish that are several hundred pounds, I've done it and it's fun, but beats the crap out of me at 68 years old. For me it's a toss up on preference, catching moderate sized fish off the beach or going with a guide and targeting fish like a permit on the flats with spinning or fly.

Super User bigbill Posted October 20, 2013 Super User Share Posted October 20, 2013 I took my new bride to niagria falls and it rained for two and one half days. I then went home and took her camping and fishing. We forgot the flipper for the pancakes and eggs so I just tossed them in the air. The camp grounds had showers and I had the camper cap on the truck. We had a blast. Life was great fourty years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
