Gold Coast Shark Fishing Charters

GC fishing are the coasts only provider of dedicated Gold coast Shark fishing charters and tours.
Feel the power as a 300kg man eater takes the bait. Prepare for hours of brutal combat as we do battle with some of the biggest sharks Queensland has to offer. Equally important we actively target and catch a variety of species of sharks including: Hammerheads, Mako’s, Bronze whalers, Tigers, Bull sharks and more.

Our experienced owner operators will blast you out to the local reefs on board our modern fibreglass vessels Fat Hooker and Seaquest. Once anchored up over the reef you will be briefed on the use of the equipment and the baits will be set. Accordingly we will then begin burleying the water to attract the sharks to the baits. Truly experience the adrenaline rush as the reel screams and the shark makes a run for it. once the hook is set we will harness you up and the battle begins. You choose to go it alone or share the rod between the group. Our Gold coast shark fishing charters are a great team building exercise and are excellent for corporate and sports groups alike.
