About Us

Your professional fishing guide Clint and has over 25 years experience in the Surfers Paradise, Southport, Gold Coast, Jumpinpin, region and will provide a great day’s fishing and cruising along South Stradbroke island, only one hour’s drive from Brisbane!

Our charters cater for anglers of all ages and experience, and we specialise in private charters for small groups. Our trips are all on calm water so no seasickness to worry about.

Main Target species are Flathead, Whiting, Bream, Tailor, Trevally, Mulloway and Mangrove Jack. We target estuary and reef fish with lures and bait on the beautiful, calm waters of the Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales region.

We love nothing more than educating families with kids, catching whiting, flathead or bream with fresh bait, or trolling and casting lures for a variety of species.

We don’t just catch fish, we teach you the secrets of how, where and when. Charters are available for 1 to 6 people.

We look forward to being your guides for the day!
