Noosa Charters

[SurfcaztR 707]

Be heading to Noosa for a week and thinking in going on a charter,options are a river charter or open seas.

Anyone done one or both in being able to advise which is better..thanks

Sorry, never done it to give any advice.

But I suppose it may depend on what you wish to target and maybe even weather forecasts.

Hope you enjoy the trip what ever you decide

Noosa Bluewater offshore,great set up good crew and had a ball plenty of striped tuna in the summer and a great experience crossing the bar.

I was up there in winter a few years ago, and wanted to get out and catch some big blue water fish. Here in Adelaide I catch plenty of snapper  - which is great  - but I was hoping to find something different in Noosa.  After waiting for the wind to drop for a few days I got on a charter on a decent sized cat - with a very exciting bar crossing - and headed out for the day in glassy rolling mountains of swell from multiple directions. Good fun really. Only problem was, we only caught snapper  - all day. Nothing as big as the SA big reds either, mainly around 3-4 kg. Gear used was broomstick type rods with locked up alvey reels and circle hooks.  Hmmm. Not exactly finesse fishing. I was told it was in case we hooked up a big grouper. 

 

Cant remember the charter operators name. Other punters on the boat had a good time, but as a keen fisho, I was left a bit disappointed.
