The 9 Hour Deep Sea Sunshine Coast Fishing Charter.
Aimed squarely at the experienced and keen offshore angler! Our 9 hour deep sea fishing charters – also known as a FULL day – are considered the one of the best ways to experience TRUE Deep Sea Fishing. The greater length of time of this fishing charter allows us to devote a much larger amount of the trip to really focus on chasing that trophy fish for you!!
By far the most popular and common deep sea fishing charter generally. We do still really recommend this as the minimum duration to those guests with some reasonable amount of experience in Deep Sea Fishing, or of course those guests ready to build on their existing experience. The longer duration of this charter not only allows for a lot more time for fishing, it also enables us to increase the distance we are able to travel to the fishing locations. This enables us to make great use of the Barwon Banks Reef system on these trips!
For those fairly or even completely new to deep sea fishing, it can often prove somewhat overwhelming, and difficult to master the technique needed to make the most of this charter. Hence the reason its is considered the first of the more “Hard-Core” / “Trophy Fish Chasing” charter offerings. The deeper waters, stronger currents and larger fish normally pose a far greater challenge which can make for a difficult day if you have not had experience at sea before. The reality is that on these more “hardcore” fishing charters, skill plays an increasingly greater role in the overall success!
Less experienced fishing enthusiasts should strongly consider shorter duration charters if at all possible. Usually our 5 hour or 7 hour charters are a much better fit in such cases! Although we will never enforce these guidelines on any of our guests, we believe we should always offer you the charter we believe is most likely best suited to the experience you are looking for! In the end the decision remains yours of course.
Our sunrise 9hr charters include a BBQ lunch, and both our sunset and evening 9hr charters include a BBQ dinner.
