Holiday fishing on the Sunshine Coast

by Top Catchon 20 July 2020in blog

 Here are some of the holiday highlights, had some really good days so far and some slower but overall very happy with results. Its good to be back!! We landed our biggest snapper for the season so far at 81cm well done Kerry, also been getting ready for the snapper and pearl perch closure, that is coming into effect on the 15th July – 16th August by honing our soft plastic and jigging skills, ready to target cobia, kingfish and amberjack on the full day charters.

CORONA VIRUS/COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS – NEWS UPDATE

by Top Catchon 9 May 2020in blog

Its good news too, CORONA VIRUS CAN’T BEAT US, WE ARE BACK IN BUSINESS! We are now taking bookings for next weekend. We are allowed to operate as long as we follow the safety directives put out by the health department. social distancing is the biggest hurdle on a boat to overcome, so to maintain 4 square meters, passenger numbers will be capped at 6 people for the time being. Following the guidelines will include what we were doing before we shut down back in march plus some new ones to keep our staff and passengers safe.
Processes in place will be –

  1. SOCIAL DISTANCING (top priority and will be enforced)
  2. INCREASED CLEANING REGIME (Common areas and touch points).
  3. EXTRA HAND WASH STATION (Staff and passengers will be reminded of good hygiene practices and extra hand sanitizer and soap will be provided)
  4. HEALTH AND TRAVEL QUESTIONS WILL BE ASKED
    (anyone with flu symptoms will not participate and if any Aussies return from overseas cannot participate until they have quarantined).
  5. COVID SAFE APP (Staff will be required to download the app to ensure we are not putting anyone at risk and customers will be encouraged to do the same).
  6. OUR MAXIMUM PASSENGER NUMBER OF 6 (to adhere to social distancing requirements).
  7. FOOD SUPPLIED WILL STOP (Customers will have to bring their own food for the time being to eliminate risk. Bottled water and cans of soft drink will still be supplied).

We are relying on the local support for the time being and are confident the 10 years of service, building relationships and clientele, will get us through until we return to normal operation. We do still have the costs to cover and 6 people at our normal prices wont do it, so until we can take 12 people again the following prices will be in effect;

NEW PRICING:

  • Half day (5hrs) – $175
  • 3/4 day (7hrs) – $215
  • Full day (9 hrs) -$255

We are in the process of updating the prices on our website and online booking platform. As always the trip is subject to weather and now to getting the 6 passengers to cover the expenses. We are optimistic about the future again and I couldn’t be in a happier space today.GOOD ON YOU AUSTRALIA! AND ESPECIALLY QLD! We are beating this. ONWARDS AND UPWARDS FROM HERE.

The winter species have definitely arrived and the pearl perch and snapper are in great numbers on the outer reef belt! The angler of the month goes to Marcus who nabbed a 70cm snapper and backed it up soon after with an 86cm Well done! Also boated was a legal red emperor 57cm which is very rare for us South Queenslanders.

Easter fishing

by Top Catchon 30 April 2019in blog

Hi all its been a while since our last post, some typical Easter weather, but good to be back on the water recently and hopefully we start to see our winter weather pattern start to kick in!!! Some great fish caught when we have been out and I guess the rest/break our reefs have received from rec fishing has done the area the world of good. There were big numbers of squire caught, just over and just under legal size so it’s looking like a good winter coming too…. Bring it on!!

To join us on a trip call 0429013012 or click the book now button.

Fishing report 23rd March 2018

by Top Catchon 18 April 2018in blog

Here are some of our recent catches from the last couple of trips.  Hopefully this gives everyone some inspiration to get out on the water this coming week!  Don’t forget it’s Good Friday this week and there are still a couple of spots left. I have been a bit unmotivated with the Facebook updates lately because of this weather!! Relentless wind and rain have kept us inshore and we have only got out for 9 trips in 7 weeks but our fishing grounds have been getting a good rest and when we have got out overall numbers of fish caught have been above average! The forecast for the upcoming week and EASTER weekend is pretty good. fingers crossed nothing changes. We will be back out there on Sunday and most of the week has trips booked in so if you would like to join us please call 0429013012 or check out our new online booking system on our website.
