Fishing near Gold Coast, Queensland

Gold Coast sits on the southeastern corner of Queensland, where 70 km of surf beach meets an intricate network of tidal canals, estuaries, creeks and rivers. The Gold Coast Seaway and Broadwater are the centrepiece of the local fishing scene, drawing anglers after bream, flathead and trevally, while offshore reef and game fishing runs out of the Seaway into the Coral Sea. Rivers like the Nerang, Coomera, Tallebudgera and Currumbin creeks add solid estuary and freshwater options close to the city.
