Overview Of The Experience

Located in mountainous terrain, the Gold Coast & Tweed Valley are arguably some of the most picturesque of all fishing spots in Australia. For this experience you'll be joining guide and fisheries scientist Simon Fitzpatrick as he helps you find and fool Australian bass and southern saratoga on Hize Dam, Clarrie Hall Dam or the Tweed River.

The sheer beauty and tranquility of these wetlands ensures that time spent fishing here is time spent regenerating the soul. Kayaking, canoeing and electric-powered boats are the only way that some of these areas can be accessed - so you won't have your day spoiled by some ratbag roaring around in a noisy boat. The peacefulness and stealthy approach also ensures the fish won't be alerted to your presence before you make them an offer they simply can't refuse.

Like all of the best guided fishing experiences, a Northern Rivers Sportfishing isn't just about being spoonfed information, it's about contributing to your ongoing fishing education and and improving your ability to catch fish where ever you wet a line in future.

What's Included

Your experience includes all of the tackle that you'll require for the day, plus a light lunch and refreshments. Your fishing licences are included and we can assist with finding accommodation and with transfers from where you're staying to your fishing destination.

Personal effects such as hat and sunscreen, camera and polarised sunglasses are all you'll need to bring, although you're welcome to bring your own fishing tackle if you wish!
