Game Fishing
A Buck's party should be about getting a group of mates together and having a great time doing something fun and memorable. Planning a trip away and organising a day or 2s big game fishing is fantastic way to combine adventure some laughs and unique bonding experience
Australia has a huge coast, stunning marine life and some of the best waters in the world for sea fishing of all kinds. First you need to decide what kind of fishing you want to do. Do you fancy dipping your rod off the back of a boat in the comparatively calm waters of a harbour, or heading out to deep sea fishing grounds? Would you prefer a relaxing time, kicking back and chatting with your mates whilst you wait for a bite, or do you want the adrenalin and excitement that only big game fishing could give you as you haul in a thrashing Marlin or Shark? Do you want to structure your Buck's weekend around the fishing trip, or do you want the fishing to be just an excursion and one activity out of many? These are all things that you need to consider.
If you feel that a fishing trip is what the groom would like for his Buck's party, there are dozens of spots that you can choose from. Sydney has fishing charters which can take groups out for the day with many of them starting from the Harbour. Alternatively, you could try your luck hiring a boat up on the central coast or down off of spots like Batemans Bay. Brisbane and the Gold Coast offer some great sea fishing locations, with Shark, Snapper and Jewfish popular catches and as you head up the Queensland coast you get more reef fishing opportunities. WA has some incredible sport with bottom fishing big business with the fishing charters. There's also the thrill of trying to land lively customers like Yellowfin Tuna and Mackerel. Darwin is famous for the majestic Barramundi but that is certainly not the only big fish to be found up north. There are plenty of companies in the Top End who'll be happy to take you out sea fishing over reefs and wrecks and find you pristine tropical waters teeming with big fish. Victoria and South Australia also have some brilliant sea fishing adventures that are well worth checking out. And then there's Tasmania, home to such giants of the sea fishing world as Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, Broadbill Swordfish and Striped Marlin. Surely you couldn't really want more from a Buck's party than to land one of those beauties?!
Decide what you want to fish, consider where you want to go, then get online and book a fishing charter. Most game and sea fishing companies offer packages to make your trip as stress free and convenient as possible and many will even sort out accommodation. So dust off your rod and reel, grab some bait and arrange a game fishing trip for your Buck's weekend.
