Happy New Year

Happy 2019 from HotShot Charters

Welcome to the New Year…

We at HotShot Charters have charged into the New Year with gusto…

We arrived home shortly before Christmas last year and hit the ground running.

We finally have some time to bae able to catch everyone up with whats been going and what is in the plans for the future…

Congratulations 

HotShot is excited to announce that this year our Captain Craig “Sparra” Denham has been awarded the Top Tagging Captain of the Pacific for black marlin from the Billfish Foundation  

And  for the 2nd year in a row  we have another  top tagging angler award this one going to Sean Van Veijeren for 2018.

If you haven’t signed up with the Billfish Foundation you can follow the link  above. 

Back on the Gold Coast

Once we arrived home we did not waste any time going into our season here on the coast.

Our first couple of trips fishing was a bit slow but that has all change….

We have had some amazing fishing for both Heavy and Light tackle charters.

The bait both inshore and offshore is thick with slimy mackerel thick and fat.

We are already taking bookings into the month of March so if you have been wanting to fish the Gold Coast now is your chance.

Fishing High Lights

Some of our highlights already for 2019 are:

Beautiful blue marlin caught in shore estimated 115kilo

Striped Marlin up to 115 kg’s 

We have had a lot of first time anglers out with us and its always an honor to be apart of something so special like Trina fishing with her dad Robert ( who has spent a lot of time fishing for the giant blacks )

And “The Boys” doing a bit of Pre-Comp reconnaissance with us getting some amazing experience for first time anglers like this black that Pete fought for just over 3 hours on 10kg…

We cant believe how big the black marlin are currently on the Gold Coast
