Coffs Harbour Whale Watching Fishing Trips
from: Rob LoreYou must have been looking for perfection when you searched for Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips. You must have been looking for a fishing hole in one of the world's most temperate climates, where the mountains rush out to meet the sea and where the weather nears perfection with its record hours of sunshine.
You might have been looking for one of the most beautiful places in the world to see humpback and endangered southern right whales. Maybe you are hoping for a glimpse of "Migaloo," the very rare albino male humpback whale which has made the warm southern Australian waters its home. His name, by the way, in aboriginal Australian means "White Fella."
Whatever your reason, you made a great choice. Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, is located on the coastline between Sydney and Brisbane, Australia. Because of its geographic location, Coffs Harbour boasts of golden stretches of sand, like its Emerald and Sapphire beaches, and a rich verdant rainforest.
Not sure what to do in Coffs Harbour? Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips are a popular choice mid-May through September when the whales arrive to give birth to their calves. Some whales stay around well into November, but this earlier time period is best to assure a sighting. The Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips are a one of a kind experience.
Whale watching has become one of the country's most popular tourist attractions. In 2004, 30,000 people boarded whale watch charters to catch a glimpse of over 40 whale species native to the southern Australian waters. A Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips fare costs anywhere up to $100 per person and well worth the cost.
Deep sea fishermen can combine their love for game fishing and whale watching onboard charters like the Out There Charters which is licensed for nearly two dozen fishermen. The Sea Experience charter offers full and half-day trips for all ages, children included.
Remember, Coffs Harbour fishing trips operate under a marine zoning guide so not all fish in all places are fair game. Read the guide first or get your Coffs Harbour fishing trips operator to explain the guide to you.
If you're not feeling up to a boat trip, then grab that rod and head for the shore. Anglers can "beach fish" if they are after bream or bass, but be prepared. Both saltwater and freshwater fishermen must pay the New South Wales "recreational fishing fee" and carry a receipt as proof before dropping a fishing line.
No licenses needed are for whale watching though. Just come with a sense of adventure, a pair of sunglasses, and lots of patience. Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips are a must for fishermen, whale enthusiasts, or just those who want to kick back and take in the breathtaking scenery of one of the most beautiful spots on earth.
If you get tired of fishing or whale watching, go hand feed a kangaroo just down the road at Coffs Harbour Zoo. The Coffs Harbour whale watching fishing trips are the perfect place to be to relax and enjoy yourself.
