Wild Thing Fishing Charters

Member since August 2024 Gold Coast, Australia
Background
Melinda was born in New Zealand spending her younger years surround by a large family, she was taught early about the importance of tradition and culture and loved attending the local Marae and enjoying fresh caught seafood at the Wharenui. Melinda moved to Australia aged 8 and soon came to the Gold Coast region enjoying the beaches, swimming, hunting for nippers, fishing and playing with the blue soldier crabs. Spending most of her life in southeast QLD, only moving south for family. Melinda and her family returned to the Gold Coast after some time away, missing the beauty and unique fishing this stunning location has to offer. In 2019 they made the choice to sell up their family home in VIC and purchase a fishing charter. Combining their love of fishing with their desire to run a small family business. Jackson their young son is a passionate fisherman and can often be seen at the dock greeting customers with his father. He starts his days getting ready for school and then sneaking down to the canals for a fish, and is always excited to end the day fishing. To this fishing mad family they like to think of their customers as their extended fishing family. And as such like to greet them personally. Gayle their booking lady has fast become nana Gayle to young Jackson. Gayle is always keen to help in any way she can. So please come join our family and enjoy all the that the Gold Coast has to offer.
