Portland Fishing Charters

When it comes to chasing tuna Portland fishing charters are always leading the way with thousands of tuna coming aboard each season to keep all customers happy we always work hard and have a good network with local Cray boats that also give us information on what they have been seeing during their travels up and down the coast each day this is valuable info as it saves us traveling to areas if the fish are in a different direction along with us running 2 boats we always have our fingers on the pulse and this allows us to be consistently putting our customers onto some red hot tuna action.

Each summer the mighty Kingfish return to Portland and some of the best action in Victoria happens right here with Kingfish ranging from 4kg rats up to thumping 18kg. We target the kingfish from December through until March when they can be found in big schools over the local Portland reefs we have different methods of catching the mighty kingfish.

Fishing the many reef and rubble grounds off Portland producers some amazing results with great catchers of Snapper, Morwong, Flathead, school and gummy sharks and also the prized Tassie Trumpeter and on the right days we can even offer deep dropping for the Blue Eye Trevalla and gem fish all these species are fantastic eating fish.

MAKO sharks are regarded as one of the best game fish to catch with their awesome jumping ability and strong fighting not to mention how good their eating quality is.

Portland is well known for its awesome mako fishing and the average size of the makos are around 70kg up to a whopping 200kg these are one of our favourite charters due to the excitement when a big mako swims up the burley trail and starts swimming around the boat munching on the burley being thrown overboard before being hooked up and once the mako is hooked up the real excitement starts when the mako starts jumping and doing cartwheels it's one of the most exciting game fish to watch.

If you suffer from sea sickness have a sea sick tablet the night before when you go to bed and again as soon as you get up and this most of the times stops any issues. Licenses are available from many local venues, sports stores, fishing & tackle stores & bait outlets.
