During the months of October, November and December, many anglers go a bit "snapper crazy"-and for good reason. Snapper are a beautiful looking fish-exhilarating to catch and delicious to eat. We are very passionate about our fishing charters that are specifically designed to lure and catch this species, which is why we have spent many years fine-tuning the art of regularly reeling them in from Melbourne's Port Philip Bay.
We target King George Whiting during all months of the year and in Western Port And Port Phillip bays. Our King George Whiting are one of the finest eating fish to be found anywhere in the world! We target King George Whiting from January till April departing from Hastings or stony point on Melbourne's Western Port.
Without a doubt these prestigious and special fish are probably the biggest fishing adventure available in Victoria. Over the past few seasons there has been many incidents of tuna being caught that are well over 150kg. These fish are found in the waters in Western Victoria and tend to be in good numbers from Apollo Bay through to the South Australian border.
We target these fish all year round, mostly in Melbourne's Port Philip bay. However, in spring we also go into Western Port bay in search of the big breeders. We have been chasing these fish for a long time and have become very good at catching them, More often than not bagging out. Sometimes Calamari bite better early in the mornings and late in the evenings, like most fish.

Great experience with this charter. Skipper is experienced, fun and relaxed. Deckies were friendly and helpful. First couple of spots were quiet, but the skipper soon found us some fish. The team made sure everyone was comfortable and well looked after.. esp the kids. Everyone had a fish to take home.
Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful experience! Unfortunately the day we booked experienced some bad weather, however we go a text telling us two days ahead to warn about the chance of cancelling and a recommendation to take a different day. We chose a Saturday 5am and it was a stunning morning to enjoy.
We caught a lot of toddlers but managed to get a few flatheads and Whitting! The pinkies were all too young.
The skipper team was incredibly friendly, helpful and caring. They were upbeat and enjoyed fishing, which made our time go incredibly fast while having fun.
The boat was clean, had everything we needed and they

Zero star rating. Didnt even get to go on my 4 week earlier booked 5am charter. They cancelled on us with first excuse 2 days before. not enough numbers. Next day weather was too bad. Checked weather on day was good for fishing. Their excuse safety first. But the 10:30 boat went out in windier and worse conditions and by their own admission with children onboard. Was made aware of cancellation via text and further correspondence was all text. . Also as I live in regional Vic. I lost my deposit on motel I had booked. Then they kept making excuses. Very unprofessional and couldn't care for stuffing

Avoid. The rods provided were rubbish and they couldn't be bothered to move the boat round to ensure fishing spots were found.
There are better boats to hire with better rods and a crews willing to find fishing spots.
I paid to go with them based on the reviews only to find out later that some of the five star reviews they have, are copy-pasted reviews of the same person under different user names. Shame !

I've been out with these guys with friends and family over the last 7 years. The Boats are clean and well maintained.
The staff and the team (office and crew) know their stuff. They look after newby's and old hands and the provided gear has always worked.
Fish types caught have been varied so it’s always interesting and even during quiet days they pull out all stops / move round heaps to ensure fish are caught.
We've caught flathead, whiting, garfish, gummy shark, ling and of course snapper. They are sticklers for ensuring fish are right size and always ensure kids catch and learn. That means
