Fishing Charters Port Phillip Bay
Port Philip Bay is Victoria’s largest body of water and the state’s most popular recreational fishing ground which has a reputation for turning on some great fishing for snapper, flathead, King George whiting, garfish and squid.
Fishing Charters Western Port Bay
Western Port Bay is a smaller bay than Port Phillip Bay on the other side of the Mornington Peninsula, featuring two large islands, French and Phillip. There are three main areas of fishing; the northern, eastern and western arms. It offers great fishing with whiting, squid and snapper with the occasional gummy shark.
Fishing Charters Bass Straight
Bass Strait, a channel separating Victoria from Tasmania has a maximum width of 240 km and its depth is 50–70 m and named in 1798 after surgeon-explorer George Bass. There is great fishing for Mako Sharks, Flathead, Snapper, Whiting and Gummy Sharks.
Fishing Charters Portland
As one of Victoria’s fishing hot spots, the fertile seas in Portland and along the Discovery Coast offer a wealth of opportunities for keen fishers. There are two boat ramp launching sites in the harbour. Near the Yacht Club there are two ramps and 4 lanes in total. It’s a wonderful fishing ground for Tuna & Sharks.

Took my 9 year old son on the 5am snapper charter and we had a truly wonderful time. Great boat, safe and clean, and can’t thank captain Mal enough for his dedication to finding the fish, helping everyone on board, and keeping a fun atmosphere! We caught big snapper, some cod, flatheads and had an awesome trip. Will definitely do it again!!!Simon Cook30. October, 2023.Even though it was puffing pretty hard (20knots) Mal and Les were still more than willing to take us out and we ended up having a great day. It was even no trouble at all to drop one of our crew off at shore who was suffering horrendously with a bad back and sea sickness. Male boat is awesome and we felt completely safe and secure in Mals expert hands and his valued experience. Thanks Mal, we’ll definitely be back to do it again 😊
