The bit of rain that some of the state has received over the past fortnight has really given a breath of life for the freshwater streams and lakes and fired the trout up some more. With a rise in water levels and an increase in water turbidity the trout have been actively feeding up and responding well to anglers fishing lures. Customer Matt has be...

The usual targets have been on offer in Westernport over the past week and fishing well whether it's pier or boat based. Squid whiting and gummies have been worth the effort with good sized models in all species available. For the land based angler Flinders pier has been producing some excellent squid if you persist and change jig sink rates and co...

While many anglers are back from a long weekend getaway those who regularly get out and target both bream and flathead in the eastern gippsland estuaries will be pleased to know that they are fishing exceptionally well at present. With intermittent rain falling into all of the catchments the systems are receiving much appreciated top ups of fresh w...

With the weather allowing many anglers offshore access recently the main focus for many have either been tuna or kingfish - and why not they've both been about in good numbers and are tackle testing speedsters ready to hit baits and lures. The rip has been producing a few fish here and there for persistent anglers but overall has been lacking the n...

While there have only been small breaks in the weather the past week there have been some anglers able to get amongst some nice pelagics down along the west coast. Portland bay has been holding good numbers of school bluefin and kingfish from water as shallow as 10m. These fish have been fairly finicky but there are always patches of feeding fish t...

With some decreased traffic on the freshwater lakes and rivers many anglers have been doing their best to get some serious freshwater fishing in for cod and yellowbelly. Lake Eildon has seen a few more serious anglers putting in the time for both species with customer John being one of them. John has been fishing the lake over the past fortnight an...

The whiting reports from both Westernport and Port Phillip have continued to be excellent. While the height of Summer can provide numbers of smaller fish there have still been some excellent fish caught if you can weed through the smaller school fish. Customer Trent has been fishing a bit deeper for whiting in Western port during his last few sessi...

The whiting fishing has been excellent for virtually all anglers out chasing them in the Port lately. As cliche as it may sound the whiting have been going well all over the port. If you're fishing for them on some of the isolated grass beds near Corinella they have been fishing well or if you'd normally chase them from Tortoise head back up to the...

There has been no secret that the bluefin tuna fishing locally has been exceptional and with awesome weather over the long weekend there should be a few anglers out amongst them. There have been tuna caught from Torquay through to about Cape Woolamai with most of action occurring from Seal Rock through to Barwon Heads. Customer Trent shot out from...

The fishing for Murray cod and yellowbelly has been good in most of the northern waterways even with the increase in boat traffic. Places like Lake Eildon Nagambie and Mulwala have been fishing well and there have even been some nice fish coming from places like the Yarra as well. Customer Steve's last trip up to Eildon yielded him a cracker from t...

A calm and boisterous Saturday morning with Jon and his mates went fishing with us and went home with a great haul of fish. We started getting 3kg fish before a few larger ones were caught. Most of the fish ranged from 3kg up to 8kg. Check out some more videos via our Facebook Page. October is going […] The post A Great Day out on the water appear...

This season is turning out to be a cracker. Last season started late and it was rare to catch fish above the 5kg mark. This year it started earlier and the big fish are definitely in the bay this time around. We’ve already caught the largest Port Phillip Bay caught snapper on record (12kg) this […] The post The Big Snapper are here this season app...

As our Melbourne charters come to an end the focus will change to the ever popular Bluefin Tuna Charters for the Autumn and Winter months. This is where we move the boat 5hrs drive West to the town of Portland which offers us close access to the deep waters where thousands of Bluefin Tuna congregate.

In case you’re not following us closely during this time of year we move the boat down to Portland in order to go after the big Bluefin tuna schools which form a few Km’s offshore. There’s no better fish to catch as they are both hard fighting and very tasty to eat. Here’s some pictures […] The post Bluefin Tuna Are Everywhere appeared first on.

The bait fish are swarming around Westernport and Port Phillip Bay and we’ve got sharks washing up on the St Kilda shoreline. This shark season is one of the strongest we’ve seen in years. Already we’ve put our customers on the money and bagged lots of Whiting and Gummy shark on our Westernport Charters. It […] The post Huge Gummy Shark and Whitin...

We caught wind of some big Bluefin tuna feeding around the Portland area so decided to go out early and try out luck. After catching one 95kg+ tuna we took some customers out after and caught another 95kg+ fish! Check out our Facebook page for pictures of the catch. Bookings for the rest of the […] The post Caught two huge 90kg+ Bluefin Tuna Last...
