Spend a great day on the water with Major Look Fishing Charters! They operate out of Queenscliff. Captain Warren and his team always give their best to make sure you have an amazing experience. While fishing can never promise you'll catch something, the crew will go the extra mile for this to happen.

A 25' Whitepointer you'll be fishing from is a modest and reliable vessel. She comes well-equipped with comfortable seating and she's maintained to the highest standards. Built in 2019, everything on this boat is brand new. The boat also has a private toilet and lots of storage space.

With a variety of fish to target, each fishing trip is different. King George Whiting is great for both beginners and experienced anglers. If it's Gummy Sharks you're after, April to October is their peak but we can often find them all year. You can also catch Squid, Snapper, or Australian Salmon. If they are in season, you can also go Tuna trolling.

Capt. Warren takes pride in his mastery of gear and bait, so he'll always provide high-quality Penn and Shimano equipment. You can keep the catch and the crew will clean it for you after the trip. Make sure to purchase your Victoria fishing license in advance.

Captain Warren's 'thrill of the hunt' keeps him energized day after day. Major Look Fishing Charters inspire their guests with their enthusiasm and help them have an unforgettable day on the water.

    we had a excellent time

    Full Day Trip on December 21, 2025 • 8 adults

    Made you look fishing charters was an excellent choice. captain Warren is a top bloke and really put a lot off effort in for us to put us on the fish. it was a windy f day so we wernt able to go out side. but Warren spent a lot of fuel and time constantly moving around the bay trying to find the snapper. he also got us our gummy shark he promised and stayed out longer for us to make sure we caught one couldnt find a nicer guy.

    Warren put us straight onto the fish wherever we went and filled our bags with plenty of squid and KGW. Definitely worth it and we will be back.

    🎣 Major Look Fishing Charter – Where Even the Fish Have FOMO! 🐟

    Half Day Trip (AM) on May 19, 2025 • 4 adults

    If you’re thinking about going fishing and not booking with Major Look Fishing Charters… well, you’ve clearly never met Skipper Warren – the man, the myth, the absolute fishing legend. From the moment we stepped aboard, Warren treated us like long-lost mates, not just customers. He’s the kind of bloke who could probably teach a goldfish to catch a bigger fish, and that’s saying something, because I have the fishing skills of a distracted toddler with a spaghetti noodle for a rod. But did that stop Warren? Absolutely not. This man was on a mission. I swear, if he could have, he’d have dived in, wrangled a snapper barehanded, and politely asked it to hop on my hook so I didn’t go home empty-handed. That’s the level of dedication we’re talking about here. Warren was friendly, patient, and kept the vibes immaculate all day long. He cheered every catch like it was the Olympics of angling, and somehow made me feel like I knew what I was doing (spoiler: I did not). By the end of the trip, we’d all caught a stack of fish, had a load of laughs, and made some reel-ly good memories (yes, I went there). Honestly, it was the best fishing charter I’ve ever been on – and I’ve tried a few, usually ending in me catching sunburn and disappointment. Major Look Fishing Charter isn’t just a fishing trip. It’s an experience. It’s therapy. It’s comedy. It’s action. We could have not have asked for a better day! Bottom line: I’m never fishing with anyone else again. Unless Warren retires to a tropical island – in which case, I’ll be moving there too. 10/10 would let Warren coach me through fish-whispering again.

    Fun trip

    Full Day Trip on February 1, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Friendly and very patient skipper. Took the kids so had a few snags but nothing was too much trouble (most of them were me to be fair). Caught a decent amount of whiting, moved spots plenty of times to track them down. Would recommend.
