Explore the beautiful waters of Victoria by joining Westernport Fishing Charters, and have your newest sea adventure! Captain Robin Gray has over 25 years of fishing experience, and he’ll make sure you have a productive day on these fish-rich grounds.

You’ll enjoy the day on his 50’ Westcoaster flybridge boat which can accommodate up to 16 anglers, so you can have fun with all your friends and family. The vessel has a large deck with plenty of space and outdoor seating. There is everything you need for a comfortable outing, like a toilet, icebox, a sound system for entertainment, and it’s wheelchair accessible.

The captain will have Shimano rods and reels for you, but you need to get a fishing license, which is valid for 48 hours and is available online. You’ll be fishing using fresh bait. The crew will clean your catch for you so you can take it home to fill the freezer or prepare a nice dinner.

Capt. Robin specializes in various fishing techniques, such as light tackle, bottom fishing, and drift fishing. The crew will be on hand to show you the best methods for targeting Whiting, Flathead, Pink Snapper, Leatherjacket, Salmon, Tailor, and some Shark species. The target species depend on the season and the conditions.

Kids of all ages are welcome, and there are life jackets in all sizes on board. This can be a great experience to share with your family, and you can make some amazing memories with your children.

You’ll have coffee and tea on board, as well as sausage sizzle lunch, but you can bring your own coolers with drinks and snacks. Make sure to dress appropriately and bring sun protection, so you can fully enjoy your day.

All that’s left to do is Book Westernport Fishing Charters, and get ready for a great fishing adventure!

Disappointed

4 Hour Trip (AM) on December 28, 2025 • 5 adults • 8 children

Information and communication with Fishing Booker is so different from what you get from this operator. We only caught 4 small flathead that we could keep and few other fishes that we couldn’t due ti size and type of fish. Our expectation was a mixed fishes and more that we got according to the photos they advertised. When we complained the skipper (Stewie) blamed the kids not focusing and moving around too much. When we advised the kids to stay in one place we still didn’t catch any despite changing few fishing spots ( although in the close proximity). My friend asked about the use of fish finder sonar, the skipper said “ I use my brain”!!! When I asked him why our catch is so poor he attributed it to the wind despite it was a nice sunny day and no strong wind at all. His other excuse was the kids moving around. To me that was only excuses, trying to put the blame on his client is definitely not professional. I can see how defensive he gets with other reviews. I see others with other provider got far much better outcomes. This operator claims 25+ years of experience only to bring 4 small flathead home. I must also say that my communication was with another skipper by the name of (Robin), on the day I got (Stewie) with his assistant( Lochi). To his credit, though, the boat was well equipped, kids enjoyed the burger. But overall wasn’t a good value for money. You can get a better deal.

Mo we are sorry you feel like this you booked a 4 hour fishing trip which is our cheapest trip, the photos include other species of fish we target on longer trips which you were informed of in correspondence via fishing booker messaging system, you expected a premium trip on a budget price this is what you booked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a great trip for exploring the beautiful waters of Western Port Bay in the south of Australia. You'll go out in the morning and try to reel in a variety of species, including King George Whiting, Flathead, Leatherjacket, Salmon, Tailor. All rods and reels will be provided on board, as well as lunch, coffee, and tea. Make sure to bring sunscreen and dress appropriately and get out on the water for a great time! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately the weather was not what was forecasted it was blowing at least 25 knots instead of 10 knots forecasted despite the sunny day the wind is our enemy, so we had restrictions of where we could go, as the wind did start to ease Stewie (the skipper) was able to go to the flatty grounds to try and get you some fish for you all this in just 4 hours very small window, you did have small children that were running around the deck not fishing and one asleep in the cabin. You can't expect to catch fish like that. We use our sonar equipment for depth and habitat you can't pick up these types of fish on sonar, so we use our knowledge as we have done on thousands of trips, the 4-flathead caught was a result of a tough day on weather and fish not biting, all operators have these tough days (that's why it's called fishing not catching) We find these comments very Disappointing and unreasonable especially when you told the skipper you had not been fishing before and you didn't know how to use a rod and reel, we find that disrespectful to our crew as you have no understanding of what's involved in fishing as quoted.

Great team

4 Hour Trip (PM) on February 26, 2024 • 1 adult

Robin and Stewie were great. The fish weren’t really biting but they never stopped trying to find a spot. We ended up catching 4 King George Whiting. They were very personable and great fun. I’d recommend them.
