Melbourne has a fish with your name on it — and Fin Chaser Fishing Charters is ready to help you catch it!

These waters are home to Pink Snapper, King George Whiting, Bluefin Tuna, Squid, Kingfish, and plenty more depending on the season. Your trip may include light-tackle action, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or other techniques ideal for targeting your preferred species.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! Just ask about child-sized life vests, or feel free to bring your own. Packing a few snacks is always a good idea to keep everyone energized throughout the day.

You'll head out aboard a 30' Clayton Gallant fishing boat that comfortably accommodates up to 10 passengers. Outriggers and all the essential gear are on board to set you up for a productive day, and there's even a toilet for extra convenience.

Your captain supplies rods, reels, and lures, and live bait is available—though you may be catching it yourself depending on the trip. You will need to purchase a local fishing license beforehand, so be sure to check online or ask the captain. Some species are regulated or require tags to keep, so it's good to know the rules before heading out.

Be sure to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water, food and a Victorian Fishing License. If you'd like to bring other beverages—alcohol is allowed in moderation, but please avoid hard liquor and glass bottles.

Great time had by all.
5 Hour Trip – Snapper Fishing - 3:30 PM on January 11, 20263 adults

Daniel was our captain for the trip. Fished many spots and if there was not many fish there, we moved to a more productive spot. All 9 people on the trip caught snapper and flathead with most snapper were keepers. Largest fish were around the 5 to 6kg of which there were multiple caught. Would highly recommend Fin chaser, and are already planning our next trip.
