    we had a excellent time

    Full Day Trip • 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.

    Reported catch:
    Gummy Shark

    Fishing good time

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    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.

    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.

    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.

What's biting with Major Look Fishing Charters in Melbourne

If you thought October was good for big Snapper, wait until you see what the bite is like in November. The fish are biting almost all day long, which is great as the days get longer and the weather heats up.
