Snapper season Charter for 2 people • 2 adultsWe were hoping to catch Red Snapper and that's exactly what we caught. This charter was perfect for my wife and I. Since we were staying in a hotel, we did catch and release. Captain Dale is top-notch in every respect. Our twilight excursion started promptly and ended right on-time. He exhibited keen knowledge of the area and wasn't hesitant to relocate the boat with the goal of increasing our haul. Our catch didn't all go back in the water as Capt Dale selected a few to keep for himself 😁. My wife and I wanted an intimate fishing experience and this was it. Stay away from party boats and book with Capt Dale. As a bonus, you'll get to experience exquisite views of the Melbourne Skyline and a gorgeous sunset. In my humble opinion this charter was very reasonably priced and well worth the experience. On a scale of 1 to 5, I rate it a 6 and would book this charter several times a year if I didn't have to travel 10,000 miles to do so.

Calamari & Whiting for 4 people • 4 adultsOur 2nd charter in 4 months with Skipper Dale… and once again, he absolutely delivered (starting to think he’s got fish on speed dial). His knowledge of where to fish, how to fish, and what to use was spot on — we barely had time to finish a sentence before someone’s rod was bending. What really sets Dale apart is how he caters to everyone. Our crew ranged from 18 to 70, and he made sure everyone was involved, laughing, and actually catching fish — not just holding the rods for photos. For those of us who weren’t exactly “experts,” he was more than happy to share a few tricks… and let’s just say, we left looking a lot more experienced than we arrived. If you’re after an easy-going, down-to-earth skipper who genuinely loves what he does (and makes sure you do too), we couldn’t recommend Skipper Dale highly enough.

What a Skipper, What a Catch
Snapper season Charter for 2 People • 2 adultsBirthday present for the lady and what an experience. Dale is a superstar his dedication to making sure you catch something is by far his number one goal. He knows where the fish are and he knows how to fish. His knowledge is on point. We bagged up. From the moment the first rod went in to the moment our last fish was caught it was pure excitement, hectic, fast but words cannot describe it. The birthday girl puts this whole experience at number 1 and it couldn't have happened without a dedicated skipper. Dale you by far exceeded all our expectations .We are super glad we got the experience of 'best night of the season' with you. Our biggest snapper 83cm long & 5kg who can complain.... Cheers mate look forward to our next adventure with you.
Response from Captainwow what a great review lucas, thank you so much mate, you guys done very well! 👏 thanks for coming, see you next time! 🎣😊🤙

What's biting with Twilight Fishing Charters in Melbourne
October is when things start to get interesting for fisherfolk in Melbourne. The Big Reds are in town, and everyone knows it! Be prepared to battle the crowds in the Bay for the return of big Snapper. This is peak fishing time.
