Snapper & Whiting Charters

Snapper Fishing Charters on Port Phillip Bay

Covering an impressive 2000 square kilometres, the bay is more than an entrance to Melbourne’s busiest port: it’s an angling enthusiast’s haven.

Offering some of the best fishing in Victoria, this expanse of water is home to a wide range of marine species that appreciate its varying depths. While half of the bay is less than 8 metres deep, other sections feature extensive drop-offs and deep channels; this diverse underwater terrain forms the perfect environment for whiting, flathead, squid, Australian salmon – and snapper!

When it comes to snapper fishing charters, Melbourne anglers join Gamerec time and time again to gain access to some of the region’s best angling spots. If you have always wanted to catch a big snapper, Gamerec offers trips departing Sorrento and Queenscliff that are ideal for those who want to land this prized catch

Home of the Australian red snapper

As winter thaws and spring emerges, the waters of the bay begin to warm. This increase in temperature means bay conditions are favoured by migrating snapper; from October, schools of this popular fish begin to enter the shallower waters. By mid-November, it’s not uncommon for snapper numbers to swell by hundreds of thousands in the area – and this certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by keen anglers.

Gamerec offers fishing charters during peak season, as well as throughout autumn when bigger, heavier fish are often caught despite smaller numbers. We offer two different tours – a five-hour trip and an eight-hour trip – which are both suited to novice and experienced anglers alike. These tours provide keen fishermen with the opportunity to cast their line for prized red snapper on the bay, as well as a wide range of other game fish at angling locations that span the heads and Bass Strait.
