Port Phillip Bay Snapper Fishing Charters
September - February
Being positioned at the southern end of Port Phillip Bay gives Proline Fishing Charters the ability to fish the inshore Bass Strait reefs, and then follow the migrating Snapper into Port Phillip Bay, producing the catches that our charters are famous for.
Our popular Snapper Fishing Charters are available between September and February each year. This is when you will have the best chance of catching these prized fish, and with us you’ll have the best equipment, assistance and positioning to get a great haul. You can charter our boats as a group for these trips and we can target specifically for Snapper only.
The annual migration of snapper from well offshore in Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean, to the inshore reef systems of Bass Strait and Port Phillip Bay is a highly anticipated event for many anglers. These fish start to show their presence on the inshore Bass Strait reefs between Torquay and Sorrento as early as mid-September. When the conditions are right, these fish start to move towards Port Phillip Heads and The Rip.
The snapper then spread out around the bay, feeding profusely in readiness for their annual spawning.

We cater to Individuals, Corporate Groups, Church Groups, Fishing Clubs, Ladies Days, Bucks Days or any Social Group you may belong to.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a complete novice or an accomplished angler, we’ll provide a memorable experience for everyone.
As with all of our Fishing Charters, prices are fully inclusive of GST, fishing rods, bait & tackle, and we serve a sausage sizzle BBQ. If you charter one of our boats for 8 or 10 hours, we include hamburgers and salad also. All your fish will be cleaned and bagged ready to cook.
