This last Sunday 29th September saw us bagging our first Snapper of the season down at Barwon Heads on Big Blue with skipper Phil at the helm.  Those 33 years experience fishing the Bay and Bass Strait give him the optimum advantage over all the others!!   It’s a good sign that we’re getting a […]

We’ve been heading up the Bay and out in Bass Strait and the fishing is still great at this time of year.  Had a few windy days in amongst it however we’ve been catching Snapper, Calamari, Flathead, Trevally, Australian Salmon and more!!!

So another weekend passes by and here at Rip Charters we had a pretty good weekends fishing.  This very decent sized Gummy was landed on Saturday afternoon by a lucky group of Bucks that we picked up at Queenscliff.

As we are now at the half way mark of Winter, we are receiving quite a lot of calls enquiring about our Bucks Trips. Spring is the beginning of the wedding season as well as the fishing season, so perfectly timed to book that all important ritual for the big occasion, ‘The Bucks Party’. We specialise in groups large and small, we service the Mornington Peninsula and the Bellarine Peninsula, so can depart from either Sorrento Pier or Queenscliff Boat Harbour. Usually either a 4 or 5 hour trip, we can head out into Bass Strait and target the Spring Snapper coming in as well as the Gummy Sharks and Tiger Flathead. Or simply stay in the bay on the shorter trips and target Bay Snapper, King George Whiting, Flathead and Calamari. We use one boat for the smaller groups or utilising 2 boats for the larger groups, the Mornington Peninsula offers the best of both worlds for fishing and Bucks Party’s.
