Fishing Charters & Fishing Trips from Bendigo Westernport — The Bay That Rewards Local Knowledge

Screenshot

Westernport is not a forgiving piece of water, and that's exactly why it's so good. Big tides, deep channels, mangrove flats and mud banks that shift with the seasons. Turn up without knowing it and you'll have a long, quiet day.

Know it, and it's one of the best fisheries in Victoria. Gummy shark come off the bottom here in numbers and in size. School shark and seven gill for those who want a proper fight. King George whiting over the sand through summer and into autumn, and snapper through the cooler months.

We depart from the Hastings boat ramp, right in the middle of it. Our fishing charters and fishing trips on Westernport run aboard the Barracuda, a 9.5-metre Preston Craft, skippered by a man who's been reading these tides for forty-nine years.
