Pinkies, Calamari & Flathead
A relaxed bay session that fishes well in every season. A good first trip for families, beginners and anyone chasing a feed.
About this trip
This is the trip we run all year. Pinkie snapper, calamari and flathead are reliable in Port Phillip Bay whatever the month, so it suits first-timers, kids and mixed groups who want plenty of action.
Book one seat or several. Shared trips run with other guests on board, and the crew helps everyone rig up, bait up and land their fish.
