Melbourne Snapper charter

[PeterGar]

Hi

My wife is at a conference in Melbourne on October 17/18 so I was thinking of creating my own conference while she becomes educated and going snapper fishing in Port Phillip Bay.

Can anyone recommend a suitable charter. I will be staying in downtown Mebourne so would need to rent a car and drive down each day to wherever we needed to leave from.

I wonder what the frozen hand luggage restrictions are.

Thanks

Perfect time of the year for the snapper. I would be avoiding the party boat type charter and go for the smaller boat charter out Hastings or Stoney point on Western Port Bay. Google earth it. There is an operator called Gawaine Blake who I think is about to go out on his own. He would be my first choice. Cranbourne Tackle world will have his mobile number.

I often fly from Darwin with Barra fillets. I just wrap them carefully and shove them in the suitcase. Jetstar don't let you take eskys anymore. Don't know the other airlines policies.

I will definitely follow them up. I will see if I can get a few folks together and maybe put a private charter together.

This is probably not the best place for this post but is anyone elese out there interested in sharing a charter?

I did attempt to bring a 5KG Wide Mouth Nanagai back frozen on Virgin once form Cairns. It was amusing at the XRAY machine and eventually had to be checked as baggage.

Airport security has no sense of humour.

Here we go Peter gawaine@bigtimefishingcharters.com.au 0411103367 Book him early as he will be filling up fast that time of year.

He doesn't take that many people on board, perhaps 4? He knows where the biggest fish are too, you can send me the GPS co ords later.;D

You can say that again, they think they own the place.
