KESTREL lll BAY FISHING TRIPS

Our Bay Fishing Trips generally have great catches of different species on most occasions, such as Snapper, Gummy sharks, Flathead, Salmon, Squid and various Reef Fish.

As seen by his photo below, our Captain Thumb Tac has vast experience in the areas of Southern Port Phillip Bay, second to none.

KESTREL III, a 43ft Lacco, purposely built for fishing charters, was built out of Huon Pine in Rosebud in 1963 and was the original Sorrento Fishing Charter Boat. It has been lovingly restored by local Ferryman, Warren Neale, and is celebrating its return to service offering bay fishing trips with Rip Charters.

All rods, reels, bait and tackle supplied.  Fish will be cleaned, filleted and bagged for your convenience, ready to cook up on the BBQ.

We have a new online booking facility where you can check if seats are available on your preferred date.   CLICK BELOW.....any date that isnt already there is available, otherwise you can see if a date is already booked out or starting to book up!
