East Gippsland Sportfishing

They are committed and pride ourselves upon facilitating a great experience out on the water catering for all levels of experience by providing a range of tour options for individuals, families and small groups.

Their focus primarily on lure fishing, using soft plastics and hard body lures, quality fishing tackle, techniques, and technology to provide an unforgettable experience whilst immersed in the pristine natural environment of East Gippsland.

Estuary fishing in East Gippsland can be exceptional, offering a wide variety of species including Dusky Flathead, Bream, Trevally, Estuary Perch, Tailor and Salmon.

While our tours are predominantly fishing based, the extraordinary diversity and beauty of the flora, fauna and landscapes that you will come across whilst fishing in these locations is simply breathtaking.

Our boat is a 2021 4.8 metre Polycraft Brumby centre console, surveyed to carry 4 passengers.

There is ample space onboard enabling full access to the front casting deck and rear/side cockpit area.

Powered by a 80hp Honda 4 stroke outboard, you will get you to the fishing spots safely and efficiently.

At the pointy end they have a Jarvis Walker Geo Spot bow mounted electric motor that will quietly get you close to drop offs and snags where fish like to hide out.

Chris has spent decades fishing the East Gippsland estuary systems of Lake Tyers, Bemm River and Mallacoota.

​

Creating a unique experience for his clients is Chris’s primary focus, made easier by operating in the pristine environments that these East Gippsland’s waterways offer.

Clients with little experience can learn new skills including casting, tying knots or how to work soft plastic or hard body lures. On the flip side, if you are a seasoned fisho they can just put you on the spot and just let you do what you do best.

They can customise a fishing and accommodation package to meet the needs of you and your group.

You can select half or full day fishing tours or a mixture of both if you are staying multiple nights.

For all package options, they will meet at the boat ramp for a 2hr pre-fish out on the water to hold a “meet and greet” and to get you familiar with the boat, fishing gear and run through the necessary safety information.
