SPRING/SUMMER SNAPPER TRIPS

With no specific start date, Victoria's annual Snapper migration usually begins somewhere in September/October and goes right through till the end of May down at Barwon Heads. 

In the early stages of the migration, the snapper follow a predictable path, reports of Snapper catches will come in from Queenscliff, Mt Martha and Mornington.  The Lonsdale Bight is a solid early season destination.  Within days of appearing in the Bight, Snapper will be running along the Eastern Seaboard. 

With trips departing from Sorrento Pier or Queenscliff Marina,  Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait are where most of our Snapper fishing is done.

At Rip Charters, our speciality is following the seasons to suit the best catch of the day and our charters are structured to be fishing at the best times of day to hook that prized Snapper.

Fresh bait is best, so we have put in quality time catching our own: Squid, Salmon, Garfish and small Barracouta. 

We are using top quality Wilson Live Fibre rods and specialise in making our own Snapper snatcher rigs.
