A Guide To Snapper Fishing Port Phillip Bay

By Traci Oneill


Snapper fishing Port Phillip Bay is a very popular exercise among the locals of the Victoria area in Australia as well as visitors. The fishes come to the area for breeding every year during spring and they come through the rainwater from the mainland. They come in large numbers of red waves locally referred to as crimson tide.

The period between October and December is usually the best time for fishing. Before going out to fish, you must be well prepared. Ensure that you have all your equipment that you plan to use as well as bait checked and ready. The fish feed on prey that is easy to catch including crustaceans and squids.

The best boats for use are usually ones that have both aft and forward seats so you can easily move inside them. The catch is big and can become hectic to handle. Dredging was banned in the region therefore only line and net methods are allowed. Confirm that the hooks are strong enough and that the lines can handle a lot of tension.

You should note that the local authority also requires that the boat be one that can withstand more than 2 meters of tide. The season that snappers are available happens to be characterized by rough waves and tides. Always ensure to check if the amount of fuel left can take you back to the shore.

A wise angler is one who studies the trends of fish migration. A diary or a book on fish migration would do you good. Note that they move along the eastern sea board. Having a GPS tracker would also do you good.

Snapper snapper fishing port phillip baycan be done from the mainland as well. Snappers go to shallow waters in search of injured and dead prey from rough seas at night. From such an area you can be able to catch them even with a rod.
