Ocean Grove Fishing Charters

Ocean Grove Fishing Charters is a locally owned and run business in Queenscliff, offering fishing charters for Snapper, Shark, and Reef species. The skipper, Ben Wentworth, has over 20 years of fishing experience in the area. The team at Ocean Grove Fishing Charters are passionate about fishing and ensuring their customers have a fun and successful fishing experience.

The charter operates from their 36-foot Steber fishing vessel, which is known for its solid construction and ability to provide a smooth ride even in rough conditions. The boat is moored at Queenscliff harbour but can also arrange pick up of passengers from the Portsea pier if it suits better.

Ocean Grove Fishing Charters offers a variety of charter options, including 5, 6, and 8-hour trips. They also cater to larger groups and can accommodate special requests. The charter provides all the necessary gear for fishing and has ample knowledge of where the fish like to hang out. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sport fisher, Ocean Grove Fishing Charters can cater to all levels of expertise.

The charter also offers the option of bringing onboard a BBQ, so guests can enjoy some freshly grilled snags at sea. However, if guests prefer to bring their own meat, they are more than welcome to do so. All patrons are required to have a valid Victorian fishing licence, which can be purchased separately.

For offshore charters, Ocean Grove Fishing Charters takes guests into Bass Strait, where an abundance of snapper, squid, flathead, barracoota, gummy shark, kingfish, 7 gill shark, school shark, Australian salmon, and reef fish can be found. These charters launch from Queenscliff and Ocean Grove.

Bay fishing charters focus on the productive fishing waters of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria. Snapper fishing is particularly popular, but there is also plenty of opportunities to catch whiting, squid, flathead, gummy shark, and reef fish. The natural shelter of the bay allows for fishing even in less favourable weather conditions. These charters launch from Queenscliff.

Shark charters, on the other hand, take place in Bass Strait, where the charter targets Mako Sharks, Thresher Sharks, and Blue Sharks. Mako Sharks are known for their spectacular leaps out of the water when hooked. Thresher Sharks display incredible speed and acceleration, using their large tails to stun their prey. Blue Sharks are often encountered, and it is not uncommon to see multiple sharks approaching the boat simultaneously.

These charters also launch from Queenscliff and Ocean Grove.

Ocean Grove Fishing Charters has a gallery showcasing some great catches and good times had on their charters. The gallery features photos of satisfied customers with their catches, showcasing the success of the charter in providing memorable fishing experiences.
