Suggestions for fishing trips? I am from Texas in the US

[TexanAngler]

I am from Texas in the United Sates but my brother lives in Melbourne. I will be visiting him in December and would really like to take a fishing trip.

Does anyone have any suggestions??? I am not having any luck finding information. Thank you very much

Will you be staying in melbourne the entire time? or traveling out far?

Welcome Texan... Best bet is to find yourself a Charter operator, google "melbourne fishing boat charters". You might get lucky and catch a prized Snapper or 2.

Good luck

i would get a charter
no matter where your fishing. ie melb for local fish or portland for tuna
the charter boats always get a catch

Think Big Charters is a good one for December snapper. Forget the tuna - they are having their summer vacation in the Bahamas during summer.

hey texan im from right next door to you in louisiana i just moved here back in february. if your looking for land based fishing there are lots of piers that you can catch snapper from around december. i fish mordialloc pier quite often and have caught quite a few of them from there. and heard others talking about all the other local piers also.

Howdy Texan.

A Snapper Charter is definitely something you should put on your to do list.

Plenty of other fishing options around too, day trips or longer down the Great Ocean Road to the west or around Lakes Entrance to the east.

Hey mate, great to hear ya paying us a visit.
Just to clear things up a bit, our summer starts on Dec 1st, so yer heading over here into top weather.
December is also right smack in the middle of our snapper season here in Victoria.
Melbournians are fanatcial snapper fishos.
My suggestion would be to head out with one of the local charter operators.
We have several good charter operations catering for snapper & gummy shark fishos at that time of year.
The two I would definitely recommend are 'Big Time' charters run by Gawaine Blake & 'Reel Time' charters run by Matt Cini. Both top blokes & excellent charter skippers with years of experience. You'll have a ball with either one of em.

Here's Gawaine's web site

Classic Fishing charter out of Warneet provides the best lunch out of all the charters I have been on. It is slow cooked marinated beef. Absolute torture, because your mouth starts watering about half an hour after it starts cooking.
