WE RECOMMEND
On this page you will find contact details for the charter operators that always come through with the goods! We call them up, often without much notice, and ask them to take us fishing.
It puts them under a fair bit of pressure because if they don’t catch anything for us, we blame them entirely and still put them on the show.
We will add charters here as the season goes on!
Proline Charters – Victoria
Andrew Horne runs his big charter boat out of Sorrento in Port Phillip Bay, and also out of Portland for the 2010 Bluefin Season. He has a wealth of knowledge, growing up fishing, and if he can’t catch you a feed, no one can!

Personalised Sea Charters – Tasmania
If you want to catch a big tuna, then Stu Nichols is your man! Responsible for catching clients more big fish over 100kg in the past few seasons than any other charter in Australia, Stu runs his vessel the Big Pig out of Eaglehawk Neck on Tassie’s East Coast. Also catches you the hard fighting and superb eating stripey trumpeter. We have fished with him plenty of times and he’s always delivered.

Sea Bee Charters – Bermagui
Captain Steve Tedesko is one of Australia’s premier marlin fishermen. He was given the task of catching us a marlin for the show in 2009, and even though we only had one day, he got us our fish and raised one other. If you want to catch a marlin (or a yellowfin tuna), get yourself to Bermagui and give Steve a call today!

Gone Fishing Charters – Tasmania
Michael Haley is blessed to fish the East Coast of Tasmania, which holds some of the biggest (if not the biggest) bream in the country. As well as angling for 2kg plus bream on ultra-light tackle, Michael will have your arms aching as you land large Australian salmon, silver trevally and even the odd kingfish. A very enjoyable day every time we fish with this first-class operator.

Fuzzell’s Fishing Adventures – South Australia
We first met the Fuzz in 2009 and what a trip! This bloke lives in the best place to catch big snapper anywhere in the country and claims to have caught a world record sized snapper of well over 40 pounds! It sits above the bar at the pub in Arno Bay. We fished for snapper, whiting and crabs and caught heaps. One of the great characters we’ve had on the program. Get caught by the Fuzz today!
