THE BOAT
 
The pride and joy of Matthew Hunt Fishing Services is the M.V REGGIE. She is fully surveyed to 2c usl code, and is a 7.4m Clayton Galant powered by trusted twin 115hp Yamaha outboards. The M.V Reggie is GPS and Sonar equipped with state of the art electronics and also has a toilet for your added comfort. Matthew spent many sleepless nights planning customisations he wanted made on the M.V Reggie, so you can be assured that she has been designed specifically to maximise the chance of catching fish without putting client comfort in jeopardy. She is equipped with everything you need to land the big ones from top quality gear to the highly respected Skipper.
If you are fishing with the best, you can only expect to use the best - and that’s exactly what you get when you fish with Matthew Hunt Fishing Services. All our fishing trips are chartered out on the magnificent “M.V Reggie”. The vessel is named in memory of the Skipper’s long time fishing pal, ”Reggie”. He was always keen to get on the fish and his performances to coax a pilchard off unsuspecting anglers will always be remembered.

THE SKIPPER
Matthew Hunt

|
Matt is no stranger to fishing! Growing up fishing beside Rex Hunt has ensured a solid love for the fishing available in Victoria. Matt takes great pride in being able to share his knowledge to help you have a great day's fishing, wherever you choose to join him. Matthew has successfully been fishing the waters of not only Victoria, but most of Australia pretty much all of his life.
If he could spend his days doing one thing, it would be chasing Blue and Striped Marlin up on the south coast of NSW. He has been doing this for the past 20 years and never tires of taking friends out to experience the wonders of game fishing. His ability as a Skipper is outstanding and Matthew has many qualifications. He is qualified to perform first aid level 2 and has held a coxswain certificate for just under 15 years.
Don’t forget to tune into 3aw AM693 7pm every Summer Friday evening and check out the reports page for weekly updates on where they’re biting. |

THE CREW
Depending on the day (some days the boat is fishing 18hour days) it is possible for Matthew to engage the services of another skipper. Don't worry - all have fished with Matthew as Deck hands over the last 15 years and have worked their way up to their skippers ticket as well as having completed all required OH&S training and first aid level 2. All have a shared passion for fishing and the ability to find you the fish in both comfort and safety.
Craig Moore
Craig spends most of his time on the water and has fished in both the bays, Bass Strait, Portland and up the east coast as far as Pt. Stephens, both recreationally and commercially. He has spent many years running the deck of the Shimano Explorer and Sharkmen in Victoria, and is no stranger to finding the fish in both inshore and offshore waters. Craig has been in the fishing game for a long time and tries hard to ensure every charter is a successful one!
