Matthew Hunt Fishing Services generally departs from the boat ramp listed,you will be advised at time of booking if it is to be from an alternate boat ramp. Matthew Hunt Fishing Services is a mobile unit and will depart from the closest port to where the best fishing is. In previous seasons Matthew Hunt Fishing Services has departed from Port Fairy and Apollo Bay when targeting the larger Southern Blue Fin Tuna. Each season sees the schools position themselves at various points off shore, many times they are located out at the continental shelf, and this is where the larger 'barrels' generally gather. When booking your trip make sure your Skipper is fully qualified to fish in these areas. The Skipper will require a Master 5 & MED 3 certificate and boat must hold off shore survey.

Matthew Hunt holds both of these certificates and MV Reggie holds required off shore survey.

Matthew Hunt Fishing Services is fully compliant to reach these areas.

This is by far our most popular Charter offered and books quickly!

MAHI MAHI - DOLPHIN FISH

Currently caught as a by-catch while targeting the Southern Blue Fin Tuna. They are found on the shelf off Portland, and are becoming are more regular catch as time goes on. There have been scientific studies done recently that suggest that as the south east waters warm up over the next few season, MAHI MAHI will be in great numbers off Portland. MAHI MAHI by-catches should increase over the coming seasons.
