Bagout Fishing Charters

Bagout operates seasonal fishing charters from three Victorian locations: Carrum (Port Phillip Bay), Stoney Point on the Mornington Peninsula, and Portland. They target snapper, bluefin tuna, gummy shark, and whiting across different seasons. The custom-built 8-metre aluminium boat carries up to 10 passengers with twin engines and modern fishing equipment. Trips range from 5-hour snapper tours to full-day deep-sea tuna expeditions, suited to recreational anglers, groups, corporate events and celebrations. The crew brings over 60 years combined fishing experience. Charters operate only in suitable weather conditions, with seasonal scheduling aligned to fish migration patterns.
