Why Queenscliff?
Queenscliff is situated at the mouth of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria and offers a unique and diverse range of fishing options. These range from shallow sand flats to 90 metre canyons, all within 10 minutes of Queenscliff's sheltered harbour. Having shorelines that offer protection from 90% of the region's predominant winds, Queenscliff allows our clients to fish safely and in relative comfort. More importantly, it is rare for a trip to be cancelled due to weather.
Because of our close proximity to Port Phillip Heads, we are able to offer the option of fishing Bass Strait on all our trips (weather permitting). The vast majority of the grounds fished have no commercial pressure, and this coupled with nutrient-rich tidal flows make Queenscliff a fisherman's paradise.
Big Red Fishing Charters is owned by Peter Smallwood. Peter provides his clients with sound local knowledge, having spent over 25 years full-time fishing in the Queenscliff/Bass Strait region.
