Jason has had a love affair with the sea since early childhood – a passion that’s only matured over time. As a teen, rather than spending his money on fish & chips, he purchased his first boat, and set out to catch his own. In 2015, Jason secured his dream job and acquired the successful and well-established T-Cat Charters.

Jason has a seasoned knowledge of Westernport Bay, making him the perfect guide for your fishing journey. He provides all that aboard; a fine balance of location, wind, tide and water temperature to ensure the best possible chance of a successful catch.

Westernport Bay is Victoria’s second largest bay and home to a wide variety of animals including Australian fur seals, whales and dolphins as well as seabirds and migratory waders.

Many species of fish are found in the waters of Westernport Bay, including; Snapper, Salmon, Flathead, Trevally, Gummy Sharks, Whiting, Leatherjackets, Mullets and Squid.

The bay is known best for its two closest islands; Phillip Island and French Island.

A fishing license is required for all Victorian recreational fishers.

Appropriate clothing, sunglasses, hats, and sun block are essential for a day out on the boats. Sun block is provided, however if you are allergic to regular sun block, please ensure to bring your own. A warm, waterproof jacket is also an essential item as the weather can be unpredictable.

In the case of changed weather conditions, the skipper has the final decision on the boat. If due to bad weather, or any other reason, the skipper reserves the right to end the charter.

Disclaimer: Photos taken on the charter may be displayed on the website for promotional purposes. If you would like it to be removed from the website, please contact Jason directly.
