ictoria’s fishing scene
ramps up around the
beginning of September
each year as hoards of
snapper
make
their
annual trek into Western
Port and Port Phillip Bay.
By the end of December,
the annual spawning run
is almost over and anglers
begin chomping at the bit
to head out to target King
George whiting.
Despite whiting being a
year round target, it is
from November through
until March when they are
in greater numbers.
By the time snapper season
draws to an end, anglers in
droves quickly swap their
snapper gear to whiting
gear and head out on the
hunt.
