点评:After reading a few bad reviews on here and plenty of good ones on other platforms I rang Sharkmen for a chat. I spoke with the lovely Dani who explained the matters around current and changing fishing seasons, bookings and cancelation policies and the ever so important factor - the impact of weather. When I started asking more technical fishing questions which required in-depth knowledge, she advised she would get a Skipper to give me a call.
Mr Sharkmen Marco gave me over 20 minutes of time discussing the fishing and providing honest feedback about the current fishery. Even stating I should hold off on booking for snapper as it has been tough fishing. That particularly surprised me. He owns the business and was happy to tell me NOT to book and miss out on paying customers! His passion was clear and knowledge immense. His explanation of the impacts of wind speed, direction and tides made me realise it’s not simple.
I ended up booking a whiting charter in Western port bay for myself and my son and we were greeted by Skipper Luke with deckhand Nick. The boat was large, clean and well equipped. It did have a toilet on board but it is one to get you out of trouble, I would recommend going before departure.
We had a great morning fishing, plenty to go round for a nice feed.
The crew answered our questions and even taught us how to fillet whiting. They were pleasant and approachable.
Overall my experience was a good one and I am booking a tuna charter for my son and I in May with Sharkmen again!

Sharkmen Marco 先生给了我 20 多分钟的时间讨论捕鱼情况并提供有关当前渔业的诚实反馈。甚至说我应该推迟预订鲷鱼,因为钓鱼很艰难。这让我特别惊讶。他拥有这家公司,并很高兴地告诉我不要预订并错过付费客户!他的热情明确,知识渊博。他对风速、风向和潮汐影响的解释让我意识到这并不简单。
我最终为自己和儿子在西港湾预订了鳕鱼包船,船长卢克和甲板水手尼克迎接了我们。船很大,干净,设备齐全。船上确实有厕所,但它可以让你摆脱麻烦,我建议在出发前去。
我们度过了一个愉快的早晨钓鱼,有很多可以吃的东西。
工作人员回答了我们的问题,甚至教我们如何去鳕鱼片。他们令人愉快且平易近人。
总的来说,我的经历很好,我将在五月份再次与 Sharkmen 一起为我和儿子预订金枪鱼包船!
