23.01.2022 Please don't hesitate to contact us at anytime if you have any questions about the shack or your stay with us. Here are a few questions we have received and our replies.

23.01.2022 Still plenty of tuna around the north shore from julia reef to lady julia percy island. We took the opportunity on the long weekend to get these two keen fisherman out aboard blackpearl for their first tuna trip, with 10yo brayden managing to land his first solo tuna, and 8yo lockie having a ball winding in a few of his own (with a little help from dad). These fish were taken from around 30mt of water out from the wind farm east of julia reef. We have had consistent success ...from this area for months now and fish are showing no signs of disappearing just yet. Best lures for us have been samaki pacemaker deep 140s in "sauri" and "red head" also some success with small jethead skirts in lumo and pink at times. Other reports still have catches of whiting and plenty of pinky snapper around the north shore. A few barrels have been landed and or lost over towards port fairy, and reports of school tuna are also starting to show up offshore south of lawrence rock. Lee breakwall have plenty of small pinky snapper, a few whiting, couta and one report of small king fish over the weekend. We will now try to get an updated fishing report up on the page regularly, so if you do manage to catch a few on your stay at Salty Shack, let us know or send through a few pictures and we will be happy to include them in our report. Cheers and happy fishing! See more

22.01.2022 COUNTDOWN TO MONTH LONG HOOKED ON TUNA FEST Its a new year and new look for one of Victorias most up and coming fishing events.

22.01.2022 The big tuna have arrived!. Right on time for the portland fishing comp. The leading fish for the $10,000 prize currently sits at 18.1kg with the next three weekends still left to fish.

19.01.2022 While the weather may be a little on the cold side, the fishing over in Portland is still running hot. If you want to get among them for yourself, the boys on gone fishing do a great job, on a damn fine boat...

14.01.2022 Salty shack fishing report... Gday all. First of all we would like to take the time to say thanks for the amazing support of recent times. Salty shack has experienced more visitors than ever in the last 12 months and we appreciate every one of you. It also has to be noted how well our guests are treating, and leaving the shack, it doesnt go unnoticed and that helps us to remain as what we believe to be the most cost effective short term accommodation in the area. Thank yo...u all Anyhow, on to the fishing! The weather conditions seem to be finally starting to show some improvements, with a few calm days and even a small amount of sunshine over the last few weeks so its a great time to get out on the water. The barrel tuna have again been consistent for this time of year with plenty getting caught early in the month. The tuna fishing has slowed a little over the last few weeks, but for the dedicated they are definitely still out there, with any fishable day still consistently seeing a jumbo tuna or two landed. The Lee Breakwall is seeing the usual extra traffic that the school holidays bring and for good reason, its such a convenient and easy platform to get the kids out for a fish, there are a few squid on offer, best spots are usually on the shallow end of the wall before the first gate. The pinky snapper are biting at times keeping everyone interested and there are some decent size fish but many are slightly undersize. Fishing the breakwall at night has also reported to be producing a few sharks including 7gill and gummys.. Offshore on Wednesday we fished the area South of Cape Nelson lighthouse, and found plenty of snapper around 35 to 40cm best baits were squid and fresh barracouta fillet. Any amount of these fish on offer out there if you can get through the couta without losing your gear as they really are thick right now. Good sized school shark and gummy shark in that area too, we managed one of each and lost a couple to bite offs, so it pays to use wire trace on your rigs if targeting gummys, as the school shark are just as common at the moment. Good luck out there, and stay safe Cheers and happy fishing

13.01.2022 Portland fishing report. School tuna have been showing up in huge numbers in recent weeks, most reports have been from south to south west of Lawrance rocks from around the 60 metre line to the 110 and beyond. Fish have mainly been on the smaller side averaging around 15kgs, however what they have lacked in size they sure have made up for in numbers and are great fun on lighter tackle. A couple of barrels came in last week both topping the 100kg, also plenty of those "one tha...t got away" stories coming up of larger fish hooked and winning their freedom, so the big ones are about and always a chance for the die hards that are willing to put in the work. Most success for our boat has been with the med sized jethead skirts (7inch) in various colours depending on the mood at the time, but "lumo" and "purple slimey" colours have been stand outs for us recently. The north shore has been fishing ok around the shallows, with a little patience and a bit of burley, you can easily pick up a good feed of pinky snapper and a few large whiting if you are lucky. The weather is not looking great for the coming week, but hopefully it will do the right thing for us all and drop off next week. Also remember if you do catch a few on your stay to drop us a line or send through a pic and we can add it to our report. Cheers and happy fishing

12.01.2022 Nothing but the best for our guests at the Salty Shack! Whether youve spent the day on the water in freezing conditions and need to defrost in a hurry. Spent time checking out the sites in the heat of summer, or had a big day watching whales, seals, dolphins, Gannetts or any of the other creatures to view along the amazing Portland coastline. We have you covered with a new Fujitsu split system installed which will have you cooling down, or warming up in no time.

12.01.2022 Salty shack fishing report The dust has now settled on what was a busy school holiday period around portland. The hooked on Portland fishing comp was a big success for the town, and seen plenty of boats and land based anglers trying their luck for a prize.. The North shore tuna have been a bit more hit and miss than last year, however the fish are still definitely around, we managed one smaller fish yesterday east of Julia reef casting a nomad 155 riptide stickbait, while t...he other boat fishing with us had success trolling small jethead skirts. Pink and green/evil colours drawing the strikes.. The bottom fishing in that area was also productive, we had a great micro jigging session with any amount of Pinkys on offer. Also large pike, and a blue morwong (or queen snapper) as some call them. Our fishing companions also managed a nice gummy in the same area, so the options and variety really are great in that area at this time of year.. Happy fishing to all See more

12.01.2022 Not sure of the results from the tuna comp today. However it does look like theres some great fishing to be had out at the shelf. Also reports of of a 100kg+ mako straight out from the lighthouse today.

09.01.2022 Salty Shack can still be booked privately using the contact details on this page or using the following link, through Seaview Real Estate. http://www.portlandaccom.com.au//Holiday-/173-Salty-Shack/

08.01.2022 Salty shack fishing report Hey all, been a while since the last update on the Portland fishing scene. Weather has been restricting most boats of late, but for those who are getting out there is still school tuna around the 10kg mark on offer. These tuna have been a little harder to tempt lately, charter boats seem to have had mixed results, fish fired up in the two days leading up to the full moon with most boats managing to bag out early then almost completely shut down ...the following day. Best areas were around the 60 to 70 mt line straight out from Lawrence rocks and towards Cape Bridgwater. For the bottom bouncers, reports of quality gummy shark have been coming in from the 120mt line. We headed out aboard the black pearl on Tuesday finding plenty of average sized pinky snapper around 35cm and some larger morwong in 60mt straight out from Cape Nelson lighthouse. We also managed some very nice sized calamari squid from around the Lee breakwall. North shore has been quite over the last few weeks, although with a little patience a few boats have caught some real quality king George Whiting over the 50cm mark, and big calamari have started to show up, so hopefully this will continue to get better over the coming weeks. Good luck and happy fishing See more

08.01.2022 Saltyshack fishing report.. Barrels!! After waiting patiently for the late run of jumbo tuna to arrive, it is finally upon us. Reports have been coming through thick and fast over the last few days from sources such as, Portland bait and tackle and the charter boat pages. Going on last year and the year before, we should see these fish about for a few weeks now, the weather report is looking fairly good and no doubt we should see a huge number of boats heading to Portland ...to try their luck for that fish of a lifetime. Salty Shack will be available at a moments notice for when the opportunity arises to get out there. And when you do, dont be afraid to shamelessly show off your catch on our page. Cheers and happy fishing See more

07.01.2022 Happy new year to you all! May your 2020 be a fantastic one. Cheers

02.01.2022 Please dont hesitate to contact us at anytime if you have any questions about the shack or your stay with us. Here are a few questions we have received and our replies.

02.01.2022 Always worth a quick cast at the lee breakwall when your in town... Ive found it pays to have a rod pre rigged with a jig in the car for those quick trips to the "shops". The family will thank you for the tasty calamari rings. This guy was second cast on the 6lb bream combo I had handy on one such trip

01.01.2022 We try our very best to include as many quality inclusions as a fishing group, or family would need. This is a visual list of those handy little items and things that are available for use by our guests while staying at the salty shack. We will continue to keep this updated (add and remove photos) as an itinerary of sorts, to ensure guests know what is available for use on Thier stay.
