Savage Seas Adventures is an established fishing guiding company that has been operating since 2005. Savage Seas Adventures specialises in one on one education in fishing techniques and guided fishing experiences. Since our inception, we have established ourselves as a leading provider of excellent guide fishing experiences and have developed a sizable fan base due to the release of our DVD movies.

In conjunction, we have establish ourselves as a business with strong views towards sea life and fishing conservation. What sets us apart from the other fishing guides is our one on one service and the fact that we film and edit a DVD of the customers fishing experience so they can show their friends and remember the day they had on Savage Seas Adventures.

Our Fishing Guide services are open to the public who wish to learn how to catch their desired species of fish. Here at Savage Seas Adventures we put the customers need first and hope to satisfy their needs. On the fishing service, we provide our clients with everything they need for the day.

Our clients name the fish species and we will teach them how to catch it. With over 40 years combined fishing and free diving experience we definitely have the knowledge and expertise to satisfy even the harshest critics. Thought out the duration of the guide, video footage will be taken on quality high-definition cameras of our clients fishing and a DVD of the day will be made for the customer which they will receive a few days after the event

This is all included in the price. All the latest fishing rods and fishing reels provided by Paul Worstelings Cranbourne Tackle World, and all the bait will be included, however we do take some time from the day to teach you to catch your own bait as this is an important part of being successful. On the boat, our clients will be shown how to tie appropriate knots, bait hooks and the correct actions taken to catch the fish. Reading the tides and moon phases play a huge role in catching the right fish and our clients will be shown how this is done to maximise they quality of the fish

Charlie Micallef has always had a passion for the ocean. In his early days he used to compete in spearfishing competitions and was a member of the 'bulldogs' spearfishing club. He competed against people such as Rob Torelli who has won many Australian championships. He has a couple of Victorian spear fishing records, and has dived many areas in NSW and Vic, especially the waters between Portland and Wilsons Promontory.

Charlie's most exciting time in the water was at Kennett River in 1981 when he was surrounded by hundreds of kingfish around the 20 kg mark, he has also witnessed a feeding frenzy of hundreds of bronze whaler shark's which forced many out of water with nothing more than the heads of their catch. He even witnessed one of his mates being dragged backwards in the water by a large great White shark that had a hold of the fish he had on a float - that was at Portland.

Charlie Micallef has owned 5 boats, his first boat was a 3m Carribean runabout, the second boat a Pride Pacemaker, the third a Savage Defender which was purchased in '97 and was soon named 'Savage Seas'. In February
2007 he purchased his fourth, a 550 Evolution fitted with a 150 E-Tech which is was named Savage Seas II. This boat was featured in Savage Seas Adventures Volume II DVD.

Charlie's current vessel is a Haines Hunter 600R which he was fortunate enough tobe given special permission by the Haines Hunter management to film the building process.

Charlie has developed a strong bond with Haines Hunter and he is now involved in the future development of new and exiting boats.

Charlie sites Rex hunt as inspiring him to pick up a fishing rod, in fact his first fishing rod was a Rex Hunt Ultra light which he took pride in catching his first fish on, it happened to be a Port Phillip Bay King George Whiting. As the saying goes the rest is history. He has caught many species but has become very fond of the Port Phillip Bay's southern end and the large Gummy Sharks that cruise there. Charlie loves being a fishing guide and gets to take many people out on their own boat and teach them the correct way to catch a fish. This is extremely satisfying for him particularly when he puts his clients onto a fish of a lifetime.

Charlie has made a name for himself as a pro-reporter on Fishnet.com.au over the years and then turned his hand to making local fishing DVD's about snapper and gummy sharks. Recently he joined the ranks of Salty Dog Films. His underwater diving skills, camera experience and good old fashioned charisma make him a valuable asset to the fishing/media industry - both in front of and behind the camera. Tune into Charlie on Friday morning's in Melbourne on 97.7FM and on Saturday morning, SEN 1116AM and on 94.7FM The Pulse and hear what's going on around the Port Phillip, Bass Strait and Western port.

He is blessed with a beautiful wife Helen, a daughter Kali, and son Ashley. He also loves motor sport, especially V8 Super Cars and is a member of the Holden Special Vehicles club HSV.
