Billfish enthusiasts continue to encounter sailfish and small black marlin off Barred Creek and near The Peanut. Spanish mackerel, which have turned up in big numbers in Roebuck Bay, are believed to be feeding on the hoards of wolf herring in the area.

Cobia are being found in a range of depths and areas. Threadfin salmon to a metre and the odd bigger fish remain the bay. Mulloway catches have increased along the drop offs and ledges. Good catches of reef fish including blue lined emperor, black snapper and coral trout have been coming from the ground approximately 20 miles out. Barramundi are starting to be caught in the Fitzroy River and local creeks more regularly.
