Broome Roebuck Bay

Picture: Roebuck bay – named after explorer William Dampier’s vessel by the crew of the HMS Beagle who visited the bay in 1840. Read Recfishwest’s media release here for more info on how fishing will be included in the proposed marine park, after Recfishwest was able to help provide research and advice to demonstrate the tourism, conservation & social value it provides the state.

Tackle World Broome’s Steve Chambers encountered good numbers of sailfish and plenty of mack tuna at Grey Shoal last week. Varieties of mackerel including shark, grey and broadbar have been turning up relatively close to shore off Cable Beach while Spanish mackerel have been responding to trolled bibbed minnows and rigged garfish off Entrance Point and Gantheaume Point.

Some nice catches of mulloway have been coming from Roebuck Bay. Barramundi, mostly between 55cm and 80cm, are starting to be caught in Dampier Creek while fish to a metre have been landed in the Fitzroy River.
