Broome Catches
Picture: Mangrove jack are a welcomed catch and can test your gear and skill around the snaggy mangrove lined banks of the Broome coast creeks (Photo courtesy of @benleeson21).
An assortment of predators, including queenfish and trevally, are feasting on the masses of small bait occupying Cable Beach, Barred Creek and Dampier Creek. Barramundi and mangrove jack have also been caught in the local creeks during the neap tide periods, while bigger barra are mostly being found in the lower reaches of the Fitzroy River.
The moorings and any flotsam located in Roebuck Bay are worth stopping by to see if any tripletail are nearby. Spanish mackerel have been encountered off Gantheaume Point and Entrance Point. The local charter operators have been putting their clients onto plenty of blue lined emperor and saddletail seapearch.
Kununurra Catches

The barramundi fishing in the Cambridge Gulf has been a bit patchy of late. The best reports are coming from the guys who are finding the deep holes around rock bars and snags inside of the river mouths. The barra seem to be holding a bit deeper due to the high water temps which is normal for this time of year.
Lake Kununurra has been firing. With locals really catching onto the fact that you can now spend a day on the lake with the family and not miss out on a days fishing. One report from a couple of guys who spent two days fishing the lake boated and released 22 fish between 55 and 81cm. They found flicking and trolling the snags and rock bars to be the most productive method. But more commonly most boats that are heading up river are landing around 3-4 good sized barra for their effort.
Be safe on the water over Christmas.
