Exmouth Catches
Picture: The shore based options in Exmouth are endless with plenty of fringing coral reefs allowing for encounters with big queenfish, GT’s, spangled emperor and even mackerel! (Photo courtesy Andrea_Izzotti_Shutterstock).
Boats:
A few crews who dropped baits in very deep waters this past week were rewarded with some beautiful ruby snapper. Spanish mackerel have been coming from the back of the reef north and south of Tantabiddi as well as west of the Muiron Islands. There are still a few black marlin and sailfish being caught off the west coast with billfish expected to show up in the gulf in numbers during the coming weeks.
Shore-based:
Poppers and stick baits are accounting for some nice queenfish and trevally at Jansz and Jacobz and there is heaps of bait near Bundegi. The marina is producing queenfish, trevally and the odd estuary cod. Squid are thick along both sides of the cape. There are a few whiting along Town Beach and the coast extending from south of the marina to Learmonth.
