Boats

Daniel Charsley achieved a billfish grand slam comprising a blue marlin, a black marlin and a sailfish in the one day. Sisters Tara and Rowena Golding landed their first ever black marlin recently. Jake Fitz caught several pink snapper to 57cm on stick baits near the Muiron Islands. Jaimie Campbell and a few mates used squid to catch red emperor, saddletail seaperch, goldband jobfish and coral trout in 70m to 110m of water.

Shore based

Plenty of squid continue to be caught from Learmonth Jetty and the marina. There are loads of whiting along the gulf beaches. Spangled emperor and bluebone are occasionally being caught from the coast near the lighthouse. Try Old Bundegi during the low tide change for queenfish, trevally and giant herring.
