Broome is known mainly for its boat fishing, but it offers good opportunities for shore-based anglers as well.



It isn’t as open to recreational fishers as it once was, but it continues to produce queenfish and trevally consistently, although landing them from way up on high on the walkway requires some skill and practice, with an extended or flying gaff recommended.
It can also fire for mackerel and tuna at times, and barramundi and mulloway have also been pulled from around the pylons.
Cable Beach is famous for its sunsets, camel rides and swimming opportunities, but it can also produce good fishing. Giant threadfin and blue salmon are prize catches here.



The barramundi fishing in Willie Creek is improving every year, with the help of a restocking program supported by Recfishwest and run by the Kimberley Training Institute.
Roebuck is also a world class sports fishery with unique threadfin salmon, triple and barramundi calling this marine park home. Find more information on Roebuck Bay here.
