Juvenile Snapper Release
The release of the juvenile snapper grown out under the Snapper Guardians program from eggs recovered from Cockburn Sound late last year will take place next Saturday.
It will take place on the beach at Jervoise Bay, Woodman Point (adjacent to Cockburn Power Boat Club and to the west of it) on Saturday 6 February 10 am – 12 pm.
All anglers and Snapper Guardians are invited to come and help Recfishwest release thousands of juvenile snapper. More details can be found in our Snapper Guardians Project article. Don’t miss out!

Pictured: Golden trevally
Steve Chambers, of Broome Tackle World, caught black marlin, sailfish, dolphin fish and wahoo during a recent trip. Trolling bibbed minnows along the back of the reef on the west side has been worthwhile for spanish mackerel. Spangled emperor are a chance along the west coast beaches while yellowfin whiting can be sought at the town beaches.
Try Old Bundegi during an incoming tide for queenfish, small giant and golden trevally. Plenty of small queenfish, trevally and a few mangrove jack are hanging around the rock walls at the marina. Giant herring and big brassy trevally are turning up along the lower reaches of the gulf.
