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!

Barramundi enthusiasts report that much of the Fitzroy River is discoloured due to the recent rain. A few barra, mostly between 65 and 85cm, have been caught on live baits at areas that have been experiencing a tidal push including Telegraph Pool and Langis Crossing. Smaller barra have been picked up in the local creeks together with threadfin salmon, bluenose salmon and mangrove jack.
More threadies and bluenose are being caught in Roebuck Bay. Queenfish, golden and giant trevally can be targeted at the jetty, especially around the change of tide. The boats trolling rigged garfish and bibbed minnows off Entrance Point and Gantheaume Point are picking up spanish mackerel and varieties of tuna.
