Broome Catches
Pictured: Estuary cod
Threadfin salmon to a metre and the odd bigger fish are being caught in good numbers by boat and shore-based anglers at Roebuck Bay. The threadies are mostly being caught on prawn baits, however there have still been a few fish taking live mullet and lures. Dampier and Willie Creeks are producing bluenose salmon and small trevally. Queenfish and trevally are the main species being caught from the jetty.
The Fitzroy River has been flowing quite steadily following the recent rain and consequently some nice hauls of cherabin are being had along the banks. The middle reaches of the river – spots like Telegraph Pool and Langis Crossing – are fishing fairly well for barramundi. Pete Nielsen, of Bluewater Tackle World, has been doing well on bluelined emperor, bluebone and estuary cod in Roebuck Bay. The deep holes and drop offs in the bay have been producing some nice mulloway.
