Sport fishing enthusiasts are a little apprehensive at what the open ocean will be offering during this weekend’s tournament following slim catches of sailfish and black marlin so far this season. Big schools of baitfish located near Grey Shoals should give the competitors some hope. If the water temperatures drop quickly enough, it is expected that things will come together through the waters out from Barred Creek, which traditionally produces the better billfish captures each season. While the billfish are yet to be encountered in big numbers, there seems to be plenty of giant and golden trevally about and quite a few Spanish mackerel in certain areas.
Bait shoals sitting out the front of the Roebuck Bay Caravan Park have been attracting big queenfish and medium size trevally. Good numbers of threadfin salmon between 60 and 80cm and the odd fish of more than a metre continue to be caught in Roebuck Bay. Bluenose salmon can be sought at the local creeks.
