Local charter boat operators have been putting their clients onto good numbers of sailfish in the usual areas where the popular sportfish turn up including the grounds out from Barred Creek. According to the crews, the sails have been bigger than the usual 15 to 20kg fish that have turned up during previous seasons.

Spanish mackerel and longtail tuna have also been evident offshore. Disaster Rock is worth a visit with plenty of queenfish, trevally and mackerel hanging about there.

More queenfish have been showing up at the boat ramp near the port. Threadfin salmon between 75 and 90cm are responding well to baits and lures near Crab Creek. Barramundi enthusiasts have been finding 70 to 90cm fish in the middle reaches of the Fitzroy River.
