Billfish numbers seem to have increased offshore following reports of several sailfish and small black marlin captures during the past week. The sails and small blacks have been rather fussy however while they feed on the stacks of small baitfish located in waters off Barred Creek and areas farther north.

Spanish mackerel in the 10 to 20kg range are also being encountered offshore together with schools of longtail tuna. The crews targeting reef fish have been picking up some nice snapper and bluebone in Roebuck Bay.

Threadfin salmon are also about the bay with the 80cm to 1.2m fish have been responding well to both baits and lures. Shore-based fishers have also been getting among the threadfin and bluenose salmon action along Cable Beach and the local creeks.
