Broome Catches
(Picture: Barramundi are still being caught, along with threadies and queenies in local creeks)
Sailfish continue to be encountered in waters off Barred Creek together with varieties of other pelagic species including Spanish mackerel, longtail tuna and cobia. Reef fishing enthusiasts have been picking up fair catches of bluebone, fingermark bream, saddletail seaperch and bluelined emperor in depths leading up to 40m of water.
Threadfin and bluenose salmon can be sought from boat and shore at Roebuck Bay. Shore-based fishers have been enjoying some light tackle entertainment on queenfish and trevally along the Town Beach.
A couple of nice permit have been picked up on fly within the greater Broome area during the past week. There are still a few barramundi being caught on lures and live baits in the Fitzroy River and local creeks.
