Sailfish continue to be encountered offshore together with a few small black marlin, plenty of spanish mackerel, mack tuna and a few longtail tuna. Reef fishing within Roebuck Bay and wider has been productive with plenty of bluebone, fingermark bream and bluelined emperor caught during the past week.
Threadfin salmon to 1.2m and smaller bluenose salmon are responding well to baits and lures within the bay and the local creeks. Barramundi have occasionally been caught in the Fitzroy River near Telegraph and Pelican Pool. Try Willie Creek for mangrove jack, queenfish and assortments of trevally.
