There have been mixed reports from the boats targeting billfish with some crews encountering up to a dozen or so sailfish a session and others struggling to raise a single fish. Spanish mackerel have been found in good numbers in areas that have included waters wide of Barred Creek and out from Gantheaume Point.
Disaster Rock is always worth a try during this part of the season for cobia, queenfish and big golden and giant trevally. Mulloway to a metre have been caught quite frequently at Black Ledge while bluebone have been picked up in big numbers near Gantheaume Point. Shore-based anglers have been enjoying the queenfish and trevally action near the port and at the mouth of Willie Creek.
