Exmouth Yellowfin Tuna

Picture: Yellowfin tuna are some of the only fish that are warm blooded, making the mable to control body temperature. This results in large geographical ranges and extra power and speed (Photo courtesy of Dylan Picken).

Game fishing enthusiasts continue to encounter fair numbers of striped and small black marlin off the west coast in depths starting at 100m. Yellowfin tuna between 20 and 40kg have been found beyond the 100m contour while big schools of longtail and mack tuna have been located in a range of depths and areas.

Sailfish numbers are increasing along the west coast and it is anticipated that within a few weeks bigger numbers of the majestic sport fish will appear within the upper reaches of the gulf. Quite a few big queenfish and assortments of trevally are providing some entertaining sessions in the lower areas of gulf and the west coast beaches. Big poppers and stick baits have been arousing big giant trevally close to the reef line. Squid are being caught in reasonable numbers around the marina and throughout the gulf.
