Broome Catches
Picture: Golden trevally are one of the better eating northern trevally species, particularly in curries and similar dishes as the meat doesn’t break apart.
Unlike previous years, the sailfish this season are rather dispersed and rarely being encountered in pods of more than two or three fish. Areas where sailfish, and the very odd small black marlin, were found this past week included the waters out from Barred Creek, west of Gantreaume Point and around The Peanut and The Oval.
The boats who targeted reef fish last week picked up a few red emperor in depths starting at 40m, some nice snapper within Roebuck Bay and plenty of bluebone in close. Sailfish between 8 and 12kg have been found in numbers while the bigger fish have mostly been caught without company. Shore-based fishers have been using baits and an assortment of lures to catch queenfish to a metre, bluenose salmon and trevally at Reddell, Demco and Town Beach. Threadfin salmon have been caught in the local creeks while the odd barramundi continued to be snared in the Fitzroy River. Try Crab Creek for mud crabs following reports of good hauls coming from the system lately.
