Exmouth Catches
Picture: We love it when our members send us photos! This is Joshua with a big brassy trevally that he caught all by himself with only a little bit of help from his mum at the end! These fish are often mistaken as GT ‘s because they look very similar (Photo courtesy of Sara Hennessy).
Peak Sportfishing achieved a grand slam for one of its clients on Sunday comprising five black marlin, a striped marlin and a sailfish. Giant trevally have been responding well to big poppers and stick baits retrieved from the white water near the back of the reef. Spanish mackerel have been picked up on bibbed minnows in 15m to 25m of water behind the reef line, especially south of Tantabiddi.
Sailfish are expected to turn up in big numbers in the upper areas of the gulf during the coming weeks. Some nice golden and brassy trevally have been caught near the shoals in the lower and eastern areas of the gulf. Try Learmonth Jetty, the marina and the Tantabiddi boat launching facility for squid.
