Broome Catches

Billfishing enthusiasts continue to encounter fair numbers of sailfish and small black marlin offshore, especially near The Peanut. Spanish mackerel have been responding well to trolled minnows and rigged garfish off Entrance Point and Gantheaume Point. Nice catches of snapper have been picked up in Roebuck Bay and areas out wide.
Bluebone have been caught in good numbers in relatively shallow waters. Threadfin salmon have been a little hit and miss in the bay and local creeks. Barramundi catches are increasing in the local creeks and the Fitzroy as water temperatures in these systems rise as the start of the wet seasons draws nearer. Shore-based fishers along Cable Beach are enjoying good sessions on whiting.
