Broome Catches
Picture: Check out how closely the colour on the top of this Barramundi matches the water colour… any poor mullet swimming above this guy would have a hard time spotting him below (Photo: Courtesy of Broome Fishing Club).
Billfish enthusiasts continue to encounter sailfish and small black marlin, especially near The Peanut. Longtail tuna schools have also been found among the billfish as well as in waters off Entrance Point and Gantheaume Point.
Threadfin and bluenose salmon have been caught in better numbers in Roebuck Bay during the bigger tides.
Shore-based fishers have been getting among plenty of bluenose salmon at Barn Hill Beach. Barramundi have been responding well to live baits and lures at Telegraph Pool, Pelican Pool and The Cuttings. Barra catches have been improving in the local creeks, which are also fishing reasonably well for queenfish, mangrove jack, estuary cod and assortments of trevally.
As you can see above from the awesome ‘meter moment’ from last years B.F.C Barra Comp – the value this fishing brings to the local communities of the top end of our state is priceless.
