Exmouth Catches

Billfish enthusiasts are encountering blue marlin to 250kg beyond the 600m contour while smaller black and striped marlin have been raised on skirted lures and rigged baits in depths starting at 100m. Sailfish continue to be found near the bait balls located in the upper areas of the gulf.
Trolled bibbed minnows are working well on spanish and shark mackerel at the back of the reef line. Poppers and stick baits retrieved from the white water are enticing giant trevally to 30kg as well as red bass. Fly fishers working the lower parts of the gulf have caught queenfish to a metre and permit. VLF Bay has queenfish and assortments of trevally turning up, especially at the change of tide.
