Exmouth Catches

Exmouth spangled emperor

Big schools of baitfish have turned up in the gulf and their presence has brought about sailfish and spanish mackerel in the upper regions as well as bludger trevally, cobia and queenfish, which have been turning up in a range of depths and areas. The marina has been fishing well for a variety of species including mangrove jack, estuary cod, sand bass, tarpon, bream and tusk fish.

Spangled emperor to 70cm have been coming from the ground between Mildura Wreck and Norwest Reef as well as inside the lagoon. The boats targeting reef fish out wide have been picking up reasonable catches of red emperor, goldband snapper and rankin cod. Black and striped marlin continue to be found between the 100m and 200m contours while bigger blue marlin were located in depths starting at 400m.
