Boats

Sailfish and a few small black marlin continue to be encountered in waters wide of Barred Creek and near The Peanut reef. Spanish mackerel have been found in a range of areas, however tuna have been hard to come by. The local charter boat operators have been putting their clients onto good catches of saddletail seaperch, blue lined emperor and rankin cod in 30m to 40m of water. There are still a few threadfin salmon being caught on a variety of methods within Roebuck Bay.

Shore based

Most of the barramundi that have been picked up in the Fitzroy River and local creeks have been small fish in the 35cm to 45cm range. The odd bigger fish between 70cm and 90cm was picked up in the river as well as Dampier and Crab creeks, which latter spots have also been fishing reasonably well for bluenose and threadfin salmon. Tripletail have been responding to an assortment of flies and hard-bodied lures near the moorings and flotsam located within Roebuck Bay. Try Coconut Wells for threadfin salmon, trevally and whiting.
