Broome Catches

Boats

A 92cm and an 88cm barramundi were among dozens of smaller fish caught during the recent competitions in the Fitzroy River. According to Steve Chambers, of Tackle World Broome, most of the fish landed during the weekend events were between 45cm and 55cm. Steve’s boat managed a 78cm and a 65cm fish, which were the biggest of the 20 or so barra landed on the craft. Reef fishing enthusiasts have continued to do well on blue lined emperor and saddle tail seaperch in 25m to 35m of water. Spanish mackerel have been responding to bibbed minnows and rigged garfish trolled off Entrance Point and Gantheaume Point.

Shore based

An assortment of lures have been enticing barramundi along the local creek beds. The mouths of the local creeks and adjacent coast have been producing mixed catches of threadfin salmon, bluenose salmon, javelin fish and trevally. Coconut Wells is worth a wander for whiting and bream. Try the rocks at Gantheaume Point during the next set of neaps for bluebone, coral trout and estuary cod.
