Broome Catches

Barramundi in the 70cm to 85cm range have been caught in Dampier Creek while the flats at Crab Creek have been fishing well for threadfin salmon between 70cm and 80cm. Mangrove jack have been a little hard to come by recently, however there have been a few picked up in Willie Creek, which has also been producing bluenose salmon, queenfish and trevally.
The deeper areas of Roebuck Bay have been producing black jewfish of about a metre. Several boats reported good bluebone catches off Gantheaume Point this past week. Tripletail have been caught on soft plastics and flies near the floating logs and other pieces of flotsam in Crab Creek.

Kununurra Catches

The last couple of weeks have delivered mixed fishing results. Generally, there hasn’t been big numbers however, there have been isolated good reports of some big barramundi being caught out of Wyndham.
One solo fisher was lucky and skilled enough to land a 126cm barramundi whilst flicking lures on the turn of the tide. With the recent dry spell and roads being reopened, fishers now have access to the Lower Ord River, which will open up the fishing options closer to town.
