Broome catches

While it's been rather windy around Broome this week, there were plenty of solid green mud crabs caught in the nets aboard @broomebillfishcharters, with the biggest going 21cm and brimming with meat.

Boats

After the wet and windy weather conditions improved later in the week the boaties in Broome were rewarded with good numbers of Spanish mackerel and a few tuna, with both species caught mainly on trolled hard-bodied lures. Bottom fishers in a range of depths found big numbers of blue-lined emperor, coral trout and a few red small red emperor in waters on both sides of Broome. Crab Creek has held threadfin salmon and a few blue-nosed salmon and at Dampier Creek it has been mostly blue-nosed salmon. Mud crab captures have been good at both creeks and also at The Fingers. As conditions in the Roebuck Bay settled catches of tripletail came from around the mooring buoys but northern mulloway catches have tapered off. Many boats have been targeting Spanish mackerel at Gantheaume Point with decent results too. The stronger easterly winds should start to drop off by midday into the evenings over the coming days, providing calmer windows.

@zacheryrelph knows a thing or two about punting on horses, but assures us that there was no luck involved in landing this Kimberley horse of a saddletail off Broome this week.

Shore-based

With creek access limited, most land-based fishers in Broome have focused on the jetties. Town Beach Jetty has produced bream, grunter and trevally species and the Port Jetty had the same along with a few bluebone. Plump whiting have rewarded holiday anglers at Cable Beach and Coconut Wells and when the tracks reopened, Barred and Willie Creek offered bream and mangrove jack as well as mud crabs. If accessible, Quandong Point is worth a try for trevally and queenfish. Strong flows have shut down barramundi fishing in the Fitzroy but it should improve this week. For the best tips and gear for your fishing expedition, make sure you visit the helpful pros at Tackle World Broome for advice and they will provide details on spots with the best access for a flick.

You may have heard about the Broome Aquaculture Centre potentially ceasing activities at the centre by the end of 2023. Given their incredible stocking of more than 1.3 million barramundi into Lake Kununurra over the past 10 years, Recfishwest will be speaking to DPIRD, which owns the lease for the aquaculture facility, on the future of the centre and the stocking program.

Meanwhile, check out some of the amazing Lake Kununurra barramundi fishing on offer in the cracking new YouTube video by local stocking group member Paul Cunningham here.

Exmouth catches

Rankin cod are common around the waters of Exmouth and while they can be quite slimy to handle, they make for great eating and put up a great fight. This solid fish was landed aboard @exmouth_fishing_charters.

Boats

Calmer conditions at the start of the week produced good billfishing out west of Exmouth with 30-40kg black marlin, sailfish and the odd striped marlin caught on trolled lures in 60-100m depths. In 30-40m depths Spanish, striped and school mackerel have been caught and in the 80-120m depths boaties have been bagging out on goldband snapper averaging 55cm. The hot baits for the goldband snapper have been mullet fillets or fresh squid. Depths of 10-20m have produced lots of Rankin cod and a few coral trout on the troll. Lures that can get down to 6m depths have accounted for both species, while kayakers trolling garfish baits at Helby Bank have tangled with Spanish mackerel. At the Muirons many boaties have been getting their quotas of Spanish mackerel with relative ease, and where there is water movement golden trevally have been caught there in good numbers. In the Gulf, Rankin cod have moved in from the deeper depths seeking cooler water and most boats have landed some stonkers. On the Gulf’s rubbly ground, bommies and ledges, blue-lined and spangled emperor and coral trout have been about with spearfishers enjoying the great water visibility, where they have done well on all three species but especially the coral trout. Remember if you’re spearfishing in the Exmouth Area, there are additional rules around spearfishing in the Ningaloo Marine Park on the West Side – check out the Recfishwest App for more info. A few manta rays have been spotted in the Gulf, meaning cobia could also be around. In close, squid catches have been reasonable around town and a few blue swimmer crabs have been caught deep in the Gulf. Boaties should bear in mind the average wait time at most ramps is about 45 minutes and trailer parking can be difficult. It is looking like nice conditions for the rest of the week, so make sure you’re courteous to others at the ramps (it works off car order in Exmouth if you're a tourist) and try fishing remotely if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle.

Shore-based

With Exmouth bursting at the seams with school holiday visitors it has been worth travelling a bit further to find quieter spots. The boat ramp area at Tantabiddi has been chaotic, so shore fishers could be better off targeting the Mildura Wreck and the Lighthouse. At Mildura Wreck a bluespotted tuskfish was landed earlier this week and both spots have produced bluebone and spangled emperor on Crab lures, or the real thing. Chucking sinking stickbaits around there can also produce giant trevally or queenfish. The town marina has been fishing well for a variety of species with a few surprises this week including rock flathead and small coral trout. Otherwise, the Exmouth marina is holding cod, bream and mangrove jack with peeled prawn baits working well on most marina species. On the outside of the marina rock wall a few small queenfish have be caught on slices and squid have been about. At Bundegi and Learmonth Jetty small trevally and queenfish have been cruising past from time to time. Learmonth is also fishing well for squid, whiting and bream and a few school mackerel have turned up there too. Wapet Creek has been fished heavily, but can produce bream and mangrove jack and a few mud crabs came from there this week. A good tip from the crew at Tackle World Exmouth for holiday fishers is to start off using oily baits such mulies to bring the fish in, then switch to squid to deter the pickers.

Kalbarri catches

Here is more proof that @shimano.fish ambassador @nickihuntfishing is just living the dream in our Mid-West. This cracker of a longtail tuna was landed via her Shimano Stella 4000 (just to rub it in even more). Fish was quickly released to fight another day.

Boats

Before this week’s bad weather and big swells boaties were being rewarded with dhufish around the 10kg mark in depths around 25m as well as decent Spanish mackerel, with most catches coming from north of town. Pink snapper catches were also plentiful before the swells came up, although the size was nothing special, along with breaksea cod and these were mainly caught close in along the cliffs and also around Sand Patch. With a gentle southerly wind and swell, it should be pleasant on the water for a majority of this week and the visibility should be decent, so trolling for larger pelagics will be popular.

Shore-based

With swells easing it could be worth targeting pink snapper around the gorges, or big tailor at Oyster Reef. A few good pinks came from Rainbow Valley before the blow and this week tailor up to 65cm have been smashing mulies and stickbaits at Chinamans. Mulloway are still about with a young visitor to town catching and releasing a 1.1m croaker at the Murchison River mouth. The river has proved the safest and most reliable spot all week, with good cod coming from the marina jetty and bream around 30cm throughout the river, while a few mud crabs are still being caught. With better weather conditions Wittecarra and Red Bluff should be worth a crack for tailor and herring, and Back Beach and Frustrations could produce the bigger tailor. When the Murchison clears a little it’s likely whiting catches will also improve at the Sand Spit. Big thanks to Dean from Kalbarri Sports and Dive for his tips as always!

Geraldton catches

Boats

Most boaties have been cooling their heels because of the poor weather, but before it turned nasty a few crews headed out south of town and managed to land pink snapper and the odd baldchin groper. While the conditions were good, squid chasers were rewarded with impressive numbers and sizes, all the way from Southgates around to the Batavia Coast Marina with Pages Beach and Point Moore the pick of the spots. The winds will be gentle over the coming days although the swell is still a little wild, so drifting might be rather quick for those targeting bottom species. Trolling is a good option though so best of luck if you're heading out.

Shore-based

Fishing had been quiet from the shore even before the fronts pushed in, but last weekend a 10kg mulloway was landed south of Flat Rocks, while at Point Moore anglers flicking natural-coloured 105mm Ocean’s Legacy Keeling stickbaits into the wash landed tailor up to 55cm and school-sized yellowtail kingfish. At the Batavia Coast Marina squid catches had been reasonable and inside it is still fishable for bread-and-butter species including herring, yellowtail, pike, bream and whiting, with flathead always a chance as well. Out at the eastern breakwater Samson fish approaching the 10kg mark have been caught. It should be decent land-based conditions with lighter winds helping with casting although the swell may have washed out common areas. Look for deep gutters or reef breaks if soaking baits. Big thanks to Geraldton Sports Centre for their report as always!

Lancelin catches

A beautiful snap showing how popular the Lancelin jetty is for families and their kids during the school holidays, with glassy conditions and a pristine sunset to round out Saturday.

Boats

The weather was as good as it gets last weekend, with glassy seas and no swell, although anglers did find a strong current to contend with offshore which made drifting a challenge. Boats fishing the 40m depths were reporting plenty of baldchin groper along with snapper, cuttlefish and dhufish, while the 30m depths were very difficult to find much at all. Some great catches were taken along and inside the White Bank in relatively shallow 10-15m depths however, with plenty of dhufish in close and a number caught over the 10kg mark, along with pink snapper and breaksea cod. Big skippy have made the inshore move too, with some schools producing solid fish to 50cm. Lower winds but a slightly higher swell of around 1.5-2m this weekend with a bit of rain, but it should see fishable conditions for the boaties punching out.

Shore-based

Late last week saw some good-sized greenback tailor in the reef breaks and gutters, however by the time it came to weekend fishing the weather was just too good that the larger fish seem to have moved to deeper waters, with the seas dead glassy and the water so clear under a bright moon. While fishers were treated to Hollywood conditions, few fishers even managed a decent bite at all, even with the jetty teeming with excited families and their kids wetting a line. Conditions quickly deteriorated to strong winds and huge swell as the week progressed, so hopefully the fish will be back in close this weekend now that the inshore gutters have been stirred up. Big thanks to Lancelin's fishing guru Peter Fullarton for his tips and make sure you check out his Tailored Treks fishing tours if you want to be put on to the fish.

Esperance catches

Guess who's back, back again, Tyson's back, with a kraken. This nice squid landed by @tnttietjens has been submitted into the Chase the Kraken comp and the cash prize pool is already at $1000! A few nice squid have been measured in but nothing too big yet, so there is plenty of time left to catch a beauty and submit your entry before the comp closes on August 16. Pay a visit to the crew from Southern Sports & Tackle for more comp details.

Boats

The weather in Esperance has been magic with five straight days of near glass-offs resulting in many substantial catches. For starters, lots of pink snapper around the 4kg mark have been caught out west of Figure of Eight Island and behind Observatory Island. At Mondrain Island a trophy nannygai of 67cm was landed and waters east, west and south of there have produced scores of nanny's, with the hot bite meaning many boats headed in early. Big Samson fish around the 20kg mark have been caught at Douglas Patch and Leg of Lamb, while Charley and Cull islands have fished well for breaksea cod and harlequin fish. Those fishing from tinnies have found good numbers of King George whiting and skippy up to 40cm biting on squid baits at Lovers Cove, while the corner of Wylie Bay and the sand patches behind the breakwater have offered plenty of sand whiting. Squid have been in excellent numbers east of Cook Rocks in 13-16m depths, with boats getting their quotas in as little as half an hour. The 2-7m depths of Esperance Bay have fished well for squid too. While the wilder swell and westerly wind is decreasing over the weekend into a north-westerly, it will still be a tad rough out wide for the next couple of days so most boaties will remain closer to shore if heading out.

Shore-based

Hordes of salmon about the place doesn’t seem like a bad problem to have, but the numbers are so thick that locals are having to work hard to land other species. Every beach along Great Ocean Drive is almost guaranteed to produce salmon, some around 6kg, but the real hotspots have been the second carpark at Fourth Beach, where a school has been sitting there for the past fortnight, the rocks at Observatory Point and the 10-Mile lagoon. The 11-Mile and 14-Mile beaches produced heaps of salmon too, but persistent anglers who manage to get past them have been rewarded with skippy up to 2.5kg. It’s been easier to escape the salmon by heading east where Dunns Beach saw gummy sharks and mulloway. Tagon Beach had gummy sharks as well. Twilight Beach has fished well for sand whiting but anglers are advised to use heavier line to avoid being busted off by salmon snaring whiting baits. Solid King George whiting have been caught at Bandy Creek Boat Harbour, while high tides have brought big flathead in close at Wylie Bay. Afternoons at the Town Jetty haver produced loads of squid with some anglers bagging out on them quickly. The water has been a tad murky, so bright jigs in green, orange and pink have worked best. The Chase The Kraken squid competition is still open for entries and the prize pool is now more than $1000, with plenty of time left to go to land a beauty before it wraps up on August 16. Herring and garfish have also been caught from the Town Jetty, while Taylor Street Jetty has fished well for skippy. Big thanks to the pros from Southern Sports and Tackle for their tips as always!

As many of you are aware, concerns are mounting over beach driving bans and dog exclusions in the proposed south coast marine park. Being able to drive on the beach to your favourite fishing spot with your four-legged friend is what makes living on the south coast so great, and this experience needs to be protected.

Great Southern catches

We've seen some cracking catches/snaps of pink snapper over the years but this one is right up there from @wadefennell_fishing, with this pinkie landed via jigging approaching the magical one metre mark near Albany.

Boats

Last Friday and Saturday offered glamourous conditions and many boats headed out to the Continental Shelf, returning with bass groper and hapuka. On the coral it was harder for some crews but many were rewarded with pink snapper, queenfish, dhufish and breaksea cod. At Vancouver Reef sea sweep were about in big numbers. In King George Sound squid are still taking jigs in the clearer water and King George whiting catches have been reasonable, although the size is a little down. Also in the sound, herring and sand whiting have been easy to bring around with a bit of burley. Fishers braving the high winds and swell will certainly be staying in close, with the rougher conditions expected to stick around all week unfortunately.

Shore-based

Beaches in many locations have been carved up by recent big swells but when conditions allowed it, good skippy have been caught around Cheynes Beach. Elsewhere the odd salmon is about and getting a feed of herring has been easy. The Town Marina has fished well for small King George whiting and squid when the water is clear, plus it has held plenty of bread-and-butter species including bream, herring, small skippy and yellowtail. Squid have also been worth a go at Emu Point, which has offered whiting, herring, skippy and bream. The sand holes in Frenchman Bay are worth a shot for sand whiting and the odd flathead. Bream fishing in the King and Kalgan rivers continues to be hard work because of the dirty water and strong currents, but a few small bream and soapy mulloway have been caught. With Wilson Inlet now open to the ocean the high tides have brought in quality fish to the Prawn Rock Channel, including pink snapper, big flathead and King George whiting. Big thanks to the crew from Trailblazers in Albany for their tips!

South West catches

Drone fishing in our South-West doesn't get much better than this, with Finn Parr @finns_fishing_adventures and his crew landing some solid pink snapper and dhufish from a remote beach. Photo courtesy of @compleatanglernedlands.

Boats

Big swells and strong winds have kept most boats on trailers but the sheltered waters of Geographe Bay have proved a haven for dinghy anglers, who have done well on King George whiting, squid and the odd pink snapper. There has also been a report of a surprise dhufish capture from a dinghy there with the dhuie nudging an impressive 15kg. Bigger boats managed to find the odd weather window south of Bunbury and have found dhufish on lumps in depths as little as 8-12m. Pink snapper have been in even closer for boaties that have managed to anchor up in the tough conditions and attract them in with burley. Over the next week Saturday is looking best, with the swell hanging around the metre mark and winds around the 12 knot mark. The rest of the week is posing stronger westerly winds.

Shore-based

Pink snapper are still the main game around Bunbury, and Mindalong Beach has been the hot spot with local snapper legend Jake Atkinson landing some awesome pinkies there. Pink snapper have also been about closer to town with Belvedere, Buffalo and Back beaches all producing fish. South of Bunbury, Forrest and Peppermint beaches have been holding good pinkies as has Preston Beach north of town, where the odd salmon has been among the snapper bycatch. Trudy Morehouse, better known as the South West’s squid queen @squidqueen.wa, showed she is no slouch on the pink snapper either when she landed a 93cm specimen using fresh squid off the beach on Tuesday evening. Herring remain in almost plague proportions right along the South West coast and have been one of the go-to snapper baits. At Busselton Jetty good pinkies continue to come over the railings, along with a few mulloway, while herring and squid are abundant there as well. On the Outer Harbour rock walls and at the Bunbury Cut herring and small King George whiting have been caught. Bream and soapy mulloway are in the Collie River but with strong freshwater flows and dirty water, finding them has not always been easy. Kudos to the crew from Whitey's Tackle for their tips!

Freshwater

While the cold weather isn't everyone's cup of tea, the trout and redfin catches have been splendid over the past couple of weeks, with rainbow, brown and redfin numbers all taking healthy spikes with the cooler temperatures and rainfall. Photo courtesy of @luke_latty.

Redfin perch fishing has been going well with good fish coming from creeks flowing into Wellington and Glen Mervyn dams, with redfin perch fishing also good in the Collie and Preston rivers. Natural-coloured soft plastics and hard-bodies have been the go-to lures for the reddies. Rainbow trout are in reasonable numbers in both these rivers too, although the size is nothing special. Closer to Perth, Waroona and Harvey dams have fished well for redfin in the past week but sizes have been down. Trout fishing has been decent down Pemberton way with fly-fishers targeting the dams, while anglers using small hard-bodies or soft plastics such as Halco Paddle Prawns have caught good trout at Lefroy Brook, where both browns and rainbows have been caught. If you catch any great trout or redfin, make sure you message us a snap of the catch to our Instagram page @recfishwest.

Mandurah and surrounds

Mandurah

Many fishers have been left patiently waiting for offshore conditions to improve, so most of the activity has been shore-based or confined to the estuary system, where a good run of tailor has rewarded dinghy anglers trolling lures such as Jackson Debu Nyoros or Bassday Sugapens. The tailor have mostly been the standard 35cm choppers, but a few fish landed were well over 40cm. Small King George whiting have also starting to turn up in the estuary, but boaties should be mindful of the 28cm size limit. It has also been worth rugging up for beach fishing with herring everywhere and 50cm tailor being caught on sides of town, with San Remo one of the better spots. Droners and casters are still getting pink snapper, mostly from beaches south of town which have also been producing a few salmon. Back in the estuary, land-based King George whiting chasers fishing from the Dawesville Cut’s north-eastern wall have been experiencing quite a lot of bust-offs with the culprits suspected to be juvenile salmon or skippy, while elsewhere along the Cut and beneath the Mandurah traffic bridges there have been heaps of herring, which are being caught on both baits and lures. The estuary’s dirty water has pushed bream further into the Serpentine and Murray rivers. The rain and north-westerly winds are sticking around for the rest of this week but Saturday's conditions are looking best for now. Pay a visit to the great crew from Tackle World Miami for the best tips and gear!

SECRET HARBOUR / PORT KENNEDY / ROCKINGHAM / SAFETY BAY / WARNBRO SOUND

Poor weather certainly put the kibosh on what had been a great pink snapper run for boaties around Garden Island and the Five-Fathom Bank, but if weather windows can be found on the weekend these areas should also be worth targeting for pinkies, which are usually accompanied in the burley trail by plump skippy. Windmills had also been reliable for King George whiting and sand whiting, with herring also plentiful in Warnbro and Cockburn sounds. Careful boaties should find tailor around exposed reefs such as Mewstones and Coventry if the can get out and don’t mind the chop, while big boats may be able to venture behind Garden Island which had been fishing well for dhufish. Dirty water is likely to make squidding difficult, which is bad news for kayak fishers who had been racking up excellent catches in Safety Bay. For land-based fishers, Rockingham Jetty has produced decent mulloway around 80cm which also produced herring, yellowtail, small chopper tailor and skippy, while at Palm Beach Jetty the smaller species have been around. Tailor fishing has been reasonable on the morning high tides at Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour but most fish are around 35cm, while the Ammo Jetty and Woodman Point produced herring and small skippy. Long Point had herring and the odd flathead and the Penguin Island Spit saw herring and yellowfin whiting, plus a few small King George whiting. Along the beach at Shoalwater Bay anglers fishing the deeper sections while using burley have caught small tailor, skippy and herring. Snapper chasers have had more success towards Mandurah or up around Fremantle. Saturday and early Sunday are looking best on the forecast for wetting a line for now if you don't mind a bit of rain. Big thanks to Compleat Angler Rockingham for their great tips!

Perth catches

Those braving the colder conditions over the past week have been rewarded with solid fish in the metro area, with this amberjack estimated at around 30kg caught and released by Seb Borrello @seb.borrello north-west of Perth. Commonly mistaken for Sambo's, this species will always leave you feeling like you don't need to visit the gym for a while.

Boats

The excellent pink snapper, tuna and dhufish action around Rottnest Island has been cruelled by the foul weather. The same goes for the Windmills and Three-Mile Reef which had been good for King George whiting and pink snapper, although a few boats managed to get out to the Three Mile later in the week and did well, mainly on small pink snapper and skippy. Boaties hugging the coast from South Fremantle down to Coogee have managed feeds of sand whiting, herring and skippy. While the weather is nasty, Cockburn Sound usually has nice sheltered waters with the islands and reefs reducing most of the swell, so squid captures over the patches of weed and sand have still been decent in the 4-7m depths. To check out the best squidding tips from Anglers Fishing World's Tony Thwin, watch Recfishwest's latest chat with the squid master here on YouTube! In the Swan River, soaking a live bait or a fresh fillet in Blackwall Reach or Mosman Bay could be rewarded with a big mulloway. Saturday is looking like the calmest day on the water for the boats with a decent drop in wind and swell although the north-westerly winds and slightly higher swell of 2-3m will stick around until at least Thursday.

Shore-based

Pink snapper fishing at North and South moles has been oddly quiet this week, despite what appeared to be ideal conditions. They have still been caught there however, it’s just that the pinkies are not schooling like they were in previous weeks. The northern rock walls either side of Quinns have been better for pinkies although most of them seem to have been caught by drone fishers. For smaller species such as chopper tailor, herring and skippy the moles have fished reasonably well. Both moles have also held sand whiting as have the rocks around Port Beach. Fremantle Harbour has offered herring, chopper tailor, skippy and silver bream and if scaly mackerel turn up there, mulloway are likely to be close behind them. Big winter tailor have been caught on the morning high tides at Trigg and beaches further north produced smaller tailor and herring. Herring are also plentiful at Cottesloe, Grant Street and City Beach. The lower reaches of the Swan River have produced small chopper tailor at times but bream fishing throughout the system has been decent. Excellent bream have come from the Canning River with areas of structure such as Mt Henry and Canning bridges good places to start, while in the Swan River bream have been caught from as far upstream as Guildford right down to the middle reaches around the yacht clubs. Soapy mulloway have been caught with the bream and reports of a few bigger mulloway have trickled in, with regular spots such as the Narrows, Canning Bridge and the old brewery are worth a go, especially if baitfish are schooling under the lights. Although not in their big summer numbers, flathead can be caught throughout winter, often from deep holes. A renowned spot for big winter lizards is Heirisson Island. Saturday is also looking best for land-based fishers as the stronger north-westerly winds will make casting tough. If you can handle the wind, a stronger north-westerly wind usually produces solid catches of pink snapper from the moles and Cottesloe groyne. Big thanks to Anglers Fishing World in Freo for their tips!
