Broom - End of September 2014

 G'Day All,

 

I am off to Broome the end of September and am looking for some tips on places to fish.

 

Am taking my surf rod and a lighter rod suitable for up to 5kg bait/lure play.....

 

Can anyone provide me some background info and tips on locations ?

 

I am staying across from cable beach at the Palm grove Leisure Park so am keen to walk across th road and have a beer or two surf fishing watching the sun go down.

 

Am booking a day out fishing on the reef also.

 

Happy fishing all.

 Balloons off Ganthume point, or flicking twisties either side of the high tide.

Jetty is also good apparently.

I am going up at End of August.

Thanks Swompa,

 

With the ballooning, what sort of bait would I be using ? Any specific rig and sinker size ?

 

Any experience with Willie Creek ?

 

Cheers.

Never actually done it, but

Never actually done it, but there is deep water, and I have been told by some very reliable that it works - and it makes sense too.

I have fished Crab Creek and Jacks Creek. No experience with Willie Creek, though there are a few resident Crocs as far as I believe.

I have never had luck when there are big tides, as the water stirs up, so if you are on mid/small tides, you should do OK.

Barra should have started in

Barra should have started in Barred, Willie, and Dampier creeks. They like lures especially early in the season ! Flouro green the best colours
