Broome fishing report
So decided to stay in Broome for the holidays. For the first week my wife's brothers were here and we went camping at Barn Hill. Brought the tinny along. Was spring tides and the swell was up. After setting up camp we went to the beach and straight away i regretted not bringing the thrownet. Had a school of fish the size of a standard backyard cruise past to the left of the beach then once they passed the point they flew back past to the right. Got charged by queenfish, school sharks and more pelagics that I couldn't ID. So we all chased them along the beach and every so often jump in. The fish were so thick they swam right into you. Great start to the camping trip. Fishing was poor even though I did all the small things right. We managed to get a big coral trout that was 60cm+ and made for a tasty lunch. Gave half of it away and after that everyone in the camp was asking where to go fishing.
The next weekend my wife got her first cobia 700 m from the shore in Broome. That day I got my first frigate tuna.
Bagged out on mudcrabs today.
Fair to say its been fun.
Coming to Perth on Tuesdayday the 13th October if someone takes me out for pinkies I'll return the favour up in Broome with crabs and barra
Down the Line
