Fishing in Karratha??
Submitted by jus on Mon, 2009-01-19 18:38
Hey all!
I have just received the (currently sad) news that I'll be starting full-time work in Karratha in Feb. How is the fishing up there?? What fish can you get up there?? I'm assuming the general barras, threadfin/bluenose salmon, queenies etc??
Are there many decent landbased spots?? Or if not, will anyone up there need a deckie from feb onwards? :P
Apparently I'll be on the Pluto B project with Leighton Contractors if any of you know where that is - i dont! If the fishing is good at least I'll have something to look forward to!
Hope to hear from you guys up north! See you in a bit!

Well I noticed in your
Well I noticed in your profile that you like trolling for macks and GT popping - you can do both here. There are quite a few land based spots with easy access where you can get the usual creek species, barra, threadies, black jews, mangrove jacks.
Bluewater land based is not quite so good in my oppinion but there are spots where you can spin up queenies and small trevally, good fun on light gear.
If you are serious about bluewater fishing you'll need to get out on a boat.
