Wind, wind and more wind was the story in Exmouth this past week. For those with larger boats or for the smarter skipper reading the ever changing winds, fish were on the bite. Deeper waters offshore have still been producing good numbers of billfish and sailfish in the gulf have been a popular choice for [...]

Wow, how strong have those southerlies been this last week? Through the night the gusts have exceeded 30knots and thankfully mid-morning to mid-afternoon it has been calming off in the gulf. Some keen anglers have taken advantage of the reprieve and snuck out from the marina or Bundegi for a quick fish. Large squid have [...]

The Betta Billfish Bonanza was another great success for the Exmouth Game Fishing Club. There were over 100 anglers and 23 teams that included 9 junior anglers for the tag and release competition.  Day one of the competition was a little breezy with strong southerly winds whipping up the west side of the cape. However, [...]

Although the weather has been a little unpredictable, many anglers are still reporting good fishing with a wide variety of species being landed. The gulf has been producing large numbers of both shark and Spanish mackerel and fish of up to 25kg have been landed 300m from the marina rock wall. Bait schools are starting [...]

The billfish are starting to show up in better (pardon the pun!) numbers this last week and all in time for the upcoming Betta Billfish Bonanza. Whether it is sails in the gulf, or marlin off the west side, it will be an interesting comp this year with the Exmouth Game Fishing Club hoping there [...]

It’s definitely heating up towards summer now and many of the winter locals have retreated south as the days reach the high 30’s.  Lucky for anglers, fishing is good every month of the year and there are always options for the keen angler.  Good schools of bait are starting to move in to the gulf [...]

The school holidays in October are a last burst for the town before the quiet time of hot summer kicks in.  During this time in the past the weather has been favourable, however this year the first week is looking rather ominous with clouds and even some rain, which is quite unusual for this time [...]

This week’s fishing has been hampered for the most part by the strong southerly winds and solid swell which arrived just before the weekend. The winds are a sure sign of the change of seasons but the swell should hopefully become less consistent over the coming months.
For those in the bigger boats able to cope [...]

The water temperatures have been climbing as we head towards summer, although the strong southerly winds have had some days start with a chill. The fishing this last week has been on and off with some reports of great catches and others of none. 
The billfish scene has continued to increase as people head out in [...]

We all knew it had to happen at some stage: the strong spring winds are here. There has been some reprieve in the afternoons, however the mornings are a good time to sleep-in and slowly get ready to go out! A few of the ‘winter residents’ have already started to head south now, as the [...]
