Fished of the Broome jetty today from 10:20 to 13:15 with lures and bait. Zero bites. Saw one 50cm long Tom in the water and saw two small queen fish landed. Fished the end and 2/3rds of the open boardwalk (approx 160m). Hand reels needed 12-16oz sinkers to hold bottom with the tide. Used squid and mulies. Tide seemed too strong and shallow waters were too packed early on to even bother trying to catch livies. Poppers and lures with a large enough bib to dive fared best. Anything else just skimmed across the surface with the strong tide. Will try beach fishing on cable beach tomorrow north of the rocks.

Cheers tugger. Picked up some 7/0 circle hooks today and heading out to the jetty tomorrow. Bucket, Sabiki rigs and poppers all sorted. Will report back with how I go.

Hi All, Heading to Broome tomorrow (29AUG to 06SEP) so hoping for some land-based fishing tips. Disappointing to hear only 180m of the 640m of the jetty boardwalk is accessible now as I do not have access to a 4WD. Not targeting anything specific just hoping to get out for a fish. Family holiday with a young toddler so hoping to make the most of the limited time fishing I can sneak in. Good fishing spots (?): The Jetty Entrance Point Rocks near the Fishing Club Town Beach Boat Ramp Rock Groyne Gantheaum Point Rocks Cable Beach North of the Rocks Gear I’m taking: 15kg travel rod 5kg travel rod 40-pound hand reel 200-pound hand reel Hoping for any tips or pointers for any of the fishing locations such as suggested bait, recommended lures, best tides (slack water top of the tide?) etc. Thanks in advance.
