The reports are coming in thick this week with fishing being enjoyed by many of the holiday makers. Last Sunday, Kevin Harris from Baldivis caught the fabulous black spotted tusk fish that is pictured this week. He caught it from his 12ft tinny off Tantabiddi using a hand line. It was 76cm long and weighed an impressive 10kg.

Meanwhile Carolyn Thurston from Perth is up here with her husband, and caught a 90cm giant trevally in the waters of the gulf, out from the marina. The husband and wife were fishing in 21m of water using squid as bait, to target reef species for the table. It took quite some time to land the fish, but the pair decided to release the GT and try for some tastier species.

Robyn Schomberg, staying at Ningaloo Station, visiting from Newport Beach, has been catching a mixed bag including coronation trout and red throats. Her husband Alan caught a 1.2m spanish mackerel and some tuna.

Val and Jim Butt from Perth are up here for two weeks and have caught a 71cm rankin cod, a few chinaman cod, red emperor and spangled emperor. They have enjoyed the fresh seafood and will be taking a few fillets home after vacuum sealing them.

Wayne Baddock and Jim Nelson from Margaret River have caught a 20, 30 and 50lb wahoo through the week. They were using a blue and white 7m Halco lure and a surface pusher. They've also landed some magnificent trevally amongst the weed at the back of the reef. They have been releasing most of the fish they have been catching. They then went to the Muirons and caught and a 22lb red emperor, 15lb coral trout and hooked a sailfish. They also caught scarlet sea perch, but said the bait they were using is highly secret: it obviously works well!
