KARRATHA BASED FISHING QUERY???
Submitted by Fishkraehe on Thu, 2010-12-16 12:32
Hi all, I have been up here for about a year producing some good results with lure flicking?trolling etc...The one thing I am trying to find out more about is 'Locating Trippletail' within the Karratha area?
I cannot seem to find them, but found them quite easily off the Anchor bouys around Broome. Can anyone point me in a 'rough' direction of where tey may have had some luck hittin them????
Thankyou in advance!

Tripletail
They can be few and far between. It's one of those fish that are hard to target as they just aren't too prevelent in big numbers. Having lived 20 years in the Pilbara it's a fish that I havent caught that often. I have in the past caught most up in the creek areas(especially nears the mouths) and a few on the reefs close to shore.
The first Tripletail I ever caught, I looked at it, snubbed my nose and biffed it back in the water. My neighbour told me when I got home(after looking at a fish species guide)what it was and proceded to call me an idiot. To date it was the biggest tripletail I've ever caught and never managed to get a snap shot of it, thinking it was a mother-inlaw fish.
Apart from that best wishes with your endevours and hope you have some success with catching them.
Fishing isn't a sport.....it's an institution.

never caught one myself but i would have targeted the moorings in king bay, pond zero entry and around there, the moorings in east lewis and then the creeks near the mouths perhaps also the islands off cleavaville and maybe even off cossack
