About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Dampier Creek, nestled in Broome, WA, offers a prime estuary fishing experience that caters to both seasoned anglers and novices alike. The rich waters here are home to a variety of sought-after species, including Barramundi, Threadfin Salmon, Mangrove Jack, and Trevally. Fishing from the creek bank or shore where permitted can yield great results, especially during dawn and dusk when the fish are most active. Anglers should focus on the moving tide and low light conditions for the best chances of a catch. While the estuary provides a beautiful backdrop, it’s important to remain mindful of tide movements and wind, as these factors can significantly affect water clarity and fish behaviour. Whether you're bait fishing or trying your hand at lure fishing, Dampier Creek is a rewarding spot for those looking to reel in a memorable catch.
