I went to broome a couple of years ago. it was amazing.
went on a fishing charter that specialised in light tackle fishing. didn't get anything, but the missus hooked onto something huge just near the port. took about 100 yards of line and just dissapeared <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />
I highly recomend an afternoon with a 200 pound handline and some stiff gloves at the deep sea port (most guys dont use rods, they snap too easily apparently). we saw a dozen or so tuna just swim casually by while we were standing there.
and watch out for the normal charter boats. so many of them are simply downriggers bolted to the side of the boat. they go out to the reef, and you spend all afternoon dragging fish up from the depths. not my cup of tea really.
anyway. i'm definately going tonight. probably in an hour or so,
enjoy broome Jaz, its such a nice part of australia
cheers all
