Key fishing locations are defined by underwater structure. The edges of Madeleine Shoals and other shoal systems provide shallow-water reef habitat. Searipple Passage and Flying Foam Passage are deeper channels where pelagic species and larger reef predators can be found moving with the currents. The Butcher Inlet area offers more sheltered, inshore structure with mangrove fringes and sand flats. The Honeymoon Cove area within Nickol Bay is another inshore spot for targeting species that prefer calmer waters.
