Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can give me some advice about fishing in Bowen. I'm going to be visiting for a couple of weeks In October.
Does anyone know any good land based spots for casting some poppers or ballooning/sliding out a live bait? Is there much out there from shore that'll take bigger baits/lures?
Also, my friend has a tiny little 4hp tinnie that he uses for mudcrabbing that I can use so I guess if we have some settled weather if there is any reef close to shore to try trolling with lures or casting poppers if we could get to that would be good to know!
Also, night fishing off the beach, is this safe/productive or are crocs too much of a worry? Haven't seen a croc for a while in the UK so not really sure what's the deal over in NQ.
Thanks for any help in advance!
