    Hi there,

    Try these spots:
    Strand - Rock Pool Wall, Jetty or any of the headlands
    Ross Creek - Breakwall along Casino or Jetty next to Motor boat Club Plume St
    Ross River - Jetty 5th Ave, might be 6th, next to Police Boat, Rock wall at National Park Ramp
    Palleranda - 3 mile Creek, All along the beach, northern end yellow zone.

    I would suggest popping into 0ne of the local tackleshops. They have very good mub maps, free, and will point you in the right direction,

    Try Higgos. 7 to 7. Protackle of Tackle Warehouse

    G'day theone
    I spent quite a few weekends up at Bushland beach chasing hundreds of whiting
    No one else around for some reason
    Park in the car park of the pub and walk the sand gullies on a dropping tide then fish them all the way back in as the tide rises. Used to pump yabbies at the mouth of ross creek and take them up. Watch for sea snakes in summer - they can be quite curious
    A couple of other catches (flukes) included leatherjackets, queenfish, cod.
    You can walk for miles on a low tide - it does come in very quickly tho
    Good luck

    Barry and the Scroman give good advice. If you like sharks, rays and catfish, the beaches north of Townsville are excellent! Your best bet is to walk the beaches at low tide and mark interesting structures that might attract fish at high tide. The creek entrances should be really good once the dirt settles from the current rains.

    thanks for the tips,

    i hav tried the strand jetty, bushland beach, and a few beaches north of townsville including balgal and tummulla.

    BUt pallarenda i haven't given much of a go, and i have never fished in 3 mile there, so is there any specific spots that fire alot or is it just the whole creek.

    thanks

    Have you ever thought that the reason you were the only one there is that the locals know something you don't. ... "gators".

    I have a friend who walks his dog at Bushland Beach every morning and afternoon and has seen a few decent sized "lizards" cruising the flats.
