Looking for Advice - Causeway Yeppoon
Heading up to the Causeway (Yeppoon QLD) this weekend (14th), anyone got any ideas on where to go, what to do? Taking 4m tinnie up, have no plans at this stage until we get there.
Any suggestions would be great, got to get away as the fishing's got to be better than the creeks and rivers around Gladstone.

hehe. causeway and fish = 0. hehehehe. well. it's preety good on the runthrough. as for fishing in a boat in the causeway WATCH THE DEPTH. it's bloody shallow in there.
i only just got my boat on sunday so i haevn't had a chance to get fishing in the back of the creeks. i'll get there real soon though.
my guess is take ya castnet find some prawns at the back creeks and throw them in as live baits under floats around the edges of mangroves. might get a jack or barra.
good luck... plz let me know how you went and where you went.. thanks.

Harcorr,
Corio Bay/Fishing & Waterpark Creek would probably be worth a look this weekend, tides arent real big so there will not be that much run up there. Put in at Corbett's Landing in Byfield and head right towards Corio Bay. This time of year you'll get jacks, barra & grunter. You will need a 4wd or vehicle with a decent clearence to get to the boat ramp as the road is pretty ordinary. Let us all know how you go.

Sorry Guys, didn't end up at Yeppoon, ended up trying out the Fitzroy, Launched the boat from the ramp in behind Australian Meatworks, went down the river, tried the rock walls along the way, no luck, got down to Pirate Point, being a virgin to the river didn't make it easy, we had no luck here and ended up heading up river, got to the road bridge and had a go here, then moved back to some of the jetties along the river bank until we got back to the boat ramp at around 8.00pm. Our whole day ended up being for 4 catfish ranging in size from 3" to 10". Any help on this river would be good, for at the moment I will not be going back. Not sure if it was normal, but the water was filthy and you could here the difference between it and clear water. I took a couple of new lures to try and when seeing how they swam beside the boat, they were out of sight in 2" of water.
On a good note, Sunday saw us out to Rat Island in the North Entrance of Gladstone Harbour and picking up a beautiful Blue Bone. Just finished having it for dinner and Oh what a feeling. If anyone can give us some pointers on the Gladstone area, or the Fitsroy, this would be good.
I know that next time I won't change my mind on the highway, maybe if I had of stuck to the original plan it might have been a better trip.
Hope other had better luck over the weekend.
Cheers
Corry

Re: Looking for Advice - Causeway Yeppoon
now isn't the time for the fitzroy. especially because they have the barrage gates open.. big no no. you have to be at the mouth of the river to catch fish.
you would have had better luck at the causeway.
