About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Nestled in Burnett Heads, Queensland, this estuary spot is a hidden gem for those keen on a productive fishing experience. Anglers often set up along the rock wall or shore, enjoying the rich environment that attracts a variety of species. Expect to target bream, flathead, grunter, trevally, mackerel, and tailor, especially during the early morning or late evening.
