About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Elliott Heads, located in the sunny region of Queensland, is a prime river mouth fishing spot that offers a diverse range of species for keen anglers. The estuarine environment, where the river meets the sea, is particularly fruitful at dawn and dusk, especially during the incoming and run-out tides. Here, you can target flathead, bream, whiting, mangrove jack, tailor, and trevally, making it an ideal location for both bait fishing and lure fishing enthusiasts. Anglers should be mindful of the tide movement, as it can significantly affect water clarity and fish activity. Wind can also play a role in the fishing experience, so checking conditions beforehand is advisable. Whether casting from the shore or exploring the river mouth, Elliott Heads promises an engaging fishing adventure in a stunning natural setting.
