About This Spot

Local knowledge & spot details

Elliott Heads River Mouth in Queensland offers anglers a prime estuary fishing experience, where the confluence of freshwater and saltwater creates a rich habitat for various species. This spot is particularly fruitful at dawn and dusk, with the incoming and run-out tides enhancing fish activity. Expect to target local favourites such as Flathead, Bream, Whiting, Mangrove Jack, Tailor, and Trevally, making it a versatile location for bait and lure fishing alike.
