queensland Fishing In The Gladstone Region

[Slippery_gypsy]

First of all Merry Christmas to all. So I'm up in gladstone until the 2nd of Jan. And I brought up the rods to catch some fish... The problem is I've landed 1 small catfish in 3 days of casting I have NO boat. So there is my first issue and I'm not paying 300 or so a head for a charter. I've tried in gladstone itself and no bueno. I drove down to 1770 and fished off the catwalk and it has been blowing an absolute gale put this way of late so that was also a bust. I've been told to try out the hot water at the power station but it must be shut for Xmas or something as I've been 3 times and no hot water.... I have never done and creek or river fishing and don't really know the first thing about lure fishing.... I've spoken to the local tackle stores and they haven't given me much I haven't tried... So I come here in the hope that someone could give me some pointers. Maybe a secret pier or good rock fishing somewhere. I don't mind a bit of a drive.

 

Here's a picture of the little fella with his big catch

Looks like Gladstone is really turning it on for you..... I have only ever driven through that area but it did look fishy.  You need to find a local who can unlock the secrets for you. Good luck.

Nice one mate. I have a few mates that go out to the reef from gladstone and clean up. I hope you had a great trip. 

Did you catch any others ?
