queensland Holiday Trip Help Required

Hi all,

I will be going up for 3 days fishing at Tinaroo Dam just after Easter. I will have access to a kayak with a sounder and a tinny. I've never really fished TInaroo before. I am staying on the edge of the Severin Arm and I'm planning to fishing right up Severin Creek and all the little bays. I am open to all forms of fishing (trolling, casting and live bait), but I refuse to troll around all day- only between spots. As I have a sounder on my kayak, when ever I scan a drop off or laydown, do you recommend dropping a live bait down or throwing a few vibes? I know people live bait the weed edges with a float, but would one on a paternoster in deeper water work as well? Please leave me with all your thoughts and recommendations on how to best catch impoundment barra. Thanks

Hey Jaz

Best of luck. Unfortunately I don’t know much when fishing Tinaroo, but here are some old threads which have good advice for you -

Cheers Hamish

Thanks Hamish. Appreciate it.

Just as a general comment from my experience with stocked impoundments - the (on-site/park ??) managers are usually a wealth of knowledge on their patch, so give them a call and I'm sure they will give you good advice. It's in their interest.

Thanks Ellicat. I will have a chat with them also.

I've heard they get a lot of big barra in Tinaroo with live mouth almighty under a float, fishing from the bank

Thanks Tony. I might give that a whirl at a creek mouth.
