central queensland Causeway Lake

Causeway Lake getting inundated by a king tide this morning. The dude fishing hadn't caught anything yet. It started pissing down shortly after. A nice warm, wet rain. Said there were plenty of sharks in th lake after low tide yesterday which made fishing a trial.

The fellow I was speaking to said there were some huge manta rays hanging around.

The flow was incredible, I'd never seen anything like it before. I don't know how good it would have been for fishing though.

Normally just before and during (and after, when the water is still running), is good. It stirs up all the fish and bait. Try casting behind any eddies off the bridge with a lightly weighted livie. I'm surprised it wasn't more crowded, normally when I've been there and it is running through there is a bridge full of people.

Thanks Hamish. It was bucketing down so only the hardcore were fishing. Nice warm rain though.
