Thanks @ellicat
@dnardy Have a look at the drone photo below of the rocks on the North-East side of North Durras Beach right before Point Upright. These rocks are safe to fish from on low tide. There are three natural rock platforms, numbered #1 to #3. My favorite one is #2 as you are least likely to get snagged here and landing a fish here is not too difficult. Darker areas marked with red X have too many underwater rocks making it too easy to get snagged, avoid these areas especially if you are using sinker. Areas marked with green V have sandy bottom and are the best areas to target when using sinker. Areas marked with orange V have some underwater rocks but not too many. I don't like fishing from platform #1 as fishable area is too shallow and there is a long rocky section that you have to cross before you can land your fish. Similarly, platform #3 is just too rocky, making getting snagged too easy and landing too difficult. The area marked with red line in front of platform #2 is how far you can walk out on low tide which helps with both casting and landing hence why platform #2 is my favorite. I have caught following species here:
- Salmon
- Taylor
- Flathead
- Snapper
- Sole fish
- Banjo Shark
- Wirrah Cod
- Green Eel

People dive in this area too and they report seeing Drummer, Groper and Blackfish too. Although, I have never caught or seen those species myself in this area.

Never done any fishing in Condamine River but internet says that it is one of the largest catchments in the Murray-Darling Basin and harbours some of the best Murray Cod and Yellowbelly fishing in Queensland. So, great choice of fishing destination.
Most of the websites I have seen on internet seem to suggest using spinner baits as a good way of catching Murray Cod. Here are two examples:
https://www.fishingworld.com.au/news/report-the-condamine-cod-trail
http://www.fishingmonthly.com.au/Articles/Display/19946-Snag-a-big-cod-along-the-Condamine
However, best to have a backup method if spinner baits don't work due to some reason. Live Yabbies and Cheese works well for Murray Cod here in Canberra and I think the same should work in Queensland too.
Note however that fishing is not allowed in the following areas all year round:
Condamine River:
From 100 m upstream to 200 m downstream of Chinchilla Weir
From 100 m upstream to 200 m downstream of Loudon Weir
From 100 m upstream to 200 m downstream of Lemon Tree Weir
From 100 m upstream to 200 m downstream of Yarramalong Weir
From 100 m upstream to 200 m downstream of Cecil Plains Weir
From 27º02.24' south, 149º57.12' east (approximately 14 km upstream from the weir) to 200 m downstream of Reilly's Weir

Good luck with your fishing in Condamine River. Share photos in this forum if you catch anything.
 

As promised, here is my video report from Tathra Beach:
 
 

Here is another one, Bengello Beach near Bengello Creek. More than 0.5km walk from the parking spot at #1 and spot #2 is where you fish. Video report from this spot coming below.

Uriarra Road side when I am fishing at Molonglo River. The map below shows 5 parking spots in the area:

Thanks mate. Yeah, this is a good spot due to Bengello Creek that flows into sea here. However, you can improve results here by using burley.

Thanks mate.
The spots are all documented under the Community tab of my channel, here is the link:

Had the opportunity to return to Bengello Beach after a long time and had a good session (burley was required). See video report below:

Hello All,
Starting a new thread as the previous one was specific to Molonglo River. I have been fishing on several spots in Canberra and wanted to gather all my fishing reports in one thread. For those of you who have not seen my fishing reports from Molonglo River, please view this thread first:
 
 
More reports to come below. Stay tuned!

 

Thanks mate. My pleasure.
BTW. What I have shared so far is my Tier 2 freshwater fishing spots. I have some Tier 1 freshwater fishing spots that are much better but those will remain secret for the foreseeable future.

Here is the third video report of the series. Once again I was fishing between spots #2 and #3 as shown in the map at top of this thread:
 

Here is the second video report of the series. This time I was fishing between spots #2 and #3 as shown in the map at top of this thread:
 

As promised, here is my first fishing report video from Molonglo River in Canberra. This video report shows a 62cm Murray Cod being caught from spot #4 as shown in the map in the previous post above.
