The Location

Competitors are to fish within the tidal reaches of the Fitzroy Delta Net Free Zones that extend through Rockhampton Regional Council & Livingstone Shire Councils.
See below for some great fishing locations.

Fitzroy River

Named by European colonial settlers and pastoralists, Charles and William Archer, on 4 May 1853 in honour of Sir Charles Fitzroy (the Governor of the Colony of New South Wales at the time), the river is famous for housing the most diverse range of freshwater fish in Australia, including the prized Australian Barramundi. Most often utilised as a recreation spot by locals and visitors alike; the Fitzroy River offers the perfect setting for a range of activities. From sunset picnics and insta-perfect photo moments to dragon boat racing, rowing and of course fishing, this beautiful natural landscape is where we will meet you!

Coorooman Creek

The locality was named after its former railway station on the Emu Park branch line, which in turn took its name from the creek, which is believed to be an Aboriginal word coorawan meaning kangaroo. The system consists of three main separate creeks that share a common mouth. Coorooman Creek itself is the southernmost of these three creeks.

Corio Bay

This broad, shallow and mostly sandy estuary 20km north of Yeppoon is the mutual mouth of Waterpark and Fishing Creeks. The bay mostly dries at low tide, leaving shallow shifting channels, that finally run to sea past a rocky headland. Careful trip planning and navigation is required. Corio Bay has good yabbie banks and a broad spread of species, one of which Barramundi which can be found in the low-tide holes and along rocky edges, or where baitfish gather.

Port Alma

Port Alma is a coastal town, locality and port in the Rockhampton Region and is 60 kilometres from the town Rockhampton, at the south end of the Fitzroy Delta. The town was named by hydrographer, Commander J. Jeffrey of HM Colonial Schooner Pearl, in 1864 after a battle site of the Crimean War. Launch your boat at the Port Alma boat ramp and enter a diverse fish habitat at the Fitzroy River delta. Port Alma, is quite a big system with thousands of likely places to catch a Barramundi or Threadfin Salmon.
