Mckennas Lagoon Fishing in Carrathool, New South Wales

• Overview

  Mckennas Lagoon is listed under Carrathool, New South Wales. Height above sea level is 104 metres. It runs to roughly 66 hectares — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The nearest town is Darlington Point, 48 km away. Further out sit Hanwood (50 km) and Griffith (52 km). No boundary runs near, so the local rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Mckennas Lagoon

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. The mouth fishes hardest when the run is at its strongest. Oyster and old piling give the only hard structure in sight. Nearby survey and observation records mention Murray cod, common carp, golden perch and goldfish. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Mckennas Lagoon rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 9°C to 25°C. The year never really closes; it just gets uncomfortable in summer. Spring, September into November, and autumn, March into May, are the strong stretches. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. Expect Mckennas Lagoon to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Carp respond to sweetcorn or boilies fished patiently on the bottom near feeding areas. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Warweebundimumbie Lagoon sits 5 km off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Mckennas Lagoon.
