Records collected within a few miles name Australian longfinned eel, barramundi, flathead grey mullet, mozambique tilapia and banded grunter.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Twilight gilds Duckpond Environmental Reserve covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. Barramundi and estuary fish want hard-bodied lures and soft plastics worked around snags and drains. Local rules can differ across the regional boundary, so check where you stand. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Yeppon Yeppon Lagoon is 3.1 km distant. Ask locally about Duckport Lagoon if anything is unclear.
