Lake Cooroibah Fishing near Tewantin, Queensland

• Overview

  Lake Cooroibah lies in Noosa, Queensland. The coast is 4.5 km away. At some 5.35 sq km it is far too large to cover on foot in a day.

Further out sit Cooroibah (4.9 km) and Noosaville (6.5 km). It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Lake Cooroibah

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Time trips to the tide table rather than the clock here. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists Australian sea bream, Australian longfinned eel, shortfin eel and Australian bass. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. Lake Cooroibah gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year January sits at 25°C and July at 15°C. Fish feed through every month here. Winter here is cool and quiet, and often the most comfortable time out. Spring, September into November, fishes hardest, with autumn a close second. That shapes the year on Lake Cooroibah.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Lake Doonella is 5.3 km off. For Lake Cooroibah, the notice at the access point is the final word.
