• Where to Fish on Redfish Slough

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Tide runs this water, so time the session to the flow. Reed and marsh margins hold fish through the moving hours. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include flathead grey mullet, gizzard shad, silver mullet and Atlantic croaker. Records show what people reported, not what is stocked. The shape of Redfish Slough rewards a slow walk along one bank.

Barramundi and estuary fish want hard-bodied lures and soft plastics worked around snags and drains. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. If the gate is shut, Mustang Slough at 0.8 miles is the nearest alternative. The position on Redfish Slough is worth confirming on the day.
