Townsville

Townsville is a tropical fishing paradise, offering world-class estuary, reef, and offshore fishing in the heart of North Queensland. The Bohle and Ross Rivers, as well as nearby creeks, are prime spots for barramundi, mangrove jack, and threadfin salmon, while the flats and sandbars hold queenfish and trevally. Land-based anglers can fish from The Strand Jetty, breakwalls, and beaches, targeting bream, flathead, and whiting.

Offshore, the Great Barrier Reef and Magnetic Island provide incredible opportunities for coral trout, red emperor, Spanish mackerel, and giant trevally. For big-game anglers, the deeper waters hold sailfish, marlin, and tuna, making Townsville a must-visit destination for anyone chasing serious sportfishing action.
