Fishing Baffle Creek

A six-hour drive north of Brisbane and only a short drive north of Bundaberg, Baffle Creek is an absolute mecca for fishing enthusiasts. It is 120kms long and 2km wide (at its widest point) and suited to anglers of all ages and levels of experience. A protected habitat, you will see thriving mangrove forests and an incredible array of sea creatures, birds and land animals like kangaroos, echidnas, lizards and emus.

Now back to the fish...

The type of fish you are likely to catch is dependent on the seasons and other weather conditions such as the amount of recent rain. For example, Mangrove Jack is much easier to catch around September while Bream, Flathead and Trevally are more numerous in winter.

If you stay at Broadwater Haven, you won’t even need a boat because fishing and crabbing are available just outside your cabin door!
