[emu_park_fisher]

hi im only 17 but i love to fish, last weekend i did some beach fishing down at the emu park and yeppoon region, anyways i wanted to see if i could catch anything in rocky?
If any one knows of some good spots to catch some fish in Rockhampton can ya please tell me where a good spot is?

not much help for rocky, but i know they catch fish at the wier at yeppon and i have personally caught (busted off) by some whoppers at the northern most headland at keppel if you wanna do a trip over there it may be worth ur while, ive seen parrot caught off there and seen all manner of reefies while diving off the headlands including coral trout, footballer trout etc.

MAte, youve picked the wrong time to start fishing in Rocky, with the barra closed season now in force land based fishing in Rocky is practically non-existant in my opinion unless you are chasing Barra (or catfish). Anywhere between the 2 bridges in the city is always a good chance of a barra. If you do have access to a tinnie then launch at the Nerimbera boat ramp and head down river at low tide and you will find all sorts of structure to make a mental note of so you can come back and fish that same structure on high water. GOOD LUCK

try the sand jetty on the south side of town. Practically anywhere in the town reach or the Nerimbera reach you will catch fish if you have fresh prawn caught in the river.
At Emu Park try the rocks at Zilzie Point. The northern side of Voss's rocks where the old fish trap was on a rising tide. Walk halfway along the beach towards Rita Marda. There is a good patch of rock you can walk out on low tide. Also the rocks on Rita Marda point.
