This is a water-colourized picture of myself with ABU 6500 CT Mag Elite and a nice little Grunter about a kilogram. Good fighters and also good eating. See if you can find this large estuary on the coast east of Rockhampton and south of the boat harbour.

 I live in Yeppoon Central Queensland AUSTRALIA.

My main fishing area is the Capricorn Coast, so named as we live on the Tropic of Capricorn. (approx 153E 23S)

My overall Capricorn location maps are here but I use the Byfield and Gladstone area maps.

They show all the zonings for Marine Parks permissible fishing.

A great local tackle-shop with excellent local knowledge and enthusiastic owner/staff can be found here..

Our main launching spot is the Rosslyn Bay Marina which has two launching ramps capable of 4 boats each.

At extreme low tides, depth at the bottom of the ramp, can be a challenge for boats larger than 6m.

It has Coast Guard facilities, with an active Supporter's Club charging $66 pa for free tows home should they be needed.

It offers  24 hr service over the weekends.

This is the extreme southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and the Keppel Island group named by Captain Cook on his exploratory journey through this area in 1770, and is my mainstay for saltwater fishing.

A nicely detailed map of Great Keppel Island is here.

The mighty Fitzroy River, near Rockhampton, with the second largest catchment of any river in Australia, provides good crabbing (for Queensland Mudcrab) and fishing (for Barramundi) are some of the piscatorial attractions for locals and tourists alike.
