Noosa, Qld
There is no doubt that Noosa is one of the best holiday destinations in Australia. It has an amazing climate, it has a broad range of activities for the whole family and a very broad range of budget through to high end accommodation. Noosa is located around 150km North of Brisbane, but travelling there will take you a minimum of 2 hours on a good day. If you’re not familiar with the Bruce highway, heading North from Brisbane can become an unpredictable carpark anytime between 6 and 10 am and 3 and 7 pm on any day; so, if you’re looking to get there fast, think again. Although the destination is worth the trip, it’s best to set at least 3 hours for your trip, and anything less is a bonus.
Fishing around Noosa is good any time of year and there are so many great options for land based fishing, boat and kayak alike. In Noosa, for kayak fishing there are 2 great options. The main option is the Noosa River, and it’s a very complex system of lakes, creeks and the river, so most of this article will be about that, but the 2nd option is Laguna Bay and it’s many small reefs.
The lakes within the Noosa River include Lake Cootharaba, Lake Cooloola, Lake Cooroibah, Lake Como and Lake Weyba. Kin Kin Creek and Teewah Creek are the river’s two major tributaries.
Everywhere around, there are plenty of bream, flathead and whiting however there are many other piscatorial predators to catch. The most common sport species around the area are bass, mangrove jack, GT’s, tailor, jewfish, and for the lucky few there are the odd threadfin salmon and barramundi caught.
The Noosa River extends roughly 40km from Noosa into the country side where the water turns fresh. 6 shallow lakes join the river and are the main reason this system is such a completely diverse environment.
