Fishing
Keen
fishermen flock to the Proserpine River particularly in
the warmer months when the Barramundi are around. October
is a great time for Barra fishing. The weather is warmer and
for the fishermen it is their last chance to catch a Barra
before the barra season closes at the end of October.
It's not just the Barra that the fishermen chase. King and
Blue Salmon, whiting, grunter, flathead, and bream are caught
in abundance.
Fish frames
are brought to the kiosk for freezing and given away as crab
bait so pack the crab pots. A crab cooker has been installed
at the fish cleaning area so you can cook your crabs while
washing down the boat.
Prawns
can often be caught straight off the beach.
The
Proserpine River is accessible by a boat ramp located 5kms
from Conway Beach Tourist Park.
An
area is provided for fish cleaning, crab cooking and boat
washing. |
