I have it on good authority that dogs can be successfully used to chum up sharks and crocs.

Crocs....at 1770:eek2:

Didn't think they were down that far south.

marlin and spanish off the headland, plenty of reds available to small boats on the close reefs (check the reef fish annual closurure dates), Plenty of jacks ect in the creeks either side of 1770, queenfish, flathead ect in the eustaries.
Good barra up the road at awonga. Been travel from tassie every year for the last half dozen years for my annual dose of fishing realality. Gotta love the place.

It's half way between Gladstone & Bundaberg (head towards the coast from Miriam Vale).

Nice place but not sure about dogs though. However, I'm positive you'll get a reply from someone more local than us:D.

Better drive is up through Lowmead.

I go up in october normally
Spanish and marlin just starting at the headland, also plenty of tuna in close.
water warming in the creeks for barra and jacks
we work our dates around the reef fish closure which is leading up to and after the full moon (dont quote me on this though cause I am not 100% on it)
houses can be rented for a week from about $650 a week in the off tourist season, prices only go up from there. To find rented house ring any of the realisate agents.
Best fishing method I have seen up there is to use livies, plenty of spots to catch them- ie near the boat ramp.
We were catching spanish with livies off the headland one day in a 12 foot tinnie - trolled slowly
cheers

ps
are you land based or boat
Flat rock is another easy spot to fish for all sort of surprises
oh the memories
