Submitted by foulhooked on Fri, 2024-11-29 08:48
Gday, looking for a trip in dec just before chrissy with a tinny.
Thinking of launch at the Donnelly Boat Landing and head out to the river mouth and camp for two nights.
Has anyone had experience with this trip in how long it takes to get to river mouth? What’s the river and beach fishing is like? Will we have any issues in dec with the water level?
Cheers any advice apreciated.

check out a few Youtube
check out a few Youtube videos. Redfin near the ramp and bream near the mouth. Water levels for a tinny will be fine.

II Miles down from the landing to the mouth if I remember properly, been over 40 years since I have been down there. Father helped uncle build a shack down there when I was in school and we'd spend holidays there.
A lot depends on if the mouth has barred up or broken through with water levels.
Look for deep holes on the beach as to where to fish, black bream in the river and herring and possible skippy off the beach
