Fishing in the river near Townsville, ca. 1900

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    It’s no secret that Australia has some of the best fishing spots in the world. Townsville is a coastal city located in northeastern Queensland. It boasts a vast array of beautiful and lush surroundings that delight the senses. With tropical islands and lush rainforests, Townsville is a fantastic place to explore. 1. North Cardinal North Cardinal is one of the most overlooked fishing spots just outside of Townsville. It’s an offshore fishing location that requires a boat to get to. North Cardinal is approximately 10nm from the Townsville harbor boat ramp. Being the only obvious structure in the immediate area, the marker pylon can attract massive shoals of fish, including herring and scad. Plan for a full day out on the water to really make the most of this spot. 2. Alligator Creek Fishing Spot Located just south of Townsville, Alligator Creek is a fantastic spot to go fishing in the warmer months. The hotter temperatures bring in plenty of fish to make it worth a day trip. Alligator Creek is often muddy so bright and easy-to-see lures work best here. Some of the more prolific fish found here include Barramundi, Dusky flathead, Grunter, Mangrove Jack, and southern black bream. 3. Ross River Flowing right through the heart of Townsville, the Ross River is a must-visit fishing location. Suitable for both land and boat fishing, Ross River is the perfect place to go if you’re looking to catch some Barramundi. Look for the rock walls and jetty at the mouth of the river. They provide some fantastic places to cast your lures for all types of fish. You can even throw your lines over several of the bridges that span the river’s length. 4. Crocodile Creek A firm favorite among Townsville locals, Crocodile Creek can be found just south of Alligator Creek. Catching the right tides here is key to hauling in a good catch so be sure to check these before you leave. With everything from deeper holes, open flats, a deep bottom, and good structure to the creek, you’re sure to have a good day fishing. Remember that it’s called Crocodile Creek for a reason; always fish with a clear view of the water in front of you. Source: www.oneadventure.com.au/best-fishing-spots-townsville/

    His waistcoat is remarkably inoffensive for the 1890s. Cover illustrations of Three Men in a Boat are usually not too far off, typically depicting Harris in an orange and yellow stripy blazer of considerable foulness.

    derangedlemur And of course the title also includes "... not to mention the dog"! I think there's a dog here, or else the hairiest rock ever!
