Where to go fishing near Conzinc Bay?

• Nickol Bay The small river mouths and feeder creeks are all worth a cast on the outgoing tide for Threadfin Salmon, Barramundi and Flathead. On the incoming tide work the feeder creeks again and move up into the shallow creeks, work shallow diving lures around likely looking snags.
• Nickol River Nickol River is shallow but holds Mangrove Jack, Bream, Flathead, Threadfin Salmon and small pelagics. Try working and deep holes with soft plastics for Threadfin Salmon on neap tides.

Work the mangroves further upstream with hard body lures for Mangrove Jacks.
