Palm Creek is another small estuary system between Ingham and Townsville. It is rather isolated and from our research has little fishing pressure. Anglers can expect a system with all the features of a larger system, sand flats, mangrove lined banks, deep holes and structure.

Fishing Palm Creek anglers should take into consideration all the advice for fishing any Far North Queensland estuary system. Barramundi and Mangrove Jacks can be caught here using the right tactics and working the snags with lures suited for the current season. Soft plastic paddle tails rigged up on weedless hooks are the best bet all year round.
