26°42'30.21" S, 153°7'23.84" E

The water levels in the lake are controlled by a weir, once fish are in the lake they are possibly there forever. The lake is a good land spot for casting small lures at the jetties for Bream. A finesse approach with lightly weighted soft plastics or small suspending hardbody lures is the key to success on Bream. The odd Flathead, Trevally and Mangrove jack are also caught throughout the lake.
