The ‘Golden Mile’ is a deep bank with snags on the northern side of the river mouth. This area is continually hit by wet season flood waters, and many mangrove trees and dead trees line the bank. There’s spots to tie the boat up and walk along the shoreline on the outgoing tide, and its a solid place to target snapper, grunter, barra, bream and jacks.
