Where to go fishing near North of Karumba?

• Norman River Channel Markers Channel markers and the sandbar at the mouth of Norman River hold snapper, grunter and jewfish. Spanish mackerel and jewfish can be found on the furthest markers from the shore.
• Karumba Point Work the rising tide from the beach for a good catch of trevally, grunter, barramundi, and even salmon. The mangrove line outside the Norman River mouth (opposite the boat ramp) has been known as great salmon fishing on the high tide. Soft plastics, lures and live baits all work well, especially poppers around the sunrise or sunset.
• Norman River Mouth Boat based fishing around the mouth of the Norman River - troll the channel edges at the deep bend for barramundi, and use bait for grunter and salmon.
• Norman River Bank Barramundi, jewfish and salmon are just a few that can be found along the bank of the picnic area, just past the boat ramp inside the river mouth. The deep hole across from the picnic area, and rocks to the left are a good place to start.
• Glenore Crossing Weir Land based fishing only permitted at the Glenore Crossing Weir, but worth a fish after flooding.
• Baffle Island Group This small island group is great for a variety of estuary species including salmon, barramundi, bream, grunter and mud crabs. The section of the river closest to Normanton is generally better for barramundi when there is plenty of fresh water flowing- during and just after the wet season. This section of the Norman River is influenced by the tide, but the water is hardly as salty as you may think. Sandbars line the east side of the river on the Normanton side of the island groups. During the dry season, the salt water pushes back up the river, and mud crabs, bream, grunter, and salmon become more common.  
• Brannigan Creek Mouth Brannigan Creek is the closest major creek North of Karumba. Queenfish, trevally and grunter linger on both edges of channel mouth. Salmon work the edge of the flats on the outer south side of the Brannigan Creek mouth.
• Accident Inlet Mouth Work the South side mouth of Accident Inlet to score some grunter, trevally, queenfish, and salmon. Also try heading into the inlet, just before the first bend on the Northern bank, for barramundi and salmon.
• Accident Inlet Salmon Hotspot At the first creek mouth on the North bank of Accident Inlet you will find salmon. They also linger along the bend heading upstream. When fishing for salmon, try pilchard or garfish rigs or a metal lure as it has an exceptional casting range and mimics a fleeting baitfish. Poppers that are worked across the surface, and diving hard bodies, both cast and trolled are also a good bet for hooking salmon.
• Accident Inlet Drains The mouths of drains around this bend are great fishing for barramundi on the outgoing tide.
• Smithburne River Mangroves The mangrove edge here is home to most species, in particular the Blue Salmon. The best time is around high tide. Trolling north along the channel edges, towards the Smithburne River mouth, you will find grunter.
• Brannigan Creek Upstream Fish upstream drains on a runout tide for barramundi. Also worth dropping a line at the second creek mouth on north bank of Brannigan Creek.
