Personally I wouldn't go that far but at times it does turn on some hot fishing. In the summer months up near the river mouth is a good spot for big flathead and the occasional jew. Closer to Scotts any of the holes and gutters are worth a toss for tailor, bream and dart. Just follow your nose and you can't miss. Northern bluefin tuna can sometimes be seen cruising in close and at times blowing out showers of garfish as they feed.
Estuary specialists are well catered for.
There is a ramp, park and toilet facilities at Warrell Creek on the site of the old weir. This area is legendary for big dusky flathead in the summer months. Quality whiting and bream are also caught in this area. Caution should be exercised with the run out tide. Approximately ten years ago a family lost their lives when the motor wouldn't start.
