Specialist Freshwater Eel Fishing near Brisbane.

This is a new and untried area of angling in Australia as most people try to avoid catching them .We have even caught them on lures [quite frequently] . These eels seem to travel up in the water in search of food and like all eels they fight unbelievably hard. The eels in the waters we fish probably go to ten kilos plus and according to our guide they are easy to catch using bait. This is a new area for us but our guide assures us that huge eels are present in large numbers and he hasn’t let us down yet! There is virtually no angling activity for these fish so we have very few reports and only one decent photograph that shows a 160cm fish.
The area we fish is the same water as for the Bass fishing so the same accommodation and transfers apply.
Many of the local rivers have substantial elver runs so a steady natural restocking of the area obviously takes place. A pioneering expedition would, in our opinion, produce some good to exceptional results!
