Daly River Info

Post by barragod1 »

Hi Iam travelling up from Brisbane and want to go fishing at the daly river mouth. I have a 5m boat. I need to know where you launch your boat, any rock bars / sandbars / a map of the river with a guideline of where to go would be bl..dy awesome. Just any general points or names of different parts of the river. Cheers

The Best place to Launch is Woolianna Boat Ramp, which is near the Daly River Township. (The Turnoff, is about 10 Kms, before you get to Daly River Township)
The Mouth is about 90 Kms Down Stream, with Rockbars and Sandbars to be wary off.
I am not sure, if I would head down that far, by Myself, without another Boat.
Locals do it, but usually there is more than 1 Boat load.

As Goldfish said, get the latest Fish Finder Mag.

You Can get a permit for channel point reserve camp grounds.
Drive and Launch there from the boat ramp.
It's about 20 klms or so to the Mouth of the daly.
I think the ramp is usable above about 4 Meters of tide

When you say Wooliana, are you talking about the ramp at the Wooliana caravan park or the public ramp next to the van park? The ramp at Wooliana van park is a shocker, very narrow and has a bend ½ way down.

The only public ramp is next to Wooliana van park.

I reckon the best ramp is at Banyan Farm but, unless you stay at the Farm then you have to pay to use it

another vote for the FF mag

Sorry, The Public Boat Ramp, which is a Couple of Klms past Woolianna Caravan Park.
Woolianna Caravan Park does not like people using his Ramp, at any time.

Certainly Banyan Boat Ramp looks Good, but only if you stat there. From what I believe, they do not like non Stayers using their Ramp either. (Can't blame them)
