Low tide in Cape Hillsborough often reveals many overlooked land-based fishing spots for visiting anglers. This fishing adventure takes advantage of the low tide and shows you some of Cape Hillsborough’s best tourist attractions. If you decide to take this route and camp at Smalleys Beach, definitely head to Kangaroos Beach to watch the roos feed at the water’s edge at sunrise. However, all the action starts once the tide is at its lowest, that’s when your fishing adventure really begins! Get ready to venture around the headlands of Cape Hillsborough and over to Wedge Island where you can fish for mangrove jack, barramundi, whiting and a variety of other fish species. However, most of this trail requires you to walk, so get your tackle bag ready and lace your boots up nice and tight. Don’t worry - once the fish start to bite, it’ll all be worth the walk. Please note: you are not guaranteed to catch a fish following this trail alone. Great fishermen know that you should also do your own research beforehand. Mark the low tides in your tide book and get ready for your intense land-based fishing adventure!...
