Auckland creek behind the dog park in Gladstone is good for all sorts of fish, mud crabs and prawns best time for a fish is both sides of high tide as the water does disappear fairly fast leaving a bit of a walk through waist deep mud, also the sand flies can get a little wild there so take some insect repellant. The marina around the trawlers is good for some nice cod, sweetlip, coral trout and the usual bream etc with the chance of the occasional barra, pleanty of other spots around that are a little difficult to explain. I have heared Port Alma between Gladdy and Rocky is good for barra too but dont recall ever going. Go into complete angler at the Gladstone marina and ask whats on the bite and where, they are usually good for a bit of advice. Enjoy your trip
