Cawarral Creek is a baron waste land when it comes to fishing, the local often joke naming it the marine desert, however if you want to give it a fish its worth during the right weather and time of year.
The creek has been known to produce quality Bream, Grunter, Flathead and Whiting. The big Bream are best targeted in the cooling months around the spawning time.

Whiting can be fished for all year round but are the most abundant during the Summer months around weed beds and sand flats.
