Russell River Mouth T Junction
The waterway around the T junction is where the Russell and Mulgrave Rivers meet before opening to the sea. This junction is renowned for big queenies, and once the word is out they are on, this spot is particularly popular. The odd Trevally can be found where there’s Queenfish about.
Queenies are best caught at first and last light on rising tides, and are mostly a summer fish. Keep an eye for baitfish near the shallow flats, and you should find some. Use any fish strip baits or squid, and for lures use minnows, poppers, jigs, spoons or trolling heads. A 20kg mono leader and floating rig should do it, and large hooks are recommended.
During the cooler months the fresh water clears from the inter tidal zones, and each high tide thereafter pushes more salt water and baitfish past the T Junction and up to the nearby boat ramps of both rivers.
