Best Tide State to Fish Burnett River Town Reach (Bundaberg)

A big high tide pushes clean water up from the mouth and brings the pelagics with it; the bottom of a big low can leave the edges muddy and slow. After heavy rain in the catchment the river runs brown and fast and the fishing shuts down until it clears.
