Curtis Island

There is a range of fishing opportunities on Curtis Island, including estuarine, reef, and rock fishing.

The scattering of rock and reef outcrops around the Island is a fisherman’s paradise, with many species in close proximity. The southern end of Curtis Island, known as South End, is a fishing hotspot with many reef species residing and frequenting the coral and rocks that litter the coastline from Rundle Island to Cape Capricorn.  This area is home to Coral Trout, Nannygai and huge Spanish Mackerel. Yellowpatch and Keppel Creek, both creek systems at the Northern end of Curtis Island, are home to large Flathead, Barra, Whiting, Mangrove Jack, and the sought-after Mud Crab.

Access to these inshore and offshore islands can be obtained through Curtis Ferry Services which offers regular services to Curtis and Facing Island – including vehicular transport plus chartered services and supply to outer islands.
