    Ningi is one of my favorite creeks in SEQ.
    I basically only fish upstream of the ramp and usually about 2km upstream around the rocks there.
    Very shallow to unpassable at low tide.

    If you park yourself near the rocks for the bottom of the tide, have a rod ready with a tiny popper for the change of tide.
    The place goes ballistic for 30 minutes with all of the fish hunting around the rocks in a feeding frenzy.
    You will lose some lures yes but the rewards are outstanding action.

    I was going to fish there this weekend but it is rained out by the forecast it seems.

    Good luck Gaz.

    Nice one Tony. Some good info there all right. I’d be wary of Dids giving you a prize though.

    Hi Didley
    I have never known it to be silted up and I have fished it on and off for 50 years, plenty of water flow in and out of the creek, access even at 200mm low tide not a problem. The next creek north of Ningi is Elimbah and its mouth has been silted up for many years, however still accessible from around half tide up, kayaks can get in anytime, next creek north is Bullock and it is difficult to get into unless the tide is well up and then you need to know what you are doing in a boat, kayaks can get in anytime, next creek north is Glasshouse, no access problems at low tide, far north as I fish in the passage.

    Hi Shagga
    Thanks for your kind words, as mangajack has said in his post, there is a lot more to Ningi Creek then people are aware of, heavily fished yes but most people fish in the wrong places, and are mostly restricted to weekends when the boat traffic shuts things right down, during May and June there is a couple of areas where large yellow fin whiting, some call them blue nose whiting, hang around for a bit of R&R after spawning, I only catch and release these big girls and catch them using a 4 inch alvey that my Dad gave me when I was 12, it is strung with 2 kilo platypus platinum and hangs off an 8 ft muscle tip rod, beautifully balanced and provides a stack of fun.

    Hi Gazza
    One more important thing mate, because you are going at high tide, make certain you definitely stick to the markers at the end of the long straight run going up the creek, just as you swing left and come back to swing right, there is a small rock bar on your left about 10mtrs wide and 30mtrs long which is completely covered at any high tide greater than 1.8mtrs, you will see it uncover during the run out, good area to fish for bream during early winter mornings, just to the side of the bar is a 5mtr deep hole at the end of a small gutter which holds good school jew to 4kg during April & May, live bait if you can get it.

    Thanks MSB, Sorry my mistake, as much as everyone was saying Ningi, I was thinking Hussy creek, up near Coochin creek. Sorry about that. Thanks for the great info.
