Estuaries are definitely quiet in the winter in August, however reef and topwater are good as always. If you were looking to fish the estuary, book for summer months in February and March, where you can legally keep the barramundi's while also hooking a good amount of them

Even though the floods came through a week or two ago we still managed to hook some big fish and even catch a couple smaller ones

Give it a go even if you don’t catch a fish it’s still worth it. We went thinking we probably wouldn’t which made it such a joy when we caught fish bigger than we expected.

Really only giving this four stars because we couldn’t get to deeper water due to wind. I don’t know if this is October specific, but if you can take a look at the weather forecast and book a calmer day to have all options on the table.
