Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River (Tunuba) is looking for a new king and it could be you.
As the largest river system on the eastern seaboard of Australia, Rockhampton’s Fitzroy River (Tunuba) is well known for being a fly in, check in and boat out in under an hour fishing destination, with anglers chasing metre plus fish in the heart of the city.
Rockhampton may be best known as the Barra Capital but the Fitzroy River (Tunuba) is also home to monster hard-fighting king threadfin, making Rockhampton the perfect destination for keen anglers to get in on the region’s richest competition, Fishing The Fitzroy’s $10K Thready.
Open to anglers of all skill levels, this annual competition runs during Rockhampton’s Barramundi closed season between 1 November 2022 and 31 January 2023, with a $10,000 cash prize up for grabs to the first person to catch a tagged king threadfin in the Fitzroy River system.
No boat? No worries! If you do not have a boat, Rockhampton has a number of great fishing charters and dry boat hire options to get visitors out on the water for fully catered half and full day tours. Alternatively, fish the Fitzroy from one of the many land-based fishing platforms around the region.
