Ipswich’s Top Fishing Spots

Good local bass spot. Catfish and perch pop up too. Best if you like flicking a few casts around the bridge and timber.

Good all-rounder where the Brisbane and Bremer meet. You’ve got a shot at threadfin, bream, flathead and catfish. Worth trying with prawns or live bait.

More of an easy, simple fishing spot than a serious mission. Bream and catfish are the main ones to expect here, with locals also talking sharks at times.

Relaxed, easy-going spot. Locals mention catfish, small bream and little bass, so it is more about having a fun fish than chasing something huge.

One of the most versatile spots on the list. Bream, flathead, bass, catfish, mullet and garfish can all turn up. Good if you just want plenty of fishable water and a few different ways to fish it.

Bass is the big drawcard here. One of those spots people go to when they want to specifically target bass. Just keep clear of the no-fishing zones around the weirs.

Handy suburban spot with a real shot at threadfin. Bream, flathead and catfish are also in the mix, so it is worth a look even if the threadies are quiet.

More of a move-around spot than a sit-still spot. Bass gets mentioned a lot around here, with mullet also coming up. Better if you like exploring a few different pockets.

Wildcard spot for locals who do not mind a bit of awkward access. Bass is the main draw here. Not the easiest spot, but definitely one people will have opinions on.

Lower-Bremer spot with threadfin, bream, flathead and catfish all possible. Better thought of as a catch-and-release spot.

Straightforward platform spot. Bream and catfish are the safest bets here, with locals also mentioning eels and the odd shark in that stretch.
