Field notes

Tidal pool above the Fitzroy Barrage near Rockhampton, with the gauging station structure providing snag and flow. Big barramundi stack up below the barrage on the run-out; threadfin salmon and grunter work the deeper holes. Closed season for barra applies - check current dates.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
