Woods Bay is one of the most well-known fishing spots on the Noosa River, consistently drawing anglers thanks to its reliable and varied catches.

The area produces an impressive range of species, including juvenile mackerel, tuna, giant herring, cobia, multiple trevally species, and large tailor. Its reputation for year-round action makes it a heavily fished location.

Popular techniques here include poppers, sinking hard-body lures, soft plastics, and fly fishing. Early mornings and late evenings tend to be favoured, though productive sessions have also been recorded during midday hours.
