howzit gents.
From what seen in the past and heard you can get them all the way down to breeda as bush buck says.
Although they are more a warm water fish have caught them in 13c temps before. one just needs to addopt a different approach in the cooler waters.

Hi Spin , HOW do you addapt you approach in colder Eastuary condisions ?
I try to slow down retrieves and fish even lighter , any other tips ?


Will you find the fish in the same places as in 'warm' condsions ?
Any advice would be cool .

Caught a springer in the bay about 6 months ago<was fishing for grunter with cracker,and while dropping my line to bottom fish went on.Used to catch them a lot in the bay with mantis shrimp.
I'm not addicted to fishing,i can quit anytime my wife makes me.
