In earlier days I used to hang up my sweetwater fishing gear through the Winter doldrums, but in recent years I've been spending some very enjoyable time fishing local estuaries in Winter - flathead, school jew on lures, bream, tailor and even the odd salmon... yesterday I went out to score a jewie on the change of the tide (day either side of full or black moon) in a pet hole (successful) - plus scored flathead and tailor (all on soft plastics) - while bouncing a soft plastic through a deep hole I got a gentle take that turned into a line scorching run,.. decent big jewie I thought - yahoo - then bang! busted! - must of been line weak spot from earlier snag encounter - so sobbing about the loss of the fish I retied (cause where there's one there's more) - and dropped it back in the hole - this time as I was bringing the lure up bang again, same line scorching run.. but it was a decent bass (~45cm) that came into sight - big belly full too - most likely eggs - quick photo and let her go... I'll look for her in the fresh in summer

Jim, without identifying the location, was that well up the estuary or well into the salt.
Cheers mate,

Fair way up the estuary John but I was catching tailor at the site and the water was more salt than brackish
