Bream: Moving into estuaries and rivers as waters cool Mullet: Schooling in large numbers in coastal areas Snapper: Still present in coastal waters, albeit in lesser numbers than summer Flathead: Active in estuaries and shallow coastal waters Salmon: Roaming coastal areas, particularly after rainfall Trout: More active in cooler rivers and streams

Focus on estuary mouths, river banks, and rocky coastlines for Bream and Mullet Use small lures or baits for Flathead in shallow waters Be prepared for Salmon with metal lures or small baitfish-pattern lures Fish dusk and dawn for optimal results

Target Snapper in shallower waters (10-20 meters) with squid or pilchard bait Look for Flathead in sandy, weedy areas of estuaries and bays Trolling for Salmon can be effective, especially near baitfish schools Keep an eye on your sounder for schooling fish

Gear: + Medium to light action rods for most species + Appropriate lures (e.g., soft plastics for Flathead, metal for Salmon) + Check your tackle for wear and tear after summer use Clothing: + Layers for changing temperatures (fleece, waterproof jacket) + Warm hat and gloves for early mornings and evenings + Sturdy, waterproof footwear Food and Drink: + Pack warm, energy-rich meals (e.g., soups, sandwiches) + Stay hydrated with water and consider hot beverages for colder moments + Don't forget sunscreen for those clearer autumn days
