says:Hey mate, it’ll be cold! There’s salmon around Bremer Bay all year round, the best spot to try is Fosters Beach, you’ll see the schools. Reef beach is also a good spot for Salmon and even the odd Mulloway. Get yourself some Halco Twisty metal slugs 30g. If you find some salmon just cast the metal slug out and retrieve, the salmon will smash it. Both beaches are to the west of Bremer. You could also try the flats on Bremer River for Bream, use shallow diving lures that suspend, like the Ecogear SX40LC. There are also bream around Pallinup River mouth and further upstream if you are keen on exploring. Good luck and I hope you get a few fish.
