Cal 480 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 G"day big fish,a good spot for them is the hot water outlet at Torrens Island.They can and do appear all over the place but in general they are very common there.A tip when using them this time of year if you get them from the hot Water outlet is when you get them to your fishing spot,is put them in your bucket ect and then pour half water from your spot in it.The reason is the HWO is very warm water,and if you put them straight out or into other spots the water is way colder and they shock a bit and arent very lively.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest AC Hardfronts Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Gee all those spots you have mentioned i usually have no worries getting shitties..Only other spot i can think of it the North Haven boat ramp.. off to the left the sand Flats.. Cast a bait out there and ya could find some.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
