When you think of fishing for Australian bass most people picture images of clear freshwater areas filled with snags and lily pads. While those areas are fantastic places to fish, especially in the spring an summer, the lower tidal areas which take in a much larger volume of water, also hold a lot of fish if you know when and how to find them.
The Australian bass is found in south-eastern coastal rivers from the Mary River in southern Queensland to Gippsland Lakes in Victoria. Although bass are very at home in clear fresh stretches of water every year if the season allows, they gather and make the journey downriver to spawn.
My understanding is bass seek a salinity level which allows neutral buoyancy for their eggs. This helps
