Hey Bermo
Last question First - The bass fishing can be at its best during the cooler months , with deeper schooled up fish being the main target with lures like blades , Jackalls & ice jigs.
as for the toga ...... from my understanding they do go quiet though can still be caught ( particularly on those warmer days) - spinnerbaits
may I suggest you contact Borumba fishing & scrapbooking (Imbil) - you should get some good up to date info
