How to get tweets older than a few months?

Question

I get tweets using LINQ to Twitter 4.1.0 with a specific hashtag. But the problem I am facing is that I only get 600 tweets. I want to get tweets that are older than a few months. Can anyone suggest me how to do this?

 [List<Search> searchResultsList = new List<Search>();
        ulong lastId = 0;
        var context = new TwitterContext(auth);
        int count = 0;
        int maxNumberToFind = 1000;
        var dateFrom = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-20);

        var searchResults =
                         (from search in context.Search
                          where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
                                search.Query == Query &&
                                search.SinceID == 2016-12-11 &&                                
                                search.Count == 150 &&
                                search.ResultType == ResultType.Recent &&
                                search.IncludeEntities == true
                          select search).ToList();][1]

I would suggest looking at the documentation. It looks like you can specify the date "To", and MaxId:

Until: Tweets before this date, YYYY-MM-DD. (Line)

MaxID: return tweets before or after this identifier. (ULONG)

"" , LINQ "LastOrDefault()". , MaxID . , .

:

Count . . 100. (int)

- , .

EDIT: Joe Mayo ( LinqToTwitter) . ( : , ):

List<Search> searchResultsList = new List<Search>();
    var context = new TwitterContext(auth);
    var maxCount = 100;
    var untilDate = new DateTime(2016,12,11);

    var lastTweetInRange =
                     (from search in context.Search
                      where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
                            search.Query == Query &&                               
                            search.Count == maxCount &&
                            search.Until == untilDate &&
                            search.IncludeEntities == true
                      select search).LastOrDefault();

    var tweetsInRange = (from search in context.Search
                        where search.Type == SearchType.Search &&
                                search.Query == Query &&                               
                                search.Count == maxCount &&
                                search.MaxId == lastTweetInRange.id &&
                                search.IncludeEntities == true
                        select search).ToList();

            maxID = searchResponse.Min(status => status.StatusID) - 1;

            Debug.Assert(maxID < previousMaxID);
            previousMaxID = maxID;

            searchResponse =
