48cm Swan Tailor

Gday guys,

I went out for a tailor bash with Ben and Chad yesterday, It was quite a slow day from 11ish-3ish we did not get a touch and had a brief fish for flatties with bait.  Bens gf is pregnant and was actually due yesterday so he skivved off for a few hours fishing but had to be back early.  So on the way taking Ben back to his car we finally got a hit and lost the first tailor by the side of the boat.  After we dropped Ben off we were soon headed back to the spot where we had hooked up near the green marker on Pt Walter.  From there on it was about one and a half hours of tailor madness where we caught 6 and dropped a couple before they went off the bite.  One of the tailor just took line off like no tomorrow with Chaddy telling me to tighten up my drag which I did a few times, but I knew that this was no loose drag, it was a stonking tailor.  After a good 5-7 mins fighting the tailor as it took run after run I finally boated the beast and to our surprise it turned out to be 48cms.  A new PB!

 Nice work 48cm is a good one. Do you mean the marker with the anchor and chain hanging off it? If so i've had some good success in a little patch around there. Good stuff
