Theres photos getting around facebook of a huge school of tailor just milling on the surface at Bussleton jetty. Im not sure if people are catching them or if they are in spawn mode and not feeding, ive never seen them like that..

that pic is of a school that has been hanging around for a few weeks... they are smart cause you cant fish where they are. They reckon its pretty cool to throw in some cubed mullie and watch em feed.... no hooks allowed though.

Plenty of tailor and snook
Plenty of tailor and snook around, both the jetty and wonnerup, always herring around. Squid and crabs have gone pretty quiet, as they always do in summer. Haven't seen to many kg's lately, but plenty of yellow fin off the beach pretty much anywhere in the bay. Good luck
Fisherman, constantly trying to out-smart fish.......with limited success

Thnx alot guys that is really helpful.
Tailor is most likely what we will be going for so that is good news.
Also where abouts on the jetty is the best part to fish?

hey, went to busso jetty a
hey, went to busso jetty a few weeks ago. herrings were in plague proportion. we fished unweighted mulies after the bend and had some success with snooks and taylors, but the damn herrings would also take whole mulies.
surface lures were also effective for the snooks at sunset.
i got some squid just before the bend, caught 5 but only 1 was decent sized.
best of luck, tell us how you went :)
