Chopper Tailor in Nedlands
Submitted by Industrymanboy on Tue, 2013-12-03 09:31
Just a quick report, I caught a good number of decent sized Chopper Tailor in Nedlands on poppers last..... but also had a reminder that even the small ones have a set of sharp teeth.
:P

It's always the undersize fish that get me. Bloody flathead are the worst. Lucky they come with their own antidote on their bellies.

Ouch... I always carry pliers to unhook these guys..
I also fish the Nedlands foreshore but found the tailor shutdown on the weekend. Previously had great sessions on surface lures around sunset.
you getting any oversize? The ones I encountered were all mid-20cm models... Still good fun though!

I carry my pliers around for this exact reason, however I was a little bit over excited as I have never caugh anything on a popper (I was begining to think it was myth) and just grabbed it without thinking :P
I have caught a number of 30 to 35 cm Tailor there, but none since about April.
