Hey all,

been up at Coronation for the past 2 weeks with family.  Lots and lots of tailor around.  Over the 2 weeks we got about 130 tailor,

but not much else that was decent.  Just the usual sharks, rays, shovelnoses etc. but i also caught what im 99% sure was a threadfin salmon, which

surprised me, i've never caught one around the area before.  I had a really good burley mixed up which consisted of pollard, aniseed oil, burley pellets, fish frames,

bbq fat, bread, and recycled Red Rooster fryer oil.  It really helped to keep the tailor on the bite.  One night my uncle and myself both caught our bag limit and by 

the time we were catching our last couple of fish each they had the fattest guts i've ever seen.  They must have been in a real feeding frenzy and they were

even attacking the fish we were reeling in.  Later on when we filleted them i found a heap of different stuff inside them.  There was mulies, pieces of dart, pieces of

other tailor and even blowies in their guts.  I'd have never thought that they would eat blowies but i guess they got in that much of a frenzy that they would just

eat whatever was swimming around.  Im also quite proud of myself as i caught a decent amount of fish on lures which i've never seemed to be able to do before.  

I was using soft plastics which i soon realised was a bad idea with tailor around, they would just destroy them.  I didn't really mind because i brought them

all pretty cheap anyway.  I tried as many different types as i could, Squidgie flickbaits, Squidgie wrigglers, Berkley gulp minnows, Berkley Powerbait and even the

the slam soft plastics all caught fish.  Will definetely persist with lures in the future now.

Even had a go at ballooning with the strong easterly we had for a couple of days.  Had no worries getting my bait out there but no luck.  Yet to catch a fish ballooning.

We had the fisheries call in at our camp too, 2 blokes came up the beach on quads and were stopping to check at every camp.  They went through all our fridges but all good we only had a couple of fillets.

I do have photos but seem to have misplaced my camera so once i find it ill upload a few.

Cheers
