Cracked 50cm FINALLY!
Went to my usual tailor spot Wednesday night and after a slow start we got onto some nice tailor.
Arrived to an empty and wet groyne and we had to brave some light rain, with the odd heavier shower. Good chop in the water, no weed and a freezing southerly blowing into our faces.
Mate landed a very healthy 49cm to start us off. Then followed up with a 37cm, which looked undersized compared to the previous one!!
Mate was giving me plenty of lip, then I got a 35er. A baby compared to his first one. He then gets another 48cm. F*** ME! 3-1 to my mate.
Then bang!! This starts taking a decent run. Got her in, 51cm!!! After a long time trying I have cracked fifty!!!!
Things went quiet so packed up at 11pm and head home.
Had the big rod out too and my yellow tail was stolen by a squid
Sorry no photos, everything was kept well away from the rain.

Good stuff mate, were they fat fish? My fist time cracking fifty was a skinny fish, nice aerials but not much of a fight.

nice one i have noticed that
nice one i have noticed that the big summer tailor over the 50cm mark and bigger are usually skinny and dont do well on the scales but the big winter tailor AKA greenbacks do well onthe scale and sometimes get over the 4kg mark, for example a 60cm summer tailor might get u 1kg or just under but a 60cm winter tailor could go as far as 3kg, great work mate.
