Great day out (Tailor Sesh)
Finally managed a leave pass on Friday 27th to get out for a much deserved fish, Met up with a couple of mates and went out in awesome conditions for a bit of a troll around Cockburn sound for sum tailor. Spent a ½ hr at the first spot but no hits, was a little bit of weed around which was fouling up the lures so we decided to move. Next spot we thought we would up our chances and run a 5 rod spread and a couple of minutes later all hell broke loose when 4 out the 5 rods got smashed just as we hit the mark. My 11 yr old son was going to have to learn pretty quick how to land a decent tailor as all of us were hooked up and he was on his own, he had a good fight all the way to the boat only for it to flick the hook meters from the boat then mine to follow, with both my mates managing to land a couple of 35 cm plus choppers to start the count. Over the next 2 hrs it was on for young and old with fish flying over the gunnels and heaps more not wanting a bar of it and flicking hooks during their amazing aerial displays. At one point the lure would get smashed as soon as it was thrown out in the spread(Mainly the shotgun which was mine).Catch of the day went to my son Hayden with his PB 40 cm specimen (pretty sure it’s the biggest fish he has ever caught) Needless to say he was stoked and so was i as we had the 2 biggest tailor for the arvo, Mine going just over 39 cm.

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
