Local Tailor
Submitted by spook on Fri, 2012-05-18 08:38
Catching some decent Tailor-60cm+ northern metro at the moment, bigger than the 40-50 they have been the last couple of months. They seem to only be in small schools but they're around and fun. Use Bull Chops or River to Sea 150mm dumbell poppers, they seem to be doing the trick and an hour before high tide. Remember to change trebles to single hooks and crush the barbs, if you dont you will injure the jaws of the fish, tailor have pretty fine jaw structure.

Thats a solid bloody tailor!

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.

Nice work Spook. Good advice
Nice work Spook. Good advice on the singles, Tailor are much too good to catch and fairly average on the chew to keep many, so catch and release the go. I keep the odd one for breaky, noy bad very fresh as long as not overcooked.
