Just read in local Rocko paper "10 ppl fined $135 each for illegal off road access"...best use the carpark and walk mate. Heaps of crew still 4x4 over to the south side, but it appears a crack down has been implemented by local rangers, police and DEC. I have not heard any reports about goo fish in this stretch, just Secret Harbs - Singoes a few nice talor and mullas lurking in holes...good luck

Stacks of people there tonight, guy next to me was on with size tailor and under size, I seem him put them in his bucket, but when I ask he said he was throwing them back when he left.

 Not sure what to make of that !

 We caught Herring and Yellow tail, there were alittle to many people for my liking

And a young boy with then, With five hooks on the rod

A set of gangs at the top and 4 whiting hooks below and then a weight

When i said to them about it, They left

Born to fish forced to work

I got some sized tailor there the other night (33cm biggest). But the beach was lit up like an airport landing strip. People fishing within 5 meter's of each other. I walked a fair way up the beach and still couldnt get away from the horde's of people.

It was pretty weedy if you let the bait sink to much but if you cast and retreive at a moderate pace you seem to stay above the weed and the tailor love it.

Mininal gear means room for more beer

Like the motto francis but jees, get onto the EB would ya?

Any one fishing there tonight ? we are, got some yellow tail to soak.

TT ( karl )

If soaking the YT's i'd wait til swell drops and hit Singleton for some mulla action l8 in the week TT ;-)

I haven't been to Singleton for year's, last time I was there the Tailor were on big time, around 15 plus years ago LOL. thanks we have decide to throw out unweighted mulies and some white bait tonight instead.

got to wait for the mrs to get home then I'm off

Enjoy Karl you should catch a few decent fish with this blow. Let us kno how ya go. I will be keen  tomorrow-Friday evenings if your still out and about.

Yer no probs mate, looks like we will head down that way as well.

TT ( karl )

Got into a few tonight, bait casting seem to do the trick, not many people there tonight either, tailor were just size, under size and over size by about 2cm, the run only lasted about 40mins then the bite droped off big time.

We kept three that were just over the mark, through back about 12 tailor all under size by 5cm at lest, over all I had a blast it's been a while, looking forward to having smoked tailor fillets now. My daugther caught one tailor and a Yellow tail on a plastic glow maggot.

Even had a elderly man come up and use our fish guide to measure his tailor and that was just over he was a happy chap.

Nice one karl. Good to see you out and about again.

Nice work Karl, was gonna head down there last night but unfortunately had work to do...

Now the silly seasons over and people are going back to work hopefully it won't be chockers with ppl on weeknights

Smoked tailor fillets sound good!

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

Thats cool guys, going to get my self another block of mulies tonight and I'll probley head down there tonight to catch and release.

Got that photo of the plastic glow maggot that my daughter caught her Yellow Tail, she's still stiring the pi$$ out of me about it.

TT ( Karl )

Nice work Tommy - some nice choppers there. I'm thinking of headed down myself, but may try the PK end of that stretch into the wind, but within stumbling distance of my home ;-)

u were using mulies ay? Did you try downsizing to whitebait/sardines with any luck?

Cheers,

Ado

I found the blue bait and white bait were getting smashed by trumpeter's and bread butter species, not many big hits like a tailor hit, mulies were the go, I found the larger mulies were better had a better strike rate than the smaller mulies

right on sunset and it was on for about 40 minutes, but speaking to others down there its a hit or miss most nights you just have to be there at the right time.

TT ( karl )

Had a blast down there tonight, caught and released 14 Tailor and kept 6 Tailor,

here's a pic to show the size different ( this one was under size by about 3cm ). We also got a yellow tail and a couple of Herring.

 jazz my daughter also caught this strange fish I think its a long tom, any ideas guys

The catch, plus the Tailor that I smoked, tasted pretty good.

TT those tailor look mouthwatering. Very good haul mate. Looks like a long tom to me. Did you keep it? I think they have green bones...

A mate and I hit PK about 2km from you last night near the "free beach". We were fully clothed I can assure you (gang hooks and bare skin = ouch) only managed 6 undersize choppers all released stongly, and 6 herring (kept for offshore bait).

May have to have a sniff up Long Point tonight. U going down again?

Yes the smoked one's were from the first catch on Tuesday, tasted great too. I'll probley go on Sunday night since the beach will be packed over the weekend and I'm hoping to go down further south towards Singleton on Friday or Saturday evening. The Long Tom was released it swam way very slow at first then it took off, I've allways got gardies from down there never seen Long toms, my daughter was stoked about it.

TT ( karl )

P.S it's shopping night and the girls will be out, I have to watch the other's so I'll probley stay in, if not I want to head to tern Island.

Stacks of people there for a Sunday evening, wind was down and ocean was calm, not a good night for Tailor.

caught a Snook last night, 4 Tailor, kept two, hand full of yellow tail and a hand full of Herring, also caught a Blue swimmer, gee's it was small, it went back to the ocean.

 TT ( karl )

Landed another 10 tailor last night, all under size but two, my daughter also landed another Long Tom and a hand full of herring on a rubber glow maggot,also got a Trumpeter on a halco 5G.

Tailor sizes have dropped heaps at Long Point
