I went for a solo trip up Cervantes way on Friday afternoon, through some pretty ordinary weather. I've never been around the area before so I spent some time exploring and found some likely looking areas by the time the sun was going down. After finding a place to camp, I went in search of a mulloway. There was a lot of weed in the water which made me a little nervous, but I gave it a crack nonetheless. After 2 casts and about 20kg's of weed landed, followed by a heavy downpour catching me completely offguard, I thought it a good idea to retire for the evening, and try for some tailor in the morn.

As predicted, the weather shaped up nicely and I woke to a starry sky. After a coffee and quick feed I was down on the rocks, and the tailor were playing the game from the outset. Most were hooked just beyond the ledge about 6-7 m in front of me, some further out and a few bold fellas chasing the popper over the ledge into about 20cm of water, which was great fun. Most were around the 50cm mark, with the biggest at 56cm.
