Northern Beach Fishing (Saturday Night)
Hey all,
Went out to my regular spot on a Northern Beach, in hope to get some Tailor for a feed. (Saturday night)
They were scarse on Saturday night. Hardly any bites. I thought that there might be something out there scaring them off.
I was fishing with a 20 pound line and the regular rig for Tailor. (Top surface rig). Then behold a massive bite, which had set the drag off. Couldnt reel it in.
It snapped my wire trace. The trace was 45 pound. Set up the same rig again and 10 min later another run.
Managed this time to reel it in and land it. A whopping 4ft Bronzie. The regular rules. 700mm from back of top dorsal fin to rear dorsal fin. Just under 700mm.
I decided that this was a decent catch, and call it a night.
Took me 20 min to skin and enough fillets for 15 people.

Nice fish!Question: If you're
Nice fish!
Question: If you're fishing metro beaches and it's blowing southerlies/SE'lys (according Seabreeze), can you tell me how you are managing to fish surface rigs and keeping them out there?
What kind of rig are you using?

Easysnag.All you do is face
Easysnag.
All you do is face North and cast. Surface rig consists of a weighted float, 1m wire trace and gang hooks.
You need a real far cast. My average is 70-100m.
