Hi, Im new here but thought i would fill you in. Had a top night last night at pt walter jetty. Caught around 50 tailor, only 4 keepers though but plenty on 25 cm. Went out there at 8 for a quick throw and ended up staying till 2am. Even had to go and get more pillies. Is this normal there or were we lucky? Its my 4th time there and have changed takle/bait/lures ect every time and watched others with their setup and have finally found the right combo.

Went down last night and had another another cracker. 8 herring and 9 tailor between me and my mate. 2 x 37cm tailor which was good also. I think i am ready to give the north mole a go and chase some bigger tailor on the same tackle and setup. I attached some photos.

Reliable
Used to be a fairly reliable place for summer choppers, sounds like things haven't changed much. Spinning little slice lures is also a fun way to catch them during lowlight/daylight periods.

sounds like a fun session.
sounds like a fun session. showing good signs for the future as long as people dont take the small ones and go overboard taking more than the limit or what they can eat fresh.

The fisheries research guys
The fisheries research guys were down there tonight fishing for choppers taking their measurements etc. a float with gang hooks seems to be the norm there now, some big monster rays about as well gave me something to think about for next times snorkel night session, pretty scary having a few follow you close.
