Port Kennedy - Long Point
Went to my local tonight took my fishing gear and kids,
We decide to head more up towards Long Point tonight arriving at the beach around 6:30, so we looked for a spot along the beach that had no sea weed at all, we found a likely spot which was around 200 meters either side was just clear blue and you could see the sandy ground with no weed, we set up and started fishing and I was hoping to land Sand Whiting it's been some time since I've caught Sand Whiting at Port Kennedy, time went by and all we were getting were the Western Australian Butter Fish. We bag out on them, lost count after a while.
Always fun on very light line's, sunset came and a few more people arrived and still NO Tailor in site, wasn't till around 8:40 that the Tailor were on the bite. landed my first one which was size, saved that one for the live setup rig I had for the night, after that was casted out we landed another 8 Tailor all being under size.
We kept fishing with no more luck for the night, by 9:30 the kids were getting into the Herring, even I was catching them, they were taking pieces of mulie with a burley rig setup, between me and the kids we bagged 19 Herring and 3 yellow Tail and they were still biting when we left and that was around 11pm.
Came home with 19 Herring, 3 Yellow Tail and NO Tailor and NO Sand Whiting
All in ALL we had a blast wasn't too cold and the ocean was calm

I never have to much luck
I never have to much luck with mulie peices,,only get one shot at it and i find it hard to keep it on the hooks,,i love the fillet either side of the tail but fillets from the elsewhere never stay on to well.
Last week at the horse beach my neices ,sister and brother in law had a ball on tailor with the bite slowing at 9.30,,we were using mulies on gangs,,i will be going over to your herring rig for the kids,,i reckon they will have more fun and more hookups with smaller gangs and its exciting for them to see the herring jump out the water.
If i dont use mulies pieces i might try blue sardines,,might have a chance at catching more tailor than with mulie pieces ?
Didnt you mob get 19 herring last week as well ?

Yep mulie peices work a
Yep mulie peices work a treat with us,
RIG 1: Use a float set up with a long leader going to a small long shank or wide gap hook.
or you can use what I was using last night,
RIG 2: long leader with a very light sinker to a small hook., just replace the float for a sinker.
And use heaps of burley try to have a burley slick out.
