River tailor advice

 Hey all I am fairly knew to the site,

I am just wondering if some one could share some info on where to catch tailor and the rigs or lures to do so. I have a Malibu fishing kayak so not restricted to shore based fishing. Also I have a few repala diving Minos and a few halo poppers I use down south to catch monster tailor. When does the season start?

any advice would be appreciated,

thanks.

Look for the birds

A good stretch is from the Swan Brewery rock wall up to and all around Matilda Bay. Many times driving past you'll see birds diving. Just troll a metal slice will do the trick.

 With the dirty fresh water

 With the dirty fresh water coming down the river this time of year your probs best to focus on the shoreline down river from say claremont jetty to the blackwall area. Once you find where the bait is schooling or holding there will definately be tailor. Iver heard there are still some lost salmon cruising that area too, you never know what you'll hit. Through summer the brewery stretch holds some monsters.
