Salmon and Tailor
Submitted by Wilzee on Sat, 2015-07-18 11:21
On the beach NOR at 5 30 am Salmon were biting then stopped. 1/2 hour later the tailor were on the bite. I was using 40 lb leader with a couple of 5/0 snelled hooks that was ok for Salmon but the Tailor were biting through it with ease. Landed two Tailor then lost the first hook followed by the second hook so chucked it in and when home with a nice feed. Left the tailor on the bite - not something that happens to me too often.

cheers gillyL, so far we've smoked the salmon and made a Sri Lankan curry. The curry was sensational. Will try deep frying in tempura batter next - none gone to waste.
