Smith's Beach report... Another off the bucket list!
Submitted by Snags on Sat, 2012-09-08 13:22
Dragged myself out of bed at 6 and walked down from where we're staying to a very fishy looking spot on the beach/reef.
First cast landed my biggest tailor for the session. I was stoked because I seriously wasn't expecting anything!!! Proceeded to be a hook up a cast, landed & released a couple, dropped plenty! Blues code did the damage until I lost it. Hooked up on a popper, which was an amazing sight!! But dropped what may have been a pb.
My aim this season (as per another thread) was to lure a 35cm+ tailor... Mission accomplished! :-D Biggest went 49 and kept two for dinner tonight. Back again tomorrow morning... So stoked with my first ever successful land based lure session!
...now to find a spot this fishy back in metro Perth...

Just a quick
Just a quick update...
Yesterday morning was harder going, dropped a couple of tailor before I lost another Blues Code without landing a fish $$ouch$$
Swell and wind was up so wasn't ideal, landed a bull herring which got theived by a bird!
No tailor today but herring were thick. Could see them climbing over each other to eat my lures. Didn't have any blues codes left, smilin jacks was too big for the herring. 40gm spanyo slice and a shallow diving 14gm minnow did the trick on the herring.
