Swan Tailor
Well decided to take the boys out for a troll on the Swan. My Youngest asked if his mate could tag along more the merrier. We set out at 8.30 and finished around 1pm. I'd go earlier next time. Ironic part of it was the gear we used. Reagan found this old crusty lure a few weeks back while walking along the foreshore (Rapala max wrap 15g) and used it with the rod he was handed at the rally. Well that kit fired all day and out fished the metal slices I had out the back. We probaly hooked about 20 odd Tailor all size but kept the biggest for brekky today. The biggest one was 410mm. They had a ball and had my oldest driving the boat which he loved. No one was crabbing and the water still looks a bit yellow from the recent rain so I reckon a couple of weeks and they'll move further up the river.
Happy chaps.
Love the West!

I was inspired by this post,
I was inspired by this post, so went out this morning thinking it wouldn't rain. At about 1030, started to head for home before the rain came and was confronted by a wall of grey, couldn't see through it. Gunned it in and got absolutely drenched and sprayed from the waves. Was good fun though. No tailor were about
