Tailor pic

Solid tailor around today caught this one at around 11am out of a school of about 10 fish. Hookups on all the spots I tried with some good surface strikes on the popper

Hahaha nice work then. I actually found it better for me at my spots the last 3 weeks, with the weather being a bit more blowy. Most my spots work when there is plenty of wave and whitewater action. Today was just numbing for me. Nearly all my spots were dead flat.

Mind you i only fished from before dawn till about 09:30. Guess you found were they like to hold up for the midday sun :) I have spots like that up the Coral Coast where you can find the Tailor laying up for the day in rock pools and holes close to shore, but i havent found any of these lay up areas around Metro yet. Good to know they do exist though.
