Tailor & Salmon together = fun

Decided to head down for a quick beach fish last Thursday 6th/8 but conditions were that nice I thought I would brave the cool water for a reef fish instead. So glad I did as the Tailor went absolutely nuts  with a couple of Salmon chucked in just to spice things up a bit, bait casting mulies was the go but soon ran out & switched to lures. Ended the morning with 30 plus Tailor, 2 Salmon & just to top of the morning a Sambo which gave the  11ft ASSASSIN Amia & little Shimano a nice work out. The Sambo came in on a Stick Bait but in hind sight I think he may have hit a hooked Tailor & got a bit more than he bargained for. Kept 2 Tailor & a Salmon with everything else released 

The fishing was so good I had to go back on the Friday but a couple of mates tagged along, they wernt disappointed with the Tailor going off again, I managed 2 more Salmon, we had Sambo's bigger than the one on Thursday chasing the hooked Tailor up onto the Reef all the way to our feet  snapping at them as we lifted them from the water. We all got 25 plus Tailor each from just under 50cm through to a  nice 72 cm job. Hooked 2 of what I guess we're the Sambo's but couldn't stop them this time. 2 other guys down there got 8 or 10 each as well. We kept a couple of Tailor each & released the rest.

That sambo L/B is a mint picture, make sure you submit it individually as will be a good contender for the Photo of the Month prize.
