Tailor time
With some reports of a few nice tailor turning up in the northern metro area, Unclue Stu, Sherbs and I decided to head to one of Sherb's favourite spots.
Uncle Stu and I arrived on daybreak to find that Sherbs hadn't been able to sleep, and had already been there for a few hours.
With the wind dropping off quickly, we positioned ourselves on the local rock and started pinging mulies into the white water.
Stu was soon hooked into a nice tailor, which he was able to work through the white water and onto the rocks without too much trouble.
From then on it was a case of waiting for the school to come by to make a couple of quick hook ups.
While the tailor weren't thick Stu managed to score his bag limit and Sherbs and I picked up some nice sized tailor and a solid tarwhine between us.
Interestingly the seven tailor we bagged were all between 40 and 45 cm and of a similar thickness.
Considering how poor the weather has been lately, it was great to get out in some reasonable conditions with some mates and catch some nice fish.
It certainly made for a great way to kick-off fathers day.

Uncle Stu deserves all the glory for catching the most fish and then eating a "boiling hot" pie without spilling it on himself.

Lol Thanks Russ
I think you are being a bit generous there about escaping graylands. We only get day passes.

did you use your poppers
did you use your poppers again colin? how did you go on them compared to bait(if you did use them of course)

Yes Matt I use them pretty much exclusively now in
the surf and from the rocks.
With the surf popper set up you have the advantage of having the popper either acting as an attractant to the "baited" gang hooks or for catching the fish themselves.
On Sunday the fish only took the "baited" hooks but previosuly I have had equal results with the popper and the bait.
The Canadian guy who was also fishing there was using a "factory" surf popper rig and he scored big time on the tailor.
I have found a gold mine of "honkey nuts" near Uncle Stu's place and have made a heap of new ones which I can't wait to try out.
