Trolling the swan

I can't believe I caught tailors trolling the swan. I was in shock yesterday when me and a mate were taking the dinghy out for a cruise and hooked on a few nice tailors with a couple of rmg scorpions... It was freaking awesome experience for me and reminded me of Kalbarri when trolling for mackies, I recommend for those who have a small dinghy to give it ago,

Caught a couple trolling (and on everything in a my tacklebox once) but were all just undersize. Was still fun catching 20+ tailor in a session, but nice to keep just one :p.


How big were the ones you were picking up?
