White Hills Tailor
Yep not a bad night down at White Hills, Light to moderate N/W to westerly all night. Very little weed to contend with. Got snagged on reef a few times, good practice on rig making. Did manage to snap me 10 ft ugly stick just above ferrule (casting out).
Got lines in the water about 4:00pm, fished till late. A few herring, tarwhine and a crab to start with tailor on the bit off & on from late arvo last one pulled in about 11:30pm smallest 33cm largest approx 45cm. Nothing on the slide rig but a good night all up. Be heading down again soon.
Getting a lot more people staying overnight which is alright but many heading into the dunes and leaving rubbish behind. One group of youngsters using wood that was placed to protect dunes for fire wood and throwing broken chairs on the pile before heading home. (Tims Thicket south).

YEH zak-fish I head south
YEH zak-fish I head south from White Hills entry Tims Thicket far to busy for me. There's alot of reef exposed on the first section 2km's next 5 odd km's sand then about 3 odd km's of broken and solid reef. Always good for a snorkel along reef. The last 10 km's to Preston beach is all sand. I normally fish next to or along reef about 1o km's. Good luck
