I reckon the Tailor fishing in Sydney can be as good as anywhere.
Time of year is important. Generally you will do a lot better from Autumn to Winter.
My p.b of 4.6kg's came from the rocks at North Head.
One of the best methods is a 10-12ft rod, matched with 12-20lb line with a running ball sinker to a gang hook rig with pillies or gar.
Cast out as far as you can & slowly wind it back.
This works from the rocks or the beach.
I've caught 4 Jews while fishing for tailor as bait doing this, as well as a number of other species.
Give it a crack. It's more fun than simply soaking a bait & is very effective.
Cheers,
Grant.
Hey, thanks for sharing that method Jewhunter, will have to give it a burst. Did you see Scotty Lyons report with the 70cm Tailor, man thats a monster!

Wow Groper, sensational holiday mate. I just hope you didn't try the beach launch from the beach in pic 10! Those oysters and crays sure look the business!!!
-
Great day out there Brendo, 15kg kingy, mate that is an awesome effort on 6kg line. Well done!
-
Well done on the kings stunnedmullet, I bet she's seriously hooked on fishing after that.
-
Beaut report there flyfanatic, when the conditions are flat it sure adds to it being a fun day out. Lets hope the dollies are about next time.
-
Sounds like alot of fun with the poppers there joshagius. Thanks for the report.

Hi Huey, indeed we are agreed that the single most important aspect of reliability is proper, regular maintenance. On other matters, please accept that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Fair enough David, let's hope that's you're quota of breakdowns for the summer out of the way. I saw an inboard bowrider towed back to the ramp yesterday, sure is nice to know maritime are there if needed.
-
Mmmmmmm, I don't think the question should be one engine or two, rather 4 stroke maintained properly, or two stroke with headaches.
-
Great looking trout there mdj, you're right about the high country, breathtaking scenery, crisp clear water, and hows the serenity! Well done on the trout.
-
Well done Kris, landbased kingy, Respect dude.
-
Well jamesy, I've lived in both cities and if anything it's easier to get onto tailor here. Fish stocks are coming back over here. Good luck and keep at it.

Mate, try the site sponsors huett marine or xtreme mobile mechanics. Both highly reputable and will do the right thing by you. Check the banners at the top.

6 fish over 70 cms, 4 over 80 cms, hardly worth posting really........
Now Dusky chaser, about this 1 metro plus thing, why not aim for something more achievable, like marrying the jayhawk.
Great post mate, sounds like a brill week.

Great report tightlines, man that home made lure is the business! Congrats
-
Jay, I'm hearing you, ya gotta realize with fishing you will just be chasing your tail until you can learn from someone with the knowledge. Go on a charter, or go to Scotty Lyons fishin school, it's well worth it.
-
Yep, the kings are hard to find unless your name is Scotty Lyons, I'm having trouble getting into them too, but then again my next one will be my first!
Good luck
-
Awesome job Brettman, gotta love it when a plan comes together. Just wondering though, so many reels but no Alvey???? What are you going to pass on to the kids??
-
Great squid there snag king, have been trying for squid in the hacking for doughnuts so far, so it's good to hear that they are there.
-
Great report fishmaniac, I bet that shirt is a prized possession. Sure hope your dad reads this post.
-
Dangnabbit thems some mighty fine critters yoall got there, gotta get me some to put in the roadkill gumbo.
Chioce bro, stoked az.

Indeed Spanker, it is due to the generosity of spirit shown by the experienced fishraider members that new members can learn quickly.
Cheers Lucky

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Yeah soaking wet might be right. I once saw a bloke bag one of these from the rocks near crescent head, it was a 70cm version and the bloke was soaked from head to toe, he had wrestled this thing to shore in the end and it looked as though it had been a close contest.
Now, on two important matters, good luck and don't do it!
That being chasing the groper and getting engaged, will leave it to you to figure which advice goes with which activity.

What, you lost your Fishraider cap??? Oh the injustice........ Now should you by chance have become another victory for the sharks in the running game of sharks vs humans, how prophetic would your signature photo be!!!! On the bright side, now you have an excuse to buy another outfit!
