Lawrie Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 (edited) Hi to all Members, It didn,t take Mick long to post that capture,and boy what a fish.I've caught some nice tailor in my day,but this one blew them away.About half an hour earlier I got one about one kilo and cut him up for bait in slabs,and thats what he took. He only shook the bait and ran in with it ten to fifteen meters.and dropped it, and as i leaned back on him ,he took off, and boy didn't he go.He must have run one hundred meters before i could stop him. and i honestly thought i had a jewie on,only he was going a lot faster.But i must admit it was certainly a big thrill,as seven lb was about the biggest one iv'e ever caught.I hope all you guys get one in your lifetime.and you can say you've caught Tyranasaurus Tailor. Best of luck, Lawrie I thought I would throw these pictures in with the story of my catch , to Clarify the confusion. By the way, i'm going back to-night to look for his mother. Thanks all. Lawrie.

kikila Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I once saw a tailor that had been caught down at the banks that went 7kg; the fellow got it jigging for kings. I didn’t think I would see a bigger specimen’ but yours has defiantly got the wood on his. Great fish, excellent capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky. Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Nice catch there Lawrie. Dad's been talkin' it up lately about how big the tailor have been up that way. I might have to head "home" to visit the oldies again very soon. cheers Hooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
