#1son Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 (edited) Howdy to all , Today , Dad (flightmanager) and I hit the Bay and were greeted at the ramp by a queue of boats . It was chockas ,and when we finally got the boat in the water it decided to turn windy and get really choppy and it would have been ok but the fish weren't on the bite at Molly Point , so we decided to head to the refinery , but still nothing , so over to the third run way with us and still nothing ! So i decided to try my luck with my new rod and try trolling, and hey presto a tailor!! After that Dad thought he'd give trolling a go , so we were trolling towards the refinery , and something took my line , burnt my finger and then busted me off , and then nothing for a little while .Tried again at the refinery , but once again , nothing. We went to go to Molly Point , but stopped when the fish finder started going nuts , so we dropped a line , and Dad pulled in a baby snapper , followed shortly after by a flat head that he got up to the boat, but it spat his hook out , and then just continuous nibbles and baiting . Then finaly we reached Molly Point , and we got 4 red rock cod and a black rock cod , and then a rock that swallowed our anchor and then we called it stumps , packed up and came home. Here is a pic of the Tailor : Brett Edited August 20, 2006 by swordfisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozeash Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Good report mate. Some days are like that, aren't they? What you're holding is a Tailor - they fight quite as hard as the kingie and just smash your bait. Cheers, A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 may have meant kingy bait. well done #1 son and flighty trolling is always a good option when bait fishing fails. covering alot of ground puts you in with a better chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightmanager Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Thanks Stewy , I must admit when we measured the fish , I only had a quick look at the chart , under Kingfish , sort of looked similar , anyway , at 30 cm , after the photo , he was sent back to fight another day ( hopefully tomorrow !) .
