Diane Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Had a great mornings fishing on Lake Macquarie trolling for Tailor. Using hand lines and a home made spoon lure, plastic squid lures and a hard plastic white lure we landed seventeen lovely legal fish for the morning. As the water got rougher the fish bit harder! We had smoked fillets for dinner tonight. We have fed ourselves and the neighbours - the portable smoker is amazing and makes fish enjoyable for a fish "catcher" but not eater like me! With a couple of glasses of Tasmanian Chardy the smoked fillets were beautiful. Looking forward to another session in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 give us a pic of the home made spoon lure. dave This is my first picture download so hope it works ok. The spoons have a treble on a split ring, a treble with one prong cut off and fixed with small bolt plus tip of spoon cut and wrapped around end of treble plus solder to hold in place. The plastic white lure (from our local tackle shop) is a smaller version of what we used yesterday but got cut off either from a Tailer or stupid boat driver that ran over our lines. Must say that even though the silver spoons worked well, the white lure ruled for the day. To top off a good days fishing we put the frames from the tailor into Dora Creek and caught two 36cm - 1.5 lb bream on tailor bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
