King slayer Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Raiders, My tradesman got sick so had to finish work early today.. what a shame! I heard about some big kings around a rock spot, so collected a few yakkas and a herring from Roseville on the way through and fished the rock spot, without any competition for a few hours. Met Zenman down there too. Good to put a face to a name. Had a yakka out under a float and was considering packing it in when the float shoots under and I miss the hook up...Damn, but I have more so on with the next one. This one comes back head only after a minute so I got wise and thought...Tailor! I hooked the next one in the tail and out she goes. Below is the result! 57cms and my new PB for Tailor. I put out another livie which was being harassed by something very big and white (King!), but it didn't take the bait. Packed it in soon after. Half the Tailor is for dinner tomorrow for my Inlaws, the other half and the head will be Jew bait over the weekend. Cheers all. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim77 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Nice work mate - good fish. So were you fishing somewhere in middle harbour somewhere? I have 2 weeks holiday coming up so hoping to get a fair bit of fishing done. I have heard that there are some good sized tailor around - at least at that size they are a good feed and a reasonable trade off if you can't find the Kings. Cheers jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinkymalinky Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Congrats on the PB Dave. No wonder your baits were getting the short back & sides with fish like that around. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen801 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi Dave, Good to meet you yesterday. Mate thats a nice tailor. Mine yesterday was 50cm and chunky so that one at 57cm is very good. Wise option as a jew bait. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
