Yowie Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Fished Gymea Bay early for 6 tailor, reasonable fish from 40 to 45cm, and a 36cm reddie. Released the reddie and 2 tailor, 4 tailor are enough for a feed. A couple of the tailor took the pillies as they were sinking, but the others were feeding off the bottom. No sign of any tailor or baitfish splashing the surface. Yowie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgs84 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 G'day Yowie. Tailor are good fun to catch especially that size. (except when they are taking your brand new lures) Whats the brown goo like weed that all over the hacking at the moment. no matter where i fish i still seem to get caught up in it. cant remember it being in the river like this before Morgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumra Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 hey yowie, good feed you got there.... how early you fishing for the tailor? you out before sunrise? I havent been able to hook up any tailor lately. MRGS, i noticed that weed around northwest arm when i was fishing recently also. Pain in the arse when it fouls up your bait...

I was out for a few hours in the morning (5am to 11.30am), couldn't find the Tailor but got stuck into the Trevally schools again, excellent fun on light gear . pongrass18ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grays Point has a lot at present, as does the western side of Gunnamatta Bay. Other places have very little of this slimy weed. Once it gets onto the bait, nothing will bite. Many years ago in Yowie Bay, the slime was actually suspended in mid water, and an unweighted bait would not sink through it. When the water temperature rises, the slimy weed will vanish.

Fishing from first light, with the last bite just after sunrise. After that, only a few little reddies. No movement on the surface to indicate any fish anywhere, the tailor are feeding near the bottom. It's a matter of one fish, then nothing for a while, then another fish, wait again, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongrass18ft Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I was in a boat along the western side. Mate, I think I may have seen you around 11.30am in the 70ft hole area on the corner. I stopped there near the red cannel marker on the left. The top end of the hacking fishes really well especially through winter. I'll have to give Gymea Bay a go next time I am out. Gee, didn't the wind get up quick yesterday . Pongrass18ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
