Fished the deep off Lilli Pilli early for 3 reddies, only around 31, 32 cm, plus plenty of throwbacks, a bonito, a flounder about 30cm and a bream.

Pumped some nippers at Mainbar, fished there for a short while for only 2 bites, both whiting just under 30cm, then drifted towards Lilli Pilli for another flounder and a flattie about 40cm. Not big fish, but enough fillets for a couple of meals.

On the sand flats at Lilli Pilli last week on the run out tide, there were dozens of bream over the flats, most just under size but a few better ones, this week on the run up tide, I only saw a couple of them. Apart from a few bonito jumping, no tailor to be seen. Usually catch a few tailor this time of year in the early morning, but none for the last few weeks. Time for some rain to colour the water.

Nice work, my fiance actually caught a tailor last weekend. was about 30 cm long, pretty nice size a guy next to me caught one about 50 cm which was good

The Tailor schools are still around but they are certainly not a prolific as the last few years have been. About three weeks ago i was out and Turreal bay was busting up across the whole bay for about 2hrs with schools of 50cm plus tailor mixed with a few rat kings. Great fun.

yeah the tailor are still around but have been harder to find and in smaller schools. 2 saturdays ago i was chasing them around the shallow water at south west arm. It was hard to pin them down and when we did, they wouldnt take our lures. The school was moving around pretty fast.
