Dingostema Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 New to fishing. I guess I need a chart so I can start to identify fish but can you tell me what these are please? Thanks, DingoDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodgey Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 They're tailor. Slip down to your local tackle or boating store Dave and grab a copy of the NSW Saltwater Fishing regs. Keep it in the boat so you can refer to it. It contains species identification and (more importantly), species size and bag limits. We have a link to the brochure in our 'NSW Fisheries' Section located at the top of the page. Here is the link: NSW BAG AND SIZE LIMITS Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingostema Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks Hodgey, I will grab the guide asap. FWhen you suggested the guide I thought perhaps I may have had too many and they were to small but they were all 30cm or slightly over and I had three. That guide will be very useful. Thanks for your help, DingoDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catchin Jack Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Some people like tailor to eat, some smoke them also. Personally I only use them for bait haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarod420 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I grew up eating tailor and love them. You have to bleed them when you land them€, then straight on ice. Cooked whole on the BBQ is the best way but eat them within a day of catching them as they dont store well, definitely dont freeze them unless you like eating mush.

Dingostema Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Phew, I bled them last night when I caight them, gutted em when I got home and will cook them tonight. Tin foil parcel on the BBQ? DD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodoo Man Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Geez man If in doubt throw it out! You might have caught kept and eaten a poisionous fish ...let alone kept an undersized or protected fish. All the same I like a nice fesh feed of Taylor , the closer to legal size the beater , the big ones I find too oily for my taste buds , I am sure youll enjoy them. Go back to where you caught them just on dawn or dusk and throw around a few metal slice lures you may find this the best fishing ever, very good fighters , pays to use a small wire trace also to stop their teeth cutting you off and loosing your lures.

Dingostema Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Hey Goodoo, thanks for the advice, ive never fished with a lure before. I didnt even know I could fish with one at night (dusk)! RE the Tailor, I was pretty sure they were not poisonous by the look of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
