Did a couple of hours on the Broady last night in search of some tailor, took a while to find them but once I did it was a fish a pass or cast. Started off prospecting by trolling some xraps and once I'd found them and pulled a few I pulled up and spun a popper but only managed one as the fish seemed to be hanging deep, tied on a squidgy and was back to a fish a cast, pulled the pin after around 2 doz fish in the 45-50cm range plus 1 lone squire, also hooked the mother of all hairtail which thankfully spat the hook at the boat as I was wondering how I could land it (I had severe misgivings about grabbing this fella) did get another 2 smaller versions and another Tailor on the troll home.
Beautiful night but chilly would be an understatement, only regret was leaving the fly gear at home (option for Saturday perhaps)

Hi Steve was wondering too where you found your tailor? I went out the previous Saturday night and worked my way from the northern tip of Crab Island to the deep hole behind Sea world. I got a couple of nice hairtail which were really good fun but no one single tailor. Large shows of bait on the sounder but nothing. I understand tailor move around, but where do you troll for them at night? Thanks, Shane.
