Few Metro Tailor
With our normal target species “off limits” and the strong easterly forecast, we decided to have a troll along the northern beaches for tailor. Hit the water at first light in surprisingly placid conditions with flat seas. Spent a couple of enjoyable hours trolling quite close to the beach with proven lures. The water was quite dirty with a lot of weed which I think meant we had to basically troll the lure in front of their heads to get a hit.
We managed to come across a number of schools at different times which resulted in multiple hookups most times we found them. Lost quite a few at the boat as we only had one net which was in use at the time. The highlight was definitely landing two fish on one lure as they took the front and rear trebles.
Without any doubt, the best thing was my mate’s new 36V Minn Kota in its first test could easily hold his 8m boat using spot lock in moderate winds – the anchor is now a thing of the past.
We brought a few home but they have been carefully individually wrapped and packed to see if they can be upgraded to larger models in the future. Not a bad result for a windy morning.
