First metro tailor..
Submitted by sambo24 on Sat, 2012-02-25 17:37
Hey guys,
After a few tries I finally got my first metro tailor today. Not huge by anyones standards (went 42cm) but kept him for a feed anyhow along with a few good size herring we got as well.
All caught in the middle of the day, on pieces of prawn, on 4lb bream gear from a parked boat in a fremantle marina. Great fun and no fuel used.
Additionally we got dozens of pink snapper which would have gone about 20cm, was pretty surprised to see them in the harbour at midday.
Also got a black bream but he was a little under and they're not my favourite fish to eat anyhow.
Cheers for reading guys..

there is nothing more relaxing than catching herring and tailor on light gear floating around the ocean

Well done of your first tailor. Mean fish!
Tailor are great to catch, but I think you will find the Hezza's are better to eat.

I had the tailor yesterday, dipped in cornflour then fried in oil.
Wasnt too bad, found it pretty similiar to skippy in flavour but the flesh seemed pretty soft tbh
The hezzas were much tastier (Y)
