Hi Fishorerub
The most likely spots for tailor at Hillarys are behind Aqwa on the main wall, or near the Disabled ramp and the lighthouse on the north wall.
If the conditions are right, the best best for fishing for tailor at Hillarys is with an unweighted mulie or throwing out metal lures.
As for fishing near Boy in a boat reef, I have had most of my success there fishing very light and throwing out lots of burley. Late afternon and early evening is the best bet. There are normally skippy, tarwhine, squid and lots of herring around that spot. Oh - and heaps of stingrays.
