Kalbarri April

Hey guys,

Heading up there this april, and i'm desperate to get into the Tailor the place is famous for.

Can I get some pointers like lures of choice, best areas. I have a kayak aswell for the river, maybe get into

some bream and if i'm lucky a jack. 

Thanks guys, Andrew

Gday,

Cant help with lures as I usually use Mullies/ squid/ mullet for Tailor but a good place is Wittecarra Creek near Red Bluff.

The Kayak gives you options

I tend to use whole Gars up there. Gangs of 4 to 5 hooks. Wittecarra can be very good if the conditions are right. That's not always the case but April should be a very good opportunity as the SW winds should drop off.

Personally, if you have a Kayak I would suggest you cross the river mouth and fish oyster reef. That can go off. Poppers are a very good option in that area but use a good trace. The fish you are hoping to catch are serious stuff mate. Be prepared to lose a few.

The wife and I try to get a trip there in july each year when things go a bit quiet on the human side. Never a dull moment up there if you work hard. Good luck.

Do some preparation before you go. Catch them or buy them :P Having said that of course there are some great Gars caught up the way. Red Bluff produces well.
