is so hard to beat for breakfast!

Summer fishing = tailor

Just remember when fishing for tailor on treacherously shallow in-shore reefs from your boat:

a) 10lb leader is probably a bit under gunned, but if thats all you got go with it and be gentle

b) Have enough large jig heads so you can cast at the reef without getting too close

c) Make sure you have enough 4 - 6" paddletail lures. Snapbacks are certainly more durable than anything else I had

d) remeber a landing net as tailor teeth tend to cut through 10lb mono pretty easily when you "leader" them into the boat

e) tell your mate to keep a lid on it and not yell out "yooohooohooo" when he catches them, thereby alerting 52 boats within a 5nm radius to fish next to us on a 30m long reef.

In probably 30 - 45 minutes we hooked about 2 dozen tailor around the 45 - 60cm range between 2 of us and boated 4 through more ass than class. Through a stroke of luck(?) when the armada of boats showed up, the bite had shut down so it didn't seem that appealing a place to fish. When we left, the other boats that showed up quickly followed and tagged along behind us for a while but trying to look like they weren't following us despite looking like a convoy of boats - its amazing how the "sheep" mentality works when one goes the rest follow.....
