tweed river tailor & trev

[gregdeeth]

hi all,

after not having much time to fish lately, i got some time today, so simonpp and i hit the tweed.

went down at about 11am in hope tide would turn the fish on, threw 5" snapback plastics around in the current and between us got a nice mixure of tailor and trevally. also lost alot of tailor due to their teeth having a bit of a disagreement with our leaders.

the tailor were good fun even putting in some nice leaps, which accounted for a couple of spat hooks.

anyway included some pics.

cheers
greg

Good work mate....Those landbased fish are always worth more than from the boat.8-)

[yellahunter]

great work Greg.

do u lose many lures to snags around the bar there

[marty_z]

Some good looking fish there Greg - plenty of size.

I am guessing if you were chasing Tailor and Trevs today (rather than pre-fishing) you are not planning to fish the Bream Summer Series tomorrow?

Hey yella,
Simon here, i'm the other guy in the photo's... yeah we do lose the odd lure there, today i had a particularly bad run and lost 3 or 4 to snags and another couple to tailor teeth. In saying that though i haven't fished it in a while and i was a bit out of tune, you get it worked out after a while and avoid the snags.

marty,
not doing the summer seriers, unfortunately my little tinnie does cut the mustard with abt requirements.
but it was nice watching some of sweet boats getting around while we were out there.

yella,
as simon siad lures do regularly find the rocks, which makes a snorkle a very worthing investment for the next days high tide.

Have been missing your reports Greg. Was starting to wonder where you were. Once again you have found the quality fish. Nice going.

[Sean]

[sharkbaithoohaha]

Nice couple of fish there guys>i havn't fished down ther in a few years,but am looking forward to it this year chasing the old Jewie.

[Matthias]

Nice fish fellas. I always see guys snorkling the wall in Winter during tailor season picking up the metals that get lost...too bloody cold for me though.

Nice fish mate. I nailed a 47cm Big Eye and 36cm GT in the current In the prefish for the ABT yesterday aswell, they go hard on 4lb main 4lb leader! Great fun though and a little hairy at times. There was alos some Tailor chasing down Simon's plastics in the canals but none connected well enough to stay hooked :( . This morning the Trevally were thick! It's a real pitty we had to avoid them for those fidgety Bream :( . Oh well ended up doing ok anyway :D .

P.S. Was one of you guys at the weigh in today?

[gregdeeth]

sean
we were using tt 1/2 ounce and 5/8 ounce depending on the current

troy
we were both down there, looks like it was another tough day on the tweed.

ps how'd you and simon go.

[Sean]

How do you work plastics with that sort of current? Do you let them sink right to the bottom and twitch them or work them faster? Thanks mate, Sean

sean,
we use a mixure of both, just keep trying new things till we find what the fish want. most often slow hops on the bottom work best

[White_Steenbras]

Great fish there guys, bet they gave a good account of themselves.

[geoff72]

now thats some great quality fish there greg you guys got,great stuff, so i take it you recommend those snapbacks.

[chief]

some real nice fish there especially landbased

[lumox]

good fish and good work. who says u need a boat to catch good fish. love love lone the sp's

[blue_mako]

We ended up for a tied 6th/7th though Marcel and Simon got 6th on a Big Bream count back. We had 5 Bream between 25 and 27cm with the biggest going 430 grams. We thought they would have weighed a bit more then 1.8kgs but it must be because they're Summer Yellowfin. Can't wait for Gold Coast round on my birthday next month :D .
