Good catch of tailor and bream there Shane. Were the tailor working in schools with birds or just cruising around molesting anything in thier path?

[robersl]

Hi Jack they just molest anything in there path we had a triple hook up at 1 stage but tim dropped his fish
pound for pound these bigger 40-50cm fish go harder than barra and fight all the way to the boat

Thats a great haul of Tailor you managed to pick up. Were they all on trolled baits

[Cody]

Good stuff Shane, how far were you trolling off the mud in the shallows or a bit deeper? good stuff might have to go out there and see if I can troll some up on hardbodies.

[sandbankmagnet]

why would you need to keep that many fish!

Jokes Shane ;)

Have you fished the passage lately? Reports of good bream and flatties up there. How are you going with your gun spot now a green zone in there? Discovered new ground?

Very nice catch and a good tactic if the snapper dont play the game, just wondering whats the best to troll, minnows or a silver slug?, cheers and thanks in advance..

Hey mate,

Great catch, that bream in the first photo looks massive!!! It might be just the angle but looks good.

Just a query on the trolling, do you use a weight to keep the baits in a certain column or just unweighted and vary the speed?

Cheers

Bermo

[robersl]

all trolled at the slowest speed on a 40 hp yamaha with a pea sinker above the hooks to keep the bait just under the surface the smallest bream was 32cm
