    Chasing Tailor on goldy beaches

    Been hitting the beaches last two weeks chasing tailor with narrow neck producing two or three on a good night but still a hit or miss . Last two nights have been at the spit beaches and getting two a night with this one coming in last night 66cm hopefully it might be a good season.

    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    Thats a very nice greenback FJ. What were you using for bait?
    Can only echo your sentiments about the season ahead!

    Bait was pillies with tuna oil over them.

    Next time you go out try mullet (fillets from wollies, coles etc) for bait. I did a heaps better then pillies week before last and it lasts longer!
    What size would you start to call them greenbacks?

    Cheers, Mick.

    Excuse my stupidity lol but can someone enlighten me on exactly where Narrowneck is? I'm pretty sure it's somewhere between the spit and surfers?

    I threw some pillies around a couple wkd's ago off the end of the south wall of the seaway and couldn't buy a bloody bite lol. But I'm gonn try and drag the old man down there to do some beach fishin in the next week or two

    One thing I do is look at the surf cams to see where the good gutters are and beach coditions.
