5 lb tailor

[carnster]

Caught this 65cm tailor on a popper at night off the rocks just ten mins drive from my house. I also caught a 58cm tailor on a pillie. No luck with the jewies on hard bodies but I will try again soon (full moon approaching).

Excellent, well done Carnster,

I guess this one was like a speed train with a few good head shakes.

What type of surface popper was you using?

Nice fish mate, there have been some absolute monsters down this way in the past month.....yes deepfried they're still choppers at 5kg+:tongue:

Mate nice fish but dont childers much he will go and catch them all on you the way he has been going lately. That photo makes it look better than 5lb for sure

haha.

they have to classed a greenback at some point ? :undecided: too big for a livie at 5lb surely. maybe that should be your new classification. live bait size is a chopper, over live bait size is a greenback ?

Please send address, phone number, bait you used, exact place you caught 'em, GPS co-ords preferable and when you can take me there fishing!!

Nah scott 5lb is ok for a big mack...hard to cast though. Had one about that big eaten at Iluka a few years back, never saw the fish, 30minutes on 15kg, had it at the rocks down deep a rush of blood and the line popped. Have a look at the mack on Bretts wall, it would have no prob eating a 5lb tailor....yes they are greenbacks at that size... greenback choppers :grin:

nice one Chris ..... looks way bigger than 5lb in the pic :-)
..... just more proof that the Goldie still has the goods !!

Hope the marking gets done so you can get back to the Jew-hunt!!
Will let u know when I head out again.
There is HEAPS of bird/bait action off all the beaches at the mo .... was at a fundraising walk all day from Southport to Cooly, and it was working almost all the way down the coast :-)
Now all I need is a gap to get down there!!

Double-yoo - OH - Double-yoo, spells WOW!

You lucky duckies.... I'm o/s for work just now & won't be hitting the coast until July. At least I'll get to wet some line over July-August.

Just hope you blokes leave some in there for me to catch.

I remember this time last year, all the threads were saying "Where are the tailor?"

So, I wonder what's so different this year to make them be around in numbers...
