Tailor and Dart and Cabarita

[Daryl McPhee]

HI all,

With the weather prediction and tides on Saturday, I decided to slip in a short session beach fishing in northern NSW. I decided before I left that Cabarita Beach would be my destination. Despite the favourable weather and tides, I was greeted with a lot more sweep than expected. With a keen eye though, it is often the case that you can find a location in a formation where the sweep is a bit less, or where it works for you. After a little bit of investigation, I found such a spot and using the light gear, it soon became apparent that there were plenty of dart in residence. I only wanted a few to take home, and after about half an hour I had what I wanted and had thrown back a few more as well. A swap to the tailor gear landed nothing until I moved about 500 metres up the beach. In the new location, a tailor was nailed first cast. Around dusk I nabbed a feed of tailor and let a few more fish go. The bite went cold quickly after dusk and while I suspected they would lob at a spot in the formation as the tide came in, I switched back to the light gear to try and find some bream, whiting or tarwhine. A move to a number of likely spots yielded no fish at all.

All in all it was a short little session that produced a feed, and with the exception of the ill-fated hunt for some bream et al., it proved productive.

nice on Daryl. Were there nice gutter formations there? I went with Angus a few weeks ago and the gutters that were there the week before had moved on.

The formations were good but not great. They were much better in far northern NSW across the board before that last bit of heavy weather.
