Hi all, just got back from my holiday at Tin Can Bay and ready to book my next holiday. Given that the tailor season is coming up I’m thinking of booking a house at Eurong. Been there before and enjoyed it. So my question is, when do you think the best week is to book. The end of August? Early September? And if anyone else is interested in booking another house let me know. 
cheers

Greg

Have a look at the tides and time your trip around what you plan to do up there. Ie there’s no use in getting to the barge at 7.00am with a big high tide at 8am.iIf the tides dropping you can easily follow it up and down the beach but if it’s half way in and rising it’s hard going in some places. I always go up there around mid August and there’s always lots of tailor to be had then.

Ideally if your fishing and not touring the island ,if you can jag a week before the new moon in mid to late August  ,with low tide at about 4am , no weed , a light westerly wind you should get plenty of what your after👍with a few quality ones thrown in.When conditions are good the tailor bite all day , these were caught mid morning on  85g Raider lures mid August last year .

Great post mate. 

Some really nice fish there too!!!

I hope to do Fraser this year... my plans for Feb trip were all put on ice due to the closure of the campsites....

Okay. So I looked at when all those criteria align and the next time seems to be mid to late 2324. So I’ve booked for then. But they said they couldn’t guarantee the daily cost for some reason.
