queensland Tailor and Flathead this Week

[Daryl McPhee]

It was a good week’s fishing in Moreton Bay chasing a few tailor.

Started on Monday night at Redland Bay. Bites were few and far between but the tailor were good quality.

Moved to Point Halloran on Tuesday night. Plenty of bream and a few small legal flathead and a couple of tailor there too. Most of the bream were only around 27 cm so no big fish.

Shorncliffe foreshore was very slow on Wednesday night. Only a couple of just legal tailor that were released and a solid but solitary flathead.

Thursday night it was back to Redland Bay and a good little burst of nice tailor early, along with another solid flathead meant for an early night.

There are no secret spots, good fish are widespread this time of the year along the western foreshore for those with an understanding of the species and their movements that put in the effort.

The best tailor was about 53 cm. Most of our fish were around the 48 to 50 cm mark, so pretty good fish.

You've certainly got the landbased fishing sussed out, Daryl. Some quality fish there.

Nice job on the tailor - I've never tried for tailor land based other then on the beach at the spit.

Hi Daryl

That is a few awesome sessions, nice work! I am going to purchase a new reel to go on a surf rod - I will have to try it out somewhere like that.

Just a couple of questions. 

1. What bait are you using? 

2. What rig are you using.

Thanks,

Hamish

We fish with pillies and a 3 x 3/0 hooks with a preference for chemically sharpened ones. We did a video of today's session which will show the rig etc.
