queensland Tailor at Point Halloran

[Daryl McPhee]

I've been getting quite a few requests about how to catch tailor land based in Moreton Bay. I finally got around to filming and editing a video from the weekend. On this occasion we were fishing the flats at Point Halloran at low tide.

Hi Daryl

Thanks for that video. It was good to have some information in it too, with the rig included.

Cheers Hamish

Really enjoyed that video @Daryl McPhee. Your boys are fast becoming expert fishermen. Interesting to see that you are not fussy about tag ends on the knots. @ellicatand I saw the same thing when we caught up with @Allnighterat Blakesleys the other week.

Yep. I've never worried about trimming down the knots.

Tags ? What tags ?

Im proud of myself just for finishing tying a knot without my glasses..... 

Probably explains why i dont use 6 pound line anymore

Nice vid Darryl ! 

[Daryl McPhee]

I refer to them as knot handles.

Great video mate thanks for that. How  much water do you think you are fishing in?

DropBear. I'm probably fishing in about a metre of water on that occasion. I often fish in less at that exact location. 

 

[Daryl McPhee]

Anything more than 2 metres is generally too deep for me!

That actually flips my ideas of where to fish. Wow. Thanks. I assume it is the Westerlies that bring them in? 

[Daryl McPhee]

I get them in the shallows regardless of the wind direction. In an area there is generally more prey for a species like tailor in the shallows than the deeper water.

Great video and great fish there Daryl, really good to see. Reminds me I should get out and fish land based more often when I am too busy to take the boat out.
