Thanks Drop Bear!

Hey Drop Bear, I think it is only on the northside of Brisneyland but you can hear it anywhere through that weblink. Daryl

For those on the northside of Brisbane, join me Sunday morning with Tahlia Lovell on 99.7 Bridge FM between 9 and 12 where I will be Talkin’ Tailor – the biology and ecology of tailor and how to catch them in Moreton Bay and in the surf. I will have a few tips from my 30 years of fishing for them including how to consistently catch them in the Bay, what to look for in surf gutters and how surf gutters form. If you are elsewhere I think you can also listen to it through this link: http://997fm.com.au/TuneinPopup.html?

I don't think they do podcasts unfortunately.....

99.7 Bridge FM on Sunday between 9 and 12. I will continue with some history of Moreton Bay this Sunday and a bit of a fishing report and do tailor the week after at this stage.

Hey Drop Bear. I will do a radio segment on tailor either this week or next week.

I haven't been able to get out much over the last few months for a fish, but found some time to chase a land based feed at Point Halloran on Friday night. The bites were fairly steady during the tide cycle with the exception of the usual lull around the top of the tide. We ended up with a good mixed bag with some nice fish in the mix (only the best of each species are in the photo). Yabbies and worms accounted for the whiting and bream and small blue pilchards for the tailor and flathead. It was a good haul overall. We backed up for a session the next night at Sandgate. The wind proved to be a problem early, but we still managed to add a few more tailor and bream to the weekend's catch. Not much size to the tailor at Sandgate on this occasion.

Well done. Much needed.

You need to be aware that you are only allowed to catch and retain one Live Fibre rod per person per trip. There is no minimum size though.
