Off Landsborough Avenue Scarborough. That kids park with the big trees. I haven't fished there for about 15 years, but used to get bream and squire near the rocks marked. Flathead and whiting along the rest of the beach. Also pulled a massive stone fish there too.

Leader I usually have around a rod length
high tide I fish near to the shore on the Brighton side 
z man plastics 
daiwa double clutch and atomic slim twitcher hard bodies 

I fish the pine quite a bit more towards the mouth. 
Run out tide definitely plastics 1/6 or 1/4 depending on how fast it’s heading out. Z man plastics most colours, bright colours when it’s sunny dull in low light. 
hard bodies on high tide around the bridges 
daiwa double clutch 95mm are always good 
started lure fishing around 7-8 years ago after being a bait fisho and won’t be going back to bait. 
persistence is the key and a lot of trial and error working out what is best and when, have a variety of colours and styles of lure 
good luck

Back in the olden days I did ok on the choppers in these spots. Mostly late afternoon, with a rising tide, higher they better. Gang with garfish or pillies. But a flasher would do the trick too.

Fishing reports- you're on the right site for sure mate. Weather I just go to ' gold coast weather ' and for tides....willy weather has good local tide times but ignore their wind and rain forecast.

Heya Grmby
I've never even caught one, but apparently the table qualities are very much increased if:
- Eaten fresh
- Bled straight away
- Iced straight away
Cheers Hamish

As @AUS-BNE-FISHO said, make sure you bleed them straight away. My 2 favs for tailor are:
1. Cleaned and cooked whole over coals on the campfire same day you caught it or next day. 
2. Filleted and then make little alfoil parcels. One fillet per parcel. On each side put a thin layer of tomato, a thin layer of basil and a few drops of Tabasco sauce. Cook 2 minutes per side on BBQ or pan.
I think they are underated as a table fish.  Hope this helps.

I think there are two important things to consider:
What you have confidence/faith in Understanding what braided lines are I'm no expert here and could be wrong, but what I've gleaned from my own research and discussions with more knowledgeable folk is all Dyneema, Spectra and PE lines are ultimately made from the same material: Polyethylene. 
Generally speaking, the key differences between the brands and models are the number of strands (carriers), how tightly they're woven and coatings. This can be important: higher strand count will result in a rounder, smoother feeling line that can improve castability, but each individual strand becomes easier to cut resulting in less abrasion resistance.
Given the same material, you will find that the most important element for strength is diameter; most lines will break at fairly comparable ratings for a given thickness.
The difficulty in understanding braid is compounded by a lack of consistency in measuring methods. For example PowerPro (as with a lot of USA products) will be rated at 30lbs breaking strain, which includes a terminal knot. Whereas some other braids (Gosen is possibly a good example) which will be rated at 30lbs breaking strain, being the mainline with no knot. That difference is important because knots are the weak point - 30lbs Gosen is probably more akin to 20~25lbs PowerPro. 
This is where comments about "J-Braid is strong" come about (and I don't mean this as a point to you Hamish). Yes, it is strong, because it's thick.
Then you have JDM which are PE# based being a measure of thickness. When you consider above and appreciate that Brand A PE#2 will likely break about the same as Brand B PE#2, then it starts to make sense...  The challenge is a lot of consumers are in the "xx lbs" mindset, and so comparing Brand C's PE2 30lbs to Brand D's PE3 30lbs will almost always result in a "Brand D braid is strong".
As for wind knots, they are often user error:
Not spooling line correctly. I'm a firm believer of spooling baitcasters with a pencil through the spool and spinning reels with the spool resting label up on the ground. The whole idea here is doing it the wrong way can introduce twists into the line and a lifetime of wind knots. Line not being spooled with enough tension - including winding on slack during fishing. If not careful, winding in slack line with offshore drifts of plastics can result in loose loops forming... This can then result in wind knots. Personally, I prefer PowerPro (original, superslick v2) and J-Braid (x8 or Grande). Not because I think they're amazing line, but I'm used to them and know what I'm getting and what they can withstand.

Opinions on best braid for light lure fishing, 
flathead, trevally bream tailor etc
usually go with sunline, have found it fairly good, wondering if there is better option
 

I’ve got in top in it of once
