grego 0 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That could put a wa tailor to shame I reckon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kelvin 2,196 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's an awesome tailor from anywhere in Aus?Nice work AzzaWhat did it weigh/measure?Did you keep it? Fresh tailor is one of my fravourite fish to eat and something I really miss after moving to SA from the eastern states. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breambo25 1 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Awesome tailor azza. That's absolutely massive. I have heard of tailor being caught on beaches near the foot of Yorkes but never managed to catch 1 myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plankton 725 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 That's a good sized tailor, used to get ones like that back in the US where we call them bluefish, it would be great if they started to become more common in SA, great sportfish!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cal 480 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah brother I've caught one down there before but nothing like that monster you are holding.Awesome fish mate. Mine was a nice one but ashamed to put a pic up compared to that monster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spinyeel 2 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Witnessed a couple of decent Tailor,4 or 5 Kilo., caught at the Dust Hole on Yorke's a few years back. Both by my jammy mate on mono trace.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brankim 945 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Big greenback! Caught a 21cm taylor from west each boat ramp about 4 years ago fishing for bream. Same day someone got a 2 kg kingfish on spoon at Marino rocks! Best eating fish in the sea!!!! Very underrated in aus for some reason? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
