If you haven’t experienced Fraser Island, now is the time to do so with the annual Tailor season well and truly underway. Their aerial acrobatics and especially their surface strikes on poppers make for plenty of enjoyment for kids and adults. Over your shoulder would be a bait bag on one side, and a fish shoulder bag diagonally across the body from the other shoulder. Tailor are great fun to hook and fight on lures. The rods are available in 10’-13’.At the moment it is quite easy to bag out on the 20 tailor per angler limit (in possession), however I keep only a few for immediate consumption. My tip is to keep a keen eye on them while they are cooking.

The only way anglers can fish here is by taking their boat to the western side of the island and walking across to the surf or fishing the northern end of South Stradbroke at the Jumpinpin Bar area.If fishing South Stradbroke, you’ll probably find you have the beach to yourself, which is great, especially when you are getting a fish a cast. More specifically they were taken on high speed chrome slices cast and retrieved from a boat positioned near to the breaking waves around Gilligans Island.

Leeann cast out the Zerek Flat Shad and Selina wound the lure back while jigging it in her own little subtle way. Dusk and dawn have always been the best time, especially when bait fishing. Waders are a must in winter. Ben Markwell repairs nets on Kirra beach. A selection of tailor lures: Spitfire Poppers, Norman Minnows and some chromed metal. If one spin reel is faster than the other then tie the chrome slice to that outfit. I must admit, when fishing South Straddie the walk across can be a bit of a killer and you really have to wear waders in winter because the sand is like ice. When soliciting information about happening locations (such as when you are buying some bait and tackle from local tackle stores) you’ll normally get details such as gutter formations and tailor schools referenced in relation to the features, such as White Rock, Eagers Creek and the dunes. At the time of writing and for some period before that, the tailor fishing has been nothing short of sensational on our southeast Queensland coastal beaches and headlands.I usually venture to Moreton Island once a year and fish for tailor, whiting, bream and flathead and do quite well using bait, but this winter I’ve been specifically targeting tailor at South Stradbroke Island. Your outfit would be a long surf rod and a 6.5" Alvey sidecast reel loaded with 15-20lb mono line.

Breaking the gill rakers with your fingers is the time honoured traditional way to bleed tailor.Cook them fresh, from the ocean if you can. The lures are then retrieved with a fair bit of speed (metal lures) or a walk-the-dog action (poppers). To date the best gutters are at the top of the island. Unfortunately, my two little ones are still a few years away from walking across and there’s no way in the world I’m going to carry them in and out!They usually stay with Leeann and the boat on the western side and cast soft plastics for flathead. My hook-up rate also improved. If there are patches of broken water around then I rip a slug or slice through/under the foam as fast as I can.

We also catch quite a few tailor by trolling hardbodied minnows along the edge of the washes or along the edge of structure, like the walls on the southern and eastern side of Mud Island. Title: Tailor rules in Queensland Author: Kristal Brown Subject: Downloadable brochure which describes the recreational fishing rules for tailor in Queensland and shows map of where Fraser Island fishing closure is in place from 1 August to 30 September each year. Fish them from the rocks or cast lures from a boat. Ross and Col landed quality tailor. The typical bait would be a WA blue pilchard on a three or four-hook gang rig using Mustad 4200 hooks in 5/0 or 6/0.Most tailor caught today would still be targeted on pillies and medium weight lead ball sinkers.

Lo and behold she caught a 50cm-plus fish that she wound to the boat.

But with this current burst of westerlies the gutters should be forming nicely right along the beach. The best wind is anything from the west including SW and NW. The traditional image of Moreton Island tailor fishing is to stand on the ocean beach, often in waders, in the cool winter/start of spring months, casting into the surf gutters with your 4WD parked up the beach behind you. I run the most productive lure on both of the boat’s troll lines.Working poppers around the shallow bait reefs (such as the coffee rock areas where yellow tail pike hang out) can also be productive. Obviously the less we bring the better ?

We stand off the rocks in the boat (good weather only) and cast lures towards the crashing surf. Would this be the same from currigee as this is where we get dropped off ? Buying metal lures can be a little more expensive, however good ones are on the market that will suit most budgets. You can also target tailor in the foaming surf on the bank edges of deep holes and gutters.Tailor should be bled immediately after capture to allow the blood to drain away from the flesh. Good fishing for chopper tailor can be had at Readers Point at the southern end and also Combie at the northern end of the island.

The tailor migrate along Moreton Island, north to Fraser Island, and then run back down along Moreton Island’s ocean beaches and through the bay.
