I’m not sure what other people do, but I’d target them on a lure

Most likely they will fire up at the warmies soon. Unlikely they will get to the size of yesteryear after the mass slaughter from a few years back :evil:
I agree with Shazdoggg,

I have caught Tailor around Lagoon Pier and at the Warmies during the winter months.

They need to be bled straight away and eaten within 24 hours in my opinion.

They taste great (no too fishy)

Yeah Brad, really nice fish there. What kind of lure you using in that pic ?
Thanks mate, the lure is a Bolt Taser which I think it is a Tackleworld exclusive?

I'm not a big fish eater, but that Tailor was really nice! Like Creme said, the quicker you bleed them the better it will taste

How do you bleed a fish? (Not that I'll ever need to know as I'm now 7 and 0 for sea fishing) lol

You just cut them behind the gills to the back bone or pull their heads back quickly ?

I assume releasing the blood aids the taste as it stops it from spoiling easily?

As with most animals, you want the blood out of the meat.
