Looking at the forecast on Friday night , geez you'd be excused for thinking to do something other than fishing with 25-30k winds predicted. Though come Saturday morning the weather dudes look like they might have got it wrong. You woildn't trust it though, so I decided to keep todays venture closer to home in case it all went belly up.
After thinking about missed opportunities from last weekend I decide to make a go of the Warmies. Arrive circa 9.00am, high tide was at 7.30 so I already know I'm behind the eightball, wind is bordering on being a pain, but I'm here now so lets drown some bait.
Moved around perhaps 3-4 times during the next 2 hours, trying to locate some action, and truth told it was very very ordinary. A few nibbles, but no bang bang bites which is what I was hoping for. 11.30AM rolls around and I'm thinking its time to break down the kit and head home when the tiddler rod buckles over. After a short but eventful fight up surfaces a 42cm Tailor, I waste no time landing him cause I knew he'd saw his way through the light leader if I mucked around too much.
Thinking where there is one there should be more I quickly get the lines back in hopeeful for a repeat performance.....and nope. Just the one. So pack it in, and back in the car homeward bound by 12.30. Not a great outing, very slow, but didn't go home empty handed. Happy Days.

Well done. Good effort! Schools used to turn up regularly when the station was pumping out warm water, but I believe that's a rarity nowadays. Similar to salmon or mullet, they usually aren't alone. They put up a good account of themselves, and are a favourite for the mighty jew.

Nice report and pics mate!
That’s a decent size tailor. As it has been mentioned I used to get them ages ago when the power station was working!
Well done. Nice work :thumbsup:
