How to Catch Tailor - Beach Fishing

Publicado 2014-07-08
Tailor are one of the most underrated fish that can be caught land-based, and in this video Nige shares his quick guide on the techniques he uses to land this super fun (and delicious) fish!

In this video, Nige covers:
- The ideal time and locations to catch tailor. The best places are shallow water with banks or gutters running in and out of them. The ideal time to fish for tailor is during low tide or at night.
- When bait fishing, use a 12-foot plus surf rod, and an Alvey sidecast reel. You can cast your bait to the far end of the gutter and then slowly retrieve it back to shore, pausing every five to ten meters.
- When using lures or metal slugs, use sturdy spinning setup. You want to use a mixture of slugs in the 50g - 90g range. these lures are best retrieved quickly with a pause to let it sink every few seconds.

    Finally a bloke who uses a real reel, an Alvey, the best aussie reel in the world. Top video, great info, thanks for the upload and share. Ps, I have a number of Alvery reels, all well used and still going strong.

    do we get tailor in South Australia? Never seen one but the map at the start suggests so?
  • @chepachii
    I never let the lure sink to the bottom then wind in like mad and then pause in the surf with metals, nor seen anyone else.Complicating things this bloke,all it takes is a good cast then a nice steady retrieve.

    I can't use that Tiny sinker will move around , = weed and can't cast far enough
  • @mattspinaze15
    Its a wonder BCF have left this vid up, seeing how they don't carry Alvey anymore
