Yup...tried to re-type that person's name but again the wild characters....

Hey Niko, if you haven't already checked out beach fishing (Australia) on Youtube, I suggest that you check out those videos.There is some good ones by BCF, #%$%^&(* and Alex Bellissimo. Also some videos show you how to read a beach (finding a gutter etc). My mates and I usually fish early morning mainly using whole pilchards on ganged hooks. Lately, we started to use half pillies on single hook 1/0 or 2/0 as we got bites but couldn't hookup to the Tailors. Did fish once at Wollongong but the sea was very flat and no wind, ended up catching nothing. Try Werri Beach at Gerringong. Have had heaps of Aussie Salmon there on overcast/ slightly rainy mornings...one of the locals there told us that it fires up in the arvo as well. Also for bait try using Squid (Lund's brand) on single hook. Hope this info helps bro.

Nice catch bro...that's one mean looking snapper!

Good catch bro...but Tailors aren't bad eating...just gotta bleed em and put em on ice straight away.... I normally bake em in the oven...garlic, corriander, a bit of ginger, chillies and salt. Lightly drizzle with oil.... Can't believe you caught em on servo bait....I used em once.....fishermen next to me were catching except for me... Felt like going and throwing left over pilchard bait on the servo attendant for selling poor quality bait. From that day on...never again to servo bait...

Nice catch bro...
