Hi Smasher I get them from Compleat angler in Villawood. They are $1 each. And they are the larger ones.

I'm sorry this is a bit late. Just haven't had a chance. But... Here's the pic of the catch that night. My mate who couldn't come that night still thinks I went to the fish market. HAHAHA

Hey MerryFisher. Can I ask, did the sounder look like this? We went about 2 weeks ago and this is what the sounder was showing. All we pulled up was 2 small taylor.

Hi everyone. This is my first post back. My old log in was not working so got a new one. Anyways. I hit the hawkesbury in our special hairtail spot close to Jerusalem bay. Got there around 11:30pm I didn’t even get to the spot I wanted when I noticed the sounder going crazy. Hairtail I though. Why not. Let’s try it. First cast. Bang. Hairtail on. Not the biggest but it was a start. Threw in some Berley. Next cast. Bang. Another. Then for the next 30 minutes I kept getting hits and missing. In total I landed 6 at this stage. Next minute. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I was like. Wow!!! thought yes. Jewfish. Nope was the biggest tailor I’d ever seen. Massive. So big I though it was a salmon at first After that I had a huge take. I actually thought it snagged the bottom. Finally realised it was a hairtail. Managed to get it to the boat and in. Grabbed him and went to knock him on the head. Hit my hand with the gaff. Yep. Off the the hospital for stitches what ch ended my hot streak. Anyways in total I think I got 8 hairtail and 1 tailor I’ll post some photos when I get home. Finer details. Depth was 14.5m temp 16.8 deg Celsius depth of fish, between 5 and 12 meters only hitting baits either right under the boat or around 5m Bait used, pilchards on 4 gang hooks with red glow stick only had the one rod in the water tide, on the rise time, arrived 11:30ish departed 01:05
