BAIT vs LURES! (CRAZY RESULTS!) - Perth Tailor Fishing

[@manna6618]

Ahhh this takes me back! 30yrs ago their were no wooden walkways, just sand tracks across the island and it was chocka's full of tiger snakes, they loved the seagull eggs! We used poppers so you could work the whole area, as when the sun gets up they like to hide in holes in the reef, waiting for any mullet that cruise over the reef. Back then the average size was much bigger, anything under 60cms went straight back. My pb was 81cms but saw larger fish caught by others, we called the bigger ones gatekeepers! Some seasons in winter it would be a tailor, then a salmon, then a tailor then a salmon on and on. Occasionally we'd get a sambo too but getting them past the reefs was a challenge. If you can get there before sunrise it's awesome having the penguins running down to the water between your legs, amazing stuff! Great vid guys, good to see the place still produces. :)

You always got good fish mana

[@manna6618]

@@andyk8322 thank you mate, but honestly my catches were average compared to the old boys who introduced me to the area! They used to baitcast gardies on quad gangs and big Alvey reels, even saw a Spaniard taken there once by a bloke in his 60's. Was told dhu were a regular bycatch when the whites were walking back when there were shacks on the island...in fact I have found dhu 300mts off the back when diving for Cray, so it's still a possibility.

[@Knightysfishingadventures]

Well, that brings back memories of fishing Fremantle to Lanceolin. Did a lot of Taylor fishing in the day. I enjoyed the video and how much the fishing has changed. Well, done.

[@fishwithchris03]

Those are very good Tailors guys, nicely done. Nice spot too. 🦑🐠🦑😁✌️👍

[@kookfishin]

Thanks dude!! We had a blast. How beautiful is it tho!

[@One.Castaway]

Wrap the bait with elastic cotton. We all do it here in South Africa. Keeps the bait on nicely and saves you from re-hooking the bait every time 🤟

[@JamoRox75]

So I've just moved back To WA after 23 years, my last fish was tailor of a beach in Busso..23 years ago ...and was thinking recently when I finally got back to tailor hunting, what's better, my old Halco or the mullee. Thanks dude perfect vid

[@kookfishin]

Awesome stuff man good to hear that you’re back in the best state in australia 😆 honestly it would help try both almost at all times!! I usually only fish lures because thats what i find most enjoyment in and lets be honest. Thats all fishing is about so do what makes you happy :)

[@danielkutzer9294]

I appreciate the message back mate and makes me feel better that you gave it as decent nudge as you could in the time you had shooting the video. I have never fished penguin Island, it looks like a fat spot, how can you get over there ?

[@shazandju]

Mad, just getting advice off you in the shop today, can’t believe I’ve stumbled on this. Should have just watched your vid. Cheers and good work

[@kookfishin]

How lucky is that! Hahaha was nice chatting with ya bud. Hopefully you can get onto a few 💪

[@TuanMinhPhu]

Nice vid man, good size tailor

Yeah theyre pretty chunky!! Still waiting for that 60+ tho 😆

Hey mate when fishing lures for tailor what rod and reel would you typically use?

[@pa1264]

Great video nice Tailors😁

Thanks buddy!

Bros patience 😂

[@kookfishin]

what can I say, I get too excited to fish hahahah 😂

[@James-l3k]

Did those ganged hooks have a wire trace also were you throwing the mulies unweighted?

[@kookfishin]

No wire and im pretty sure i had a very small running ball sinker otherwise unweighted would have been fine

[@James-l3k]

@@kookfishin without wire would 20lb fluorocarbon leader be fine

[@PorkHunt100]

That reef looks much the same as the reef around Point Peron, have you's ever fished that? What about Warnbro/Safety bay beach? Do they get a run through here?

[@kookfishin]

I have done a few lazy sessions at point peron to no avail. I reckon if I actually woke up earlier and fished the bite times it could have produced but its definitely not as plentiful like penguin island i can say that much. You can get the odd fish coming through anywhere but it will be hard fishing and probably plenty of donut sessions. Best bet is to try beaches like secrets or madora in some fresh slightly choppy conditions. Preferably wind from the se/sw

[@kironnoon8077]

Hi what lures are you using?

[@jasontran4648]

Great video mate! Wondering when is the good season for tailor fishing n what lures u are using in the video?

[@jw-vx8im]

Now for the season. So many lure choices

[@reecebailey-td2mi]

Awesome guys

[@jpw5029]

U ever hit the Perth beaches for tailors? I’ve never had much luck but seen a dude smashing a bag of 70cm+ units a month ago at scabs.

[@kookfishin]

Unfortunately theyre trekkss away from where i live but i would absolutely love to. Ive seena few post from the nor blokes and yeah they pull them in like crazy!

[@4wd-traveling826]

Hey mate, Where about is this place and what time and season is the best thinking of going next week, what spot do you reckon I should go? Cheers

[@kookfishin]

Generally all through winter and spring you get good runs of tailor in many places as far as i am aware. Winter can be a little harder to find a decent enough day to get out there so for me i do most of my tailor fishing early spring. This place is located in shoalwater but can be very difficult to find the right day to fish. Other places nearby can be point peron as an easier alternative

[@kironnoon8077]

Where abouts on penguin island is this?

[@joshbee5901]

Ferry not running mate? Looks like a sweet morning

[@kookfishin]

Nah man they pushed it to mid October unfortunately. Yeah she was definitely a good one!

[@ciscoenzo6827]

what leader you use?

[@eminhodzic4256]

You should try ganged hooks with a treble on the end for a better hook up but love the video

[@kookfishin]

Ive heard of the ol treble on the back trick. Pretty sure it is considered illegal tho? Otherwise it doesn’t really concern me as 99% of the time im using lures anyways. I just fished bait for the video so my mate could get on with some lures :)

[@lucassellwood]

what is the best times to fish here.

[@kookfishin]

Winter bro but very deadly getting over

[@jw-vx8im]

​@@kookfishinsome have sadly died trying

[@rudys138]

where is this location mate? im new in Perth

[@pabloeskybruh7154]

Hey guys I'm new to fishing and live here in Perth too, what do you look for in the weather when going fishing in terms of swell and wind direction ? Would really appreciate the help as it's one of my dreams to catch and eat a fish (literally)

[@kookfishin]

I usually look for light Easterlys. Swell does not really concern me especially in summertime. But take what you can get here as usually around 11-12 we get a very strong south westerly wind howling through know as “the fremantle doctor” fishing here is all trial and error so go as often as you can and it will work eventually

[@pabloeskybruh7154]

@@kookfishin right so is that because the easterly wind pushes the fish closer to our western border ? Would this theory work for say positioning yourself on the swan river

[@PaulAbbott-um3kh]

What sort of lures are they using?

[@Bas1l-h]

Awesome work bro what’s the best time and tides for them ? Couldn’t get a single take on bait or lure today

[@kookfishin]

Honestly its been so hard to find that information out. I was under the impression that incoming tide would be the best but they where biting all through the incoming, during the slack and after the outgoing 😆 maybe it was just one of those days

[@xpeyote886]

Best thing with lures, you can fish ALL DAY without needing to leave for more bait haha

[@bradhile5031]

What’s sticking out the side of you reel man

[@kookfishin]

its a livre reel balancer. it helps with evenly distributing the weight so it eliminates wobble when winding but i think its a little gimmicky, i havnt really gone out of my way to see if that is true or not. theyre perfect for placing your reel down to prevent scratches and personally i love how they look. i love to customise my reels so it doesnt look like everyone elses

You can walk over the sand bar if you get the right tide

[@spencermilton3299]

Yo dude just wondering what rod you were using

[@kookfishin]

I was using a G-CRAFT SEVEN-SENSE SR Mid Water MWS-872-SR. Got it shipped over from japan. Absolute awesome rod i had to buy another but slightly taller

[@ilegallaws3741]

Are you guys walking it or kayak? Been meaning to go there what time do you usually get there? You guys are always making great videos? Love ya stuff mate

[@kookfishin]

Just walking across man. Probably one of the chillest walk across ive had hey. Usually get down to the beach at 7am because i am lazy when it comes to waking up super early. Really appreciate it man those are the comments that keep me making these videos hahaha

[@Side85Winder]

Yoy have to fish the species and conditions that are presented. Tailor just love flashing moving small bait fish. A small metal slug lure will do it every time. The general best choices a the metal slug and like a halco twisty.

[@Muffinsmixtapes]

Could u let me know what beach this is I wanna go for a fish there

Crossing the sandbar or catching the ferry man 😁

[@diegooli3]

Where is this spot?

[@slashtonio9216]

Penguin Island it’s an Island very close to shore, and if you go at the right time you can walk across a sand bar onto it.

[@ten8174]

can u share me that location?

[@danielkutzer9294]

The challenge was void as you only had 3 lots of gangs with ya. I feel that there was alot of bias for lures and bait was unfairly represented. As a kid all I did was use bait to catch my fish and caught some monster fish. Sorry if I come across negative, I just hoped for a better representation of both tackle options so it accurately reflects the actual result.

[@kookfishin]

to be honest here with you mate there was a lot of fishing done while the cameras where not running. i had plenty of casts with bait and barely any attention at all while my mate using lures would get constant hook ups. safe to say on THAT particular day the lures where the better option. could be because they where casting further as i only had an unweighted rig? who knows, you just cant predict these things or exactly put your finger on the exact cause for things like this. it isnt exactly a video i made to DIRECTLY talk about what works better. sure the title states "BAIT vs LURES" but its more for a little bit of fun with a good mate of mine and a good excuse to get out of the house and take a camera with me and to have something to talk about. i would definitely love to make a video in the future putting both to the true honest test but to be honest with you that is almost impossible to successfully test since there are too many things that come into play. but regardless i hope you did enjoy the video and can look passed the title. cheers
