How to Catch Tailor - Beach Fishing

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.

[@danenorris9874]

Hey when he says "waves break" does it mean look where the waves are forming or crashing?

[@rickseifert5139]

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.

[@alt7488]

get one quick they are ceasing production in australia

[@brubaful]

Agree, I get 7 Alvey's reels and I wouldn't have anything else. A french fisherman.

[@rickseifert5139]

I have 4 Alvey reels now in my collection, one of which is over 30 yrs old made from original fibreglass and has the stainless steel back cover plate. It still works in perfect condition, I have plans to buy more Alvey reels and custom Alvey rods for them so I can pass them down to my children and grand children in future years.

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.

do we get tailor in South Australia? Never seen one but the map at the start suggests so?

[@mattspinaze15]

Its a wonder BCF have left this vid up, seeing how they don't carry Alvey anymore

[@Fucktardf]

well the vids more about fish than the reels lol

[@glenbuyer8738]

They have a basic range still

[@mattspinaze15]

@@glenbuyer8738 yeah, they do now - but they dropped Alvey when they were in financial trouble -only got them back once Alvey were viable again.

[@zacjohnson8404]

how do tailor taste and whats the best way to kill them and keep them? cheers

[@harleyharris472]

+Zac Johnson I've heard they're really good eating and the best way to kill then is a firm knock to the head, or spiking their brain. Then cut their gills and bleed them in an ice slurry.

[@adamc6468]

Zac Johnson I always catch taylors there beautiful tasting fish!

[@rickseifert5139]

Tailor are excellent tasting fish, bleed straight away after catching and put into ice slurry, keeps flesh firm and fresh.

[@rockyshorestackle2489]

keep them up to 20" length, bleed and right away on ice. fillet at home then: salt + pepper, flour, eggwash, panko crumbs, deep fry. taste great! we catch them on buctails and trailers out in NY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWrWpoiif8ubqKs tins will get them also. you need a lure that will not get destroyed by the teeth ...

[@mirlo5159]
