Nolan Goes Beach Fishing

Happy Sunday legends took the kids quickly down for a spin very rusty on the board.

Was hard looking at the water this morning, good shape and structure with little w**d around.

Good reports last night of mulloway-smaller versions of the big girls and an abundance of healthy winter tailor were reported over the new moon period.

The first phase next week, light winds swell manageable it will fish well this week coming for sure.

If you can get out and wet a line it will be a good chance of finding some much deserved tight lines🎣.

Good cloud cover today with favourable winds should see more good fish landed over the day.

As these winter tailor are quite large please remember only 2 fish over 50cm can be taken per angler per day🎣.

I hope you have been having a great weekend so far with many tight lines and fishing stories to share.

Thanks to Salty Fishos for the tops 👌🎣.

Tight lines legends 🎣.

Happy new moon legends 🎣.

What an epic metro session.

Couldn’t sleep last night and was watching the wind very closely.

4am and I checked the weather a gentle easterly, I checked again I knew it would swing but I jumped in the car and raced down to the local beach.

4.30 I had a bait out first cast a little nudge started winding in the slack and I was on you beauty.
Next cast another fish this time a much more solid hit, I love bait casting for tailor will never get sick of that feeling of the fish hitting the bait.

At 5.05am the predicted sea breeze kicked in a moderate 15-20k I thought it will either shut the bite or I could be in for a good show here.

Over the next 1.5hrs I was lucky to land and release over 15 healthy tailor, Shore Catch fresh mullet doing the damage this morning.

The wind was challenging had to get wet to cast into it but it was all so worth it, how can you not like a sport fish that is readily accessible in the metro waters and not too bad on the chew fresh.

So a few factors that helped this mornings epic season I want to share,

Cloud cover,
Rising tide
Sea breeze which pushed the swell up
A shift in weather always seems to fire the fish up
And New moon 👌🎣

It doesn’t always pay off, but having a metro beach all to myself this morning and standing in the cold wind it was all worth it and so good for the mental health.

Returning home in a positive mindset whether fish are landed or not it’s good for the soul.

Now of course I would like to add a metro landbased snapper or mulloway but it’s all about getting out and giving it a go.

I will settle for the healthy, well conditioned tailor this time of year the average size in the 50cm range how can you complain.

Sea beeeze in all day could affect many beaches tonight and into tomorrow.

Buzzing thanks for reading and happy Saturday legends.

Tight lines 🎣.

Legends happiest Sunday I didn’t get anytime to go over the last few days some great fishing .

After Friday nights epic session I set out this morning for another crack, to find a good clean gutter.

I couldn’t sleep last night the excitement was too much I just couldn’t switch off I wanted some more tight lines.

I set off at 2.30am this morning as I wanted to give myself some time to make sure I could find a fishable gutter.

The first hour I tried with no luck so packed up and drove to plan b, having a few spots and allowing enough time to move around can be the difference from a good session to donut’s.

On the top of the high I landed a small gummy shark no meat on it so went back, next cast another smaller one it was not unusual at this location for the time of year but only babies so back they went.

On the 3rd cast I had my rod load up then go slack, a decent sark tail whipped my leader.
This is why I run 2 rods next cast surface action and the local pets, tailor had come in for an easy feed.

It was a fish a cast with most well over the 50cm range fat meaty and very healthy fish.
I like to let the breeders go especially if the hooks are able to be safely removed as these fish can hold millions of eggs.

It was another memorable session right place right time, the more time your prepared to put into a metro session you will get the rewards.

I was totally wiped out from running and landing these big fish, so I didn’t try for anything larger I was happy enough.

The fish today all preferred stationary baits Mullies, whiting and mullet there was no real preference they were hungry and very firey too🎣.

New moon next Saturday, I really like Friday night before the weather turns looks worth a cast.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend with some tight lines with family and friends.

Thanks for the support out there it is great to see so many willing to help 🙏🎣.

There is nothing wrong with letting a few fish go, these tailor are the breeding stocks our future, our kids future.

Fish Karma also isn’t a bad thing.

A great run of bigger tailor heading into spring can only get better from here 👌🎣.
