Nice collection. Which beach do you think would be the best to target tailor from? The range is listed as East of Wilsons Prom, is there a preferable area between the Prom and Mallacoota or is it kinda "find a bit of beach and hope they are there"

Can't help you with where to target them but I find statements of range like the one above to be intriguing. A decision has obviously been made somewhere to say that is their range yet despite this I and many others have caught them outside of this natural range, admittedly there are unnatural explanations for why they occur at certain locations but they have to get there somehow and that is a large distance for schools to venture out of their range by for something that I'm fairly certain they wouldn't be able to sense the presence of from east of the prom. It makes you wonder how much we really understand about our fishery.

Nhills got one at Martha last year I think. In the 90's they were at the Warmies weekly.

I dunno where that range came from either.

yeah i don't know where they get that rubbish from as they are an international spices and will show up anywhere.

i just spin around paynesville when its to rough for the boat and if it's good out in lake vic , king , bancroft bay

They get them in the 'nong from time to time too.

I used to get them off station pier as well. Been years now since I fished there though.
