Hillaries
went out to the hillaries lightouse fishing into the marina after work yesterday. it was howling a gale but the lighouse blocked most of the wind. was pretty quiet with a only a few herring caught around the place. about 3ish it went real quiet and then bait fish started jumping everywere!!!! decided to switch from floating lures to baitcasting mulies and had a few hits but no hookups. The next few castys were the same but then i had a few BIG bangs and then i got a solid hookup! i played it for about 10 minutes forgetting to adjust the drag. iwas about to adjust the drag and the top gang got bitten clean off. im still puzzled about what it was and ive narrowed it down to 5 possible fish
1)Tailor
2)Salmon
3)Shark
4)Sambo
5)Bonito
ps) sorry about the long post ;)

Fight!
How was it fighting mate? I think it could be a good Tailor. Stirred up water equals Tailor.
I had a miserable day yesterday up at Mindarie. Only had a follow from a Tailor behind my Popper and that was it. So I switched to baitcasting mulies and got some respectable size Herrings. No Tailor but.
Thanks.

I know exactly what it was....
.... a learning experience.
Lessons like that suck in the metro too because it might be a while before you get another chance.
