Rock Fishing for BIG Tailor

As the water starts to warm around our local fishing spots, the pelagic species start to show up. Our first session of the year unfortunately no kingies, tuna or mackerel but we managed to land some nice sized tailor (bluefish) the biggest going 68cm.

Nice footage. What braid and leader are you guys using?

[@kalen1rama2films]

Thanks mate, were using wft braid 32kg (70lbs) and 80 lb leader. would usually use around 30 lb and 40-50 leader if we were just fishing for tailor but we were expecting a tuna or mackerel so we were using the heavier setups
