- G'day Fisho's, This week I spend a couple of afternoons/evenings chasing big tailor from the beach. The first trip starts well but the fishing slows right down, Luckily on the second trip the tailor are running hot! Not better way to spend a few hours then staring into the surf with an Alvey in hand!

Happy Sunday fisho’s!! It’s no secret I love my tailor fishing, I wanna know what your PB tailor is and what you caught it on!?! Time to make me jealous! 😂🍻🍻
65cm tailor off the rocks. By all means not the biggest tailor, but off the rocks id say is a solid effort. Love your videos sammy keep me sane until restrictions are over
69cm tailor on a live rabbit 🐇
68cm, 3x4/0 gangs and a whole pillie
52cm trolling a Samaki pacemaker 140 in yakka
48cm whole pillie off the brake wall
Noticed that both evenings you started fishing before dark. I think especially for new fishos it is a good tip to start before you lose light for some reason you know where to cast and how the waves and currents are working and after the light is gone it takes the guesswork out of it. I like the fact your old man goes with you too, just special.
Thanks for another great video Sammy. Certainly whets the appetite for some beach fishing- warm turning cool sea, cool but light westerlies blowing, an incoming tide and chucking pillies out to the sandbank! One of the great life experiences you can't miss out on! The fish are just the icing on the cake.
Jetfisher 100%% mate! Not better place to be! 🍻🍻
Great video Sam. Some good memories of our little adventure. Looking forward to seeing you get a horse greenback this year.
Feel so good bro watching you fishing with your dad, God bless you, this is cycle of life, you take your kids for fishing , then your kids take you for fishing , blessings 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching mate 🙌🙌🙌
As I live quite a ways from the sea and the next one I can get too isn't that hot, I'm super keen on hopefully getting to surf fish in Australia one day. My dream place to visit!
Love the beach and the serenity of fishing after dark, spent so many nights around Pottsville and Hastings point in late 80s fishing for Tailor, its all so good except for the eating quality , I rate Tailor as cat food sadly, and I don't like smoked fish so all mine get to live for another day.
alleycat Ahh well it’s not for everyone. Still a great sports fish 🍻🍻
Hahhaha..Terry..good to see you mate....have fun with your boy! Nature...
Sammy that rig is mint. Not just the rod & reel combo, but the 6/0 swivel & star sinker set up. I use the bell shape similarly to your stars. Noice choppers you and the Phantom nailed, times to treasure with your Dad mate 👍✌
Paul W Cheers Paul! Yeah it’s always good to get back out on the beach with the old boy for a cast. Yeah I’ve found that star sinker rig is awesome for the nights with the sweep is really bad! Holds a lot better! Cheers for tuning it! 🍻🍻🍻
That lure is killer mate, tailor lollies! such a great bonding experience with your old man
Been waiting for this video all day!
Sam.the.fisherman Cheers legend! Hope your liked it 🍻🍻
Sam.the.fisherman haha legend! 🍻🍻
I always use star sinkers off the beach. Great vid once again
Leggz They work a great when the sweep is bad don’t they 👌👌
Any chance of getting a review on the stealth rod? It looks the goods and i can't wait till it hits my local shop but always good to hear someones elses thoughts.
My father passed away 20 years this September I have all the fibreglass Jarvis Walker rods and Alvey reels I was taught to fish with as a child growing up in rural Victoria, I was the only child in a family of 4 kids that was mad keen on fishing and spent a lot of time on the local waters. Fishing with your father brings back so many great memories make the most of time you both have.
Your posts make me so envious of where you live. Keep them coming!
GrandPoobah Fishing nothing better then fishing with the old man. Something I hope to do with my kids as well one day 🍻🍻
72 cm tailor is best one I’ve got, caught it off the front of sandstone point at bribie on the flats with my old man in our boat.
Awesome video ticked all the boxes on beach fishing and using the Alvey even better
Love watching well done 👍
Happy Sunday indeed mate, good stuff as always!
A Master Fishing cheers mate, appreciate it 🍻🍻
Great Video! Yep everyone has an old Alvey story!! Great story about those 2 reels.. Nice Dart! some awesome taylor... Ive only caught low 40cm... best I did was fishing with my father when he was alive ... he'd never seen a ganged hook... he couldnt believe I was going to use a whole pilcahrd as bait... neither of us had ever caught a taylor... as soon as I hooked the first taylor ... he said "change my hooks son... ill try those gang things... we caught about 10 and a nice flatty... of north burleigh 20 years ago..
Patrick Gunston that’s awesome mate! Glad you old boy came round to the Ganges hooks in the end 🤣🤣 you might have to get back out there and have a crack see if you can up that PB 🍻🍻
Very fond memories of catching taylor when I was a teenager off the bridge over Lake Illawarra (south of Wollongong). Using white-bait my brother and I caught 35 taylor in a session of about an hour and a half. My mother even pitched in with a fish or 2. I remember it clearly because one of them bit my finger as I was taking it off the line for her. None of them the equal of your beast but they were sweet eating.
63off that’s still a cracking session! Well done mate 👌👌🍻🍻
Luv yr shows
Nice Fish Sammy.
Used to love my tailor fishing. We used to use alveys with braid and a running star sinker setup. We used the fly fishing finger gloves with a small patch of leather sewn on. Improved hook ups immensely you could feel them chewing on the cut baits. Casts a lot longer too. Give it a go you won't be disappointed.
Leigh Morris I might have to mate! Sounds like the go 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing also we had the star sinker sitting on a short length of leader so the sinker and bait were the same. Helps casting and no helicopter ing
We wait to watch you every Sunday - even on Mother's Day. 👍👍
Haha cheers guys! Hope you enjoyed it! 🍻🍻
love your work. great vid again. green back for days to come. love the sound of that, too bad if i didn't though. HAAHAHAH. great to see ya Dad again still showing ya how it's done.
simon lee hahah bloody oath mate! He reckons he gets better with ages 🤣🤣
Awesome session.
Legend Sammy......my old boy still got an Alvey......gonna check it out tomorrow 😎
Jeff Hornek haha nice mate! You might need to see if it still works for him 😉🍻🍻
Can u recommend good beach to fish for tailor in goldcast and noosa thanks
Hey mate, whats the tube attached to the running star sinker?
That's an unusual surf caster set up Sammy. It like an oversize fly reel . I have not seen that set up before not even here in NZ. If I go beach fishing we use a spin reel with 14 to 16ft rod
The Smurf They are very common over here. Virtually indestructible reels, hold a stack of line and are great for casting! 🍻🍻🍻
Goodies mate
I use those sinkers at the spit but a running leader with sliding swivel and sinker at bottom of leader
Samy can u tell me where is the beach
Im really really love fishing 😀
Another species for my Australia pending list ! Very cool fishing mate, I'm always fascinated by surf fishing, nothing like we got here in landlocked country haha
LessTalk MoreFishing It’s great fun mate! Very relaxing as well!
Hubby n son were out fishing at secret spot caught heaps big bream and whiting. One measured 46cm unreal fish good eating
me and my dad has seen you before on a little green boat in the passage going out we were on an old boat so i dont think you can remember
Great vid again. Well done.
I reckon Alvey should hook your dad up with a complimentary rod/reel combo as well since he's such a loyal user.
And on a side note, that mackerel wall mount looks EPIC!!!
boostjunky24 hahah I think the old boy is pretty happy using his old gear. He’s set in his ways, but I don’t reckon he would say no if the offer came up 😉😉
Cheers mate, it came up a treat hey!
Hi Sammy, keep up the good work buddy, your videos are awesome!!! You guys are lucky to still be able to fish, here in S.A. we not allowed with our lockdown😭😭
JP Pagel cheers mate! Hopefully you guys can get back out there soon! Surely not much longer?
@@SammyHitzkeFishing I doubt it hey, probably not for another month or 2, been in lockdown since March 27 so I'm really itching to get back out for a reef session.
Great work Sammy. Nothing wrong wth a beach fish. Thanks for the vid.
Peter M Cheers Pete, yeah mate it’s been great getting back into it. Getting back to my roots 🍻🍻
Yep! Very little cost, no boat clean, it’s a great way to relax if you ask me. And catching a feed, bonus! Tell me how was the beach cart, did the wheels bog down with all that weight?
Peter M mate it was pretty good! Soft sand it does drag a bit but heaps easier then carrying all the gear!
I love watching your videos mate, I'm learning heaps and I can't wait to get out and have a crack myself.
I don't know if I should use them being that their so old but mother has several rods and Alvey reels that my grandfather used. She said she'd give them to me.
I think I'll have them restored if need be and display them.
Appreciate it mate!
I reckon you should just display the old reels! Would be a shame to damage them just for the sake of fishing with them!! 🍻🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing your right, I'll fix them up and create a display at home.
Cheers again for great content, I'm recovering from surgery at the moment and your channel is keeping me company.
Cheers again, tight lines mate 👍
Cracking way to fish mate, can’t wait for winter!
Jordan Garnsworthy Surely it’s only going to get better!
Those tru turn hooks are the BEST only hooks i use
If I am not mistaken we call them bluefish along the coast of the USA. We catch them much larger though. I have caught them up to 15 pounds. A very hard fighting fish.
Bloody good stuff mate! Trying to get some tips from your vid. Went beach fishing last week and didn’t get a thing. Looked like no-one did that morning though so I don’t know what the problem was.
The biggest fish that li caught off the beach was an Australian Salmon at over 65 cm it Put up a good Fight and i was at it again the following week with another big fish but I think I will stick to fishing for whiting they are excellent to eat compared to other fish and they love beach worms. Great video it up.!!
my pb is 72 cm on whole pilchards at handkerchief beach on a 7ft rod!!! :)
Wow thats funny,here on the east coast of the USA we call them Bluefish and they get up to 20 pounds and larger and they are very ferocious and we also call the big ones chopper blues!!!!
How's the tru-turn hooks are tbey any good? Have never used them but thought to try it sometime
Yeah mate they are a good Hook. Nice and sharp 👍
Dear sammy I am very excited😁 to watch your video.
Haitham al-hashmi thanks mate! 🍻🍻
Crackin vid mate. Well done on the big 60+
Snagd Fishing Cheers bro, gotta hunt down a 70 now, then 80, 90 so on and so forth.
@@SammyHitzkeFishing haha the never ending chase! Love it...lool forward to the footage.
What is your bait to catch tailor?
How to you sharpen your knives. They just glide through the fish
Eli Kingston gotta keep them sharp! I use a steel and a nirey sharpener 🍻🍻
Hey mate, I have a few questions for tailor fishing in the beach. With the rig you are using (the one with the ball sinker and the gang hooks, as you showed in the beginning of the video) do you reel it in slowly or let the bait lay on the bottom of the water. Also, what times are good for fishing st the beach?
Hey mate, I usually let it sit out there if there isn’t much sweep or slow retrieve if there is. Dawn and dusk are always going to be great times to fish 🍻
@@SammyHitzkeFishing Alright cool thanks :)
Great beach session sammy
Vincenzo Berlingeri Cheers Vincenzo 🍻🍻 appreciate it mate 💪💪
Will appreciate all u got
Tnks
Pompeii
Someday I want to come there to catch those beautiful Spanish. You need to come here North Carolina. We dont consider a tailor(blue fish) to be big until 4-5 kilos. Then we call them choppers.
Man I love Sunday mornings. Any idea what we might see next week? Either way good luck and be safe. See ya next Sunday Sammy!
Anthony Nelson hey mate, it’s a bread and butter session chasing whiting and flatties 👌👌
Great video as always mate keep up the great work nice catches
first time fishing adventures 🍻🍻🍻 cheers mate!
Where were you guys fishing?
Sunny Coast or GC?
awesome video man went for a fish today myself after waiting for 7 weeks. gr8 catches on those tailer. ur surf fishing styles different from how we do things here in nz but still a cool style. wat other species can u run into off the beach?
Basic_Fishing nice mate! Did you catch anything??
We can catch heaps of different species off the beach. Almost too many to list to be honest! 👌👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yea managed to catch something which was gr8. the beach has so many hidden potentials thats for sure!
This at low tide ? Blood good haul mate...
John Burg Hey mate we had run out, low and run in 👍👍
Cheers legend.. and Father
Mark Saxon Hahah thanks mate 🍻🍻
You got a free hand piercing, nothing to complain about 🤣
😂😂😂
you guys should go to bribie island its in qld theres some big fish i lost a big code and snapper if you do plz give shout out
Another sick Sammy video 🤙🤙
Matthew McCann Cheers Matt 🍻🍻
3 yrs ago, Allen closed down, it was the last original business in Aussie to survive, So how are they still going?
Big tailor 6kg in WA bud
They opened back up
Years ago I went on a party boat on Saturday and Sunday. The first day I caught 33 and Sunday I quit at 25 because my arms were to tired. Most of them were about 15 pounds and I caught one that weighed 18 pounds which won the boat pool of 60$. Everyone chipped in one dollar each for the biggest fish for that day.
Keep your bait moving, slow retrieve, get right out the back, that's where the biggest are. Where was this filmed?
Great video mate. Love to see something different! Don't get any of these on Christmas Island!
Chris Barnes Cheers mate appreciate the support! 🍻🍻
Thanks for this, we dont have tailer in nz, and almost no alvey reels. Do you use ganged long shank hooks because of the sharp teeth?
Joe Dennehy No drama’s mate! You guys salmon though which is similar! Yeah the gangs help with the teeth and a lot because we use quite long baits 👍
Mint time of year, nice video mate.
Brett Howie Bloody love this time of the year! You lads been getting into them as well?
Now that they are lifting the restrictions it’s game on mate, was this on the sunny coast?
south straddie over the dunes ?
Good to see the tailor have started. Are you a Sunny Coaster Sam? Love my Alveys, also love your mate and Dad were using Wilson rods. Go the Aussie gear.
Ashley Smith Nah brisbane mate 👍👍 Yeah mate, no body does beach fishing gear like aussies! 🍻🍻
Which beach is that?
Awesome mate.
Khaki Army Cheers mate 🍻🍻
They look like bluefish. I live in Newark New Jersey an we catch them all the time
You are correct mate. Same fish. I use to catch heaps in Long Island sound. I was amazed when I caught my first one there.
Yeah same fish but yours get a lot bigger I think!
@@SammyHitzkeFishing yes they do. So when you were saying BIG TAILOR i taught it was a different species, because blues get way bigger here. The one's you were catching we call them cocktail blues
Loved the beach fishing vids. What months do you catch taylor from the beach? Loved to beach fish at night in nth qld without worrying about a lizard leaping from the water.
Mark Ferguson we usually start getting them in March and can get them until September. But they do pop up from time to time when the bait is around all year round 👌
@@SammyHitzkeFishing thanks Sammy. 👍
Hey Sammy, love your work mate, was just wondering what rod and reel you were using when you had the lure on?
Will Western hey mate, that’s a 5000 twinpower and a savage gear salt2 rod 👍👍
@@SammyHitzkeFishing cheers mate appreciate it
Hey Sammy. What's the benefit of using the alvey reels Surf fishing? Say over jusr a surf rod and egg beater. Cheers
Max Alveyss are bomb proof. Sand does not worry them or salt water . Just rinse them off all good.. great to cast unweighted baits or sinker rigs. Can maintain line tautness with a little wind forward or backward. Some have a drag new ones probably all do. Can carry vast amount of line . Doesn't matter if it gets a bit low will still casts as well as a full spool. Downside: puts a lot of twist in line and don't think they're much good with braid. Having at least two ,three better, swivels will help alleviate twist. Not the best for spinning lures can be used if your good though. Love alleys for rock n beach. Used to use them cliff fishing in Sydney lifting big salmon 30-50 metres up cliffs Would strip an egg eaters gears but alvey handled it with ease buggers the operator though lol
@@jefflouis7090 thanks Jeff. Interesting bit of kit for sure.
Max haha Jeff pretty much hit the nail on the head 👌👌 awesome reels for rough environments!
I've got a coupler them be. Over 40 years old plus. Just changed the line and they good to go. In fact due to covid 19 I'm redoing the runners on the beach rod I bought 45 years ago a Kincumber by Jarvis Walker. Was pretty flash back in the day. A slow an tedious process with home made gear but have done a few on than old overhead rod so hopefully all will look good when finished. And coincidentally it is an Aussie invention to ..original ones were hand turned on lathes I believe. Typically tough and super simple design just like the victa mower or hills hoist. You do need a low mount rod to run them on others would be very difficult holding them up..if you ever get a chance get one for those tough beach fishing expeditions or rock fishing especially with booby corks.
@@jefflouis7090 I am in Victoria and use an Alvey for beach bait fishing which is very unusual down here; I have had a number of people ask questions about the reel because they have never seen one before. Alveys are great for bait fishing not very good for casting metal lures because of the slow retrieve rate and line twist. As you say line twist is a problem because on a 650 size Alvey it puts a twist in the line about ever 18 inches. Down here we use a 3-5 ounce star or grapple sinkers so the even though I use a number of swivels line twist is a problem. Once I start noticing a significant amount of line twist I use a home made spin doctor on it. There is a commercial product called a spin doctor that can take line twist out however it is designed for spin reels so spins the line in the wrong directions for Alvey reels. I made one from a sinker that just spins in the opposite direction; here is a video of the commercial version. ua-cam.com/video/xPSZMsAmdtM/v-deo.html
Great vid Sammy love the tailor vids. What casting glove do you use? Do you recommend? Cheers
br pitt yeah mate they are great, that ones a Palms Casting guard. Great for spinning!
Sammy, get in touch with OLIGHT, they might sponsor you...definitely be great for those night shots, 2000 Lumen torch! Great vid!
Carlin Kay hahah 2000 lumens would blind everyone! Probably get sunburnt as well 🤣🤣🍻
Good big Spano baits
Damien Bourgois Bloody oath they are! Did you see my other couple of mackerel trolling video’s? 🍻🍻
Where do you get your 2 gang swivel 6/0s?
You can get them from BCF. Try Tru turns 👍👍
Iforgot to tell you that one fellow was a fresh water fisherman that was used to catching large mouth bass and would put his thumb in their mouth to land them. Well he did that with the first 15 pound blue fish he caught. BIG MISTAKE. he almost lost his thumb.
What location
Nth Straddie? :) Nice!
You bugger! You did exactly what i wanted to do this weekend! Great vid mate, thanks for putting it up!
Ahmed A haha sorry mate, had to go test the waters for you 🤣🍻🍻
Hitting the Nth Coast beaches this weekend with my 650A and GH Greenback - anyone had any luck on mullet strips?
redredwino I haven’t been down mate, but they should be there!
My PB tailor is right around 7 kilo. have seen a few over 10 but very uncommon.
Bullshit
Nice one Sammy
Joel Stieper Cheers Joel, appreciate it mate 🍻🍻
my friend Jakob poyner got a 92cm tailor which weighed 9.2 kilos on fresh salmon off Eurobodalla national park :)
Flynn Ellison that’s a good one 👍
Wunderbar~
What!🤯
how many meters would you say the average cast is?
Pyra I reckon about 40-60m possibly longer if you put your back into it! 🍻🍻
Sammy Hitzke Fishing oh yeah very good video !
Gday legend mate can you put the date in your videos as in say what month you are fishing in as we all would love to know when fish are around ps love your channel mate
Northern Rivers Boys hahah I can’t give you guys all my secrets. Most sessions are within 3 weeks of the video being posted. Most of the time that week or the week before 👍
Sammy Hitzke Fishing not looking your your spots just helps the punters know what fish to go for in which month but thanks Anyway I love your videos
I come from the northern rivers, and I will tell you, mate. Why not. If the beach is covered in brizzos, you might as well be there too.
Big tailor in winter, choppers in the summer. A small swell for off the beach. Look for a gutter that you can cast to the spit, but that is not too shallow. Find one without too much sweep.
No good going if the wind has been northerly, and there are cornflakes or weed in the water. You will only catch stingrays and shovel nose sharks.
Dusk and after dark on freezing nights in a westerly for massive ones. Remember big fish like big food.
I hope you enjoy yourself fishing, and catch a good one.
Nice Sammy where is that spot
Hello Sam my dad's just wondering where abouts you fished for these beauties, any chance you can tell us more about this location?
Kenny Pham sorry mate, not sharing the location of this one
Hey Sammy, what was the reason you changed from a running star sinker to a restricted ball sink. Was it just conditions or casting distance. Awesome video love tailor time.
R Fogg Just the conditions mate. Sweep bad on the first night and there was almost non the second. The ball sinker you can cast further so always drop back to that where possible 👍🍻🍻
Grat vids sammy
Justin Kahn cheers mate!
Should go after big mulloway of the beach👍
Matthew Wright I’ve been hoping to run into one while soaking tailor baits! Surely only a matter of time! 🍻🍻
How heavy are those star sinkers?
iamthedaneman 3-4oz mate, they have a fair bit of weight to them! Helps them stay put in the sweep though 💪💪🍻🍻
Sammy Hitzke Fishing thanks man
Where is this Sammy?
