Well done, thats a solid and healthy looking fish.
How do you work those plugs? .. i was at Kalbarri a few weeks ago and spent a fair bit of time using a Pink one. Was unsure which was the more effective technique for the tailor. I mixed it up alot allowing it to sink and fish more subsurface.. and working it like a popper with the odd jerk and such. Seemed to have a great action as a stickbait/popper.
Once it hits the water, crank it along the surface then mix the speed keeping it on the surface. They have a great side to side action fluttering almost like one of those bird teasers. Had heaps of success with the green one particularly in low light conditions. Always my go to lure especially in reefy ledgey areas where I do lose a few lures. Prefer to lose a $8 plug to a $30 stickbait. Only lost 2 that morning. :)
