I woke up very early this morning to go down to Fremantle with my friends to chase schools of tailors (blue fish). We got down to the North Mole around 7:00, and I hooked up one fish soon after. I brought fish close, but unfortunately, it bit off my tippet and got away. I had a short section of 15lb nylon as a bite tippet, but the fish managed to snip it off.
After that, we didn't hook up anything other than a couple of strange looking fish which took my streamer. So, we moved to the South Mole, but we didn't do well either over there.
It looked like tailors won't arrive today, so we decided to check a couple of different spots on the way back before going home.
To cut a long story short, we had a good fortune of stumbling acroos a spot which was covered with millions of small shrimps, and fish and birds were all gone crazy. It was meant to be a short stop before going to get coffee, but at the end, we got stuck there for a couple of hours. The water was exploding with shrimps fleeing from their predators and fish were hitting our flies hard. It was a magic session.
