When does tailor season start at North Mole?

Tailor typically arrive in March and the run holds through to June, peaking in April and May. Dawn and dusk on a moving tide are when most fish are caught.

Is North Mole safe to fish at night?

The harbour side is the safer choice after dark — it's calmer and the lighting is reasonable. Avoid the ocean-side ledges in the dark unless you know them well, and never fish low ledges without watching the swell first.

Why does North Mole shut down in big swell?

The ocean side directly faces incoming SW swell with no shelter, and waves wash over the lower rocks above about 2m. When the swell's up, fish the harbour side or move to a sheltered alternative like Ammo Jetty.

What's the best bait for mulloway at North Mole?

Whole mulies or fresh squid heads on a single 6/0 hook fished tight to the rocks on the harbour side after dark. A live herring on a slow drift around the tide change is the standout when conditions allow.
