Tailored Treks

We try to keep our beach driving lessons hands-on, practical, and most importantly, fun. We could easily spend an entire day sitting in a classroom covering theory, but that's not what most people sign up for.

Instead, we explain things as we go. Using the two-way radio, we'll talk through techniques while driving and cover the theory during air-downs, recoveries, and the different tasks throughout the lesson. It's a lot of information to take in over a few hours, especially when you're concentrating on the driving as well.

To help, we've just received the second edition of our Beach Driving Booklet. Every participant gets a copy to take home. It's an A5-sized guide designed to fit neatly in your glove box or recovery kit, making it easy to keep handy for future trips.

Often, some of the information covered during the lesson doesn't fully sink in straight away, or it makes more sense once you've had a chance to put it into practice yourself. The booklet gives you something to refer back to after the course and helps reinforce what you've learned.

There's not a lot of beach available to drive on this time of year, especially when the swell is up, but I still like to get people onto some proper soft sand in a safe and controlled environment so they can build confidence and learn what their vehicle is capable of.

We've currently closed our booking calendar for June and July for both beach driving and fishing trips. However, if a suitable weather window pops up, we're always happy to head out and make the most of it.

A bit of an update on the Tailored treks tours and beach driving lessons.

This season I tried something different and blocked off most the afternoon sessions concentrating on mornings. Previous years we were ducking between late nights and early mornings, blocking off each corresponding overnight / morning session.

I have to say it's been so much more successful, especially for the younger and inexperienced who always struggle to manage line well in a howling Lancelin sea breeze.

I have made the change permanent on the web site now. Also switched the 4wd lessons to afternoon. As we have been booked out up to 10 weeks in advance for fishing. With the change we can now take forward booking for afternoon 4wd sessions without waiting weeks for the slot 👍

As for the experienced crew who like to chase the big mulloway over the winter months. Just contact me directly and we can try tee up an evening between the passing storms. As with last year no pre bookings available June and July. just short notice trips when the weather permits.

June and July can be unreliable for our beach fishing tours, weather fronts pass through frequently and tailor take a few days to move back in between storms. Last year we had to cancel a lot of forward booked tours. We are trying something different this year, I have the booking page open for our beach driving lessons. (Click on the book now button to see availability https://tailoredtreks.com.au/show.toy?cid=1291894 ).

I am not taking forward bookings for fishing tours, they need to be booked at short notice, when we can see what the weather is offering. You can contact me to see what is upcoming weather wise or follow the page for any updates.

So far June has started well with a number of tours scoring mulloway and mixed tailor catches. Weekend past was fantastic weather and clean beaches to fish, I even got to cast a few lures Monday morning. Very impressed to do a 4wd lesson Sunday with the customer bringing a 500hp AMG G Wagon 😆

Great catch today David 👊

One of those three meter flatty's I hear a lot about, estimated to be a solid 45kgs. Subdued with the Assassin Bluefish Zero, very versatile rods 👍

We have not been too active on social media, a post to remind you we are still doing tours and a big Thank you to all our customers who have kept us so busy. We have been very busy on the fishing tours and booked out weeks to months ahead. Hence not much advertising to avoid disappointment for those who want a last minute booking. We still spend 2 -3 days a week working at our farm, that will change latter this year making room for more fishing tours 😁

Its certainly been the summer of snapper, all off the cast! They have been so reliable on the morning sessions we haven't even felt the need to use the drone. Fighting a fish off the cast a much more rewarding experience. Some customers lucky enough to have a school come in and catch up to a dozen or more. Now we are looking forward to the autumn / winter of Mulloway 😁

I have not advertised for a while, most weekends I am busy but still have availability midweek for those who can take advantage weekdays. It’s a great time to get up the beach out of school holidays when there’s hardly anyone else around. We are coming into prime time of year to enjoy mornings casting lures to large tailor. The next few months will just get better and better, come join us on one of our fishing adventures or learn to safely drive the beaches. Each tour is exclusive to you or your group.

I have not been pushing the drone side on our fishing tours. A number of people have made inquiries. We take the drone with us most days when the weather is kind, though with larger groups we can't keep a lot of rods out or fit all the extra gear in. There is no extra charge its just part of what we do in a normal tour.

As always our name is 'Tailored' treks so any special request for a drone only tour no problem. Just let us know what you want to get out of the day. Here is a video from the other morning when I went for a solo fish. Subscribe to our YouTube page to see what is topical on the Lancelin fishing scene. We will also be putting up a number of beach driving tutorials over the coming year to compliment our beach driving lessons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KgeRVvdJPo www.tailoredtreks.com.au

A morning fishing with the drone and tossing a few lures, when a big old snapper takes a bait.
