Headed out today to the South Sydney FAD. Saw the FAD around 7:30am and beat 4 other boats to it. Second cast hooked up to a nice Dolly on 8lb, took about 100m of line and gave a few nice jumps out the back of the boat. As I was fighting the fish the other boats arrivedat the FAD, though I didn't see anyone hook up to a fish. As my fish neared the boat Dad tried to catch some possible followers of my fish but none were to be seen. Landed the fish, went 75cm and a PB for me. Few shots taken and in the tank it went.
As we headed back to the FAD we realised the reason why we hadn't seen anyone hookup was because a few people had jumped into the water. By the time we got back there everyone had left and the fish were no where to be seen.
