Raiders, noticed the last few weeks I have been out at the FADs that within 20 minutes or so of a couple of spear fishermen getting into the water the fish go off the bite. Is it my imagination or do others find the same thing? I dont begrudge them being there as long as they play by the same rules as the rest of us, like giving everyone a go drifting the the line, however if they do turn the fish off I will be leaving as soon as they turn up from now on. gotta say they are either brave or thrill seekers as there must be a noah or two looking for a feed as well!

the inner botany FAD went very quite yesterday and nothing at the far one. the rats were hitting hard in the morning but when we went back around lunchtime they were very quite. We picked up a few nice reef fish at the peak and 12 mile Noticed on SST today that the warmer currents are just south of port stephens so hopefully we will be into the good stuff soon. BTW spoke with the DPI yesterday when they came to inspect my catch at the peak and he advised they will be continuing a blitz on undersize fish especially kingies. He siad he caught a guy on monday with 13 undersize kingies !!! good news for us fair dinkum fishos. Rob

Been doing the same all week. Saw you out there a few times we have caught heaps of rats with only a couple of keepers. At least we are getting out there and having fun. And its good practice for when the bigger kings and dollies turn up Robm
