Excellent work Bruce.

Mate.... you are deadly right now. Top stuff.

Great trip Bruce - plenty of action!

Beautiful fish.

One of my favourite places to fish out on those flatty grounds. Nice work.

Epic mate. What a great session!

Great session on the Mahi! Thanks for the recent advice. Looking forward to getting back out there. Wondering why out of Sydney Harbour we have 2 accessible FADs whereas out of Botany you guys have 4!!!

Dang Basil. Slaying it!

Cheers mate. Determined to get a few good ones this year!

There were a few....'what are we doing moments'....mainly because of how wet the trip was....swell and wind at 45 degrees off the bow is the worst.....

Hey Raiders, Been a little while...............been fishing a bit but not a whole lot to report. Plenty of flatties and a few rats, but a bit of a disappointing start to the year. Anyway, headed out with @fish-aholic(ex-reel'em) on Sunday. Plan was to hit the FADs (everyone is doing it!) in search of some dollies. Early start, launching in the dark around 5am at Roseville. A few boats about but pretty chilled start to the day. Fill up with livies in the harbour in quick time and were off out of the heads in the direction of the Sydney Harbour FAD which is about 9nm (18m) to the SE. The weather was supposed to be 1-2m seas, southerly swell to 1m (from memory). It wasn't. Not long out of the heads it became very uncomfortable and being in a CC very wet. Swell was from the NE and seas were consistently larger that anticipated. We decided to soldier on at very modest speeds and arrived at the FAD in about an hour. Unsurprisingly there were no other boats out there. Initially we dragged a couple of deep diving lures and nailed a couple of small dollies. We then switched to livies and nailed a few more and one rat king. Unfortunately there were no bigger models about so after about 2 hours we slowly made our way back to the coastline. Trip home was dryer and a more comfortable with a slightly following sea. Again we took it very easy, taking out time to come in safely. At around the 50 m mark we dropped some baits and picked up a nice feed of flatties before heading back in. Overall, not a bad day, but it would have been nice to be have a dollie for dinner. Cheers D Pics are MD

Crushing it mate. I am keen for a livey session down there one day!

Great fish mate!

I am glad it wasnt just my crap fishing!!!!!!!

Waverider definitely not there yesterday. A couple of boats out there looking for it with no luck.

Sydney Harbour FAD was there yesterday. Waverider was not. Cheers

Sounds like a great start to Thursday mate. Snaps and brekky. Happy days.

Phenomenal catch MD! Thanks for the shout out but I think you might be inspiring me now. Absolute TROPHY. Can't wait to get back on the water!

Beautiful fish mate! I have caught quite a few flatties on live yakkas in the Hawkesbury....though generally not on the kingie gear!!!

Yiew! Top fish. Midweek fishing is enjoyable in all conditions!

Hey mate. We were on the harbour on Sunday for the same result. Tailor smashing livies!

Great snaps mate. Are you located north or south of the city?

Looks like an epic spot to wet a line mate! Great stuff.

Favourite is fried whole with a thai style sauce.... delicious.

Awesome report. Beautiful snaps.
