Bluewater Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Heading out for a fish tomorrow and wouldn’t mind giving the Dollies a go. Had a quick look at the Broken Bay FAD location on the Fisheries web site and according to the site, it’s 22km off shore. Are there any known locations closer to shore? Or is it just a matter of looking for fish traps from the 50-meter line and beyond? Bluewater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could try broken bay wide it usually has a trap or two on it that will hold dollies. but as the fad is only 5 kms or so further on from there you may as well head all the way. Keep an eye out for traps between the two as there are usually some in 90 or so meters. in an apropriately sized boat the run to the fisheries fad isnt that bad especially if conditions are on your side. just ensure your boat and radio has range and you should be right.

Gibbofisho Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 G'day mate, there is a fad off botany bay that is only 9.5k's from the heads that hold good dollies, the ones at the wide fad are a class larger but good fun none the less! Just throw unweighted pilli tails at them and you'll have a ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just throw unweighted pilli tails at them and you'll have a ball! I caught them in 65m of water today. Dont worry about distances from shore. Look at the water temp. Its was 24 degrees today and we are in April. Odd currents thats for sure. But looking for traps is very difficult, especially when the current is dragging them down. Better to lay your own down.
