swansea_fisho Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Gday Raiders, What I thought was going to be a fishless weekend until I get a call from my mate on Friday night asking me to come for a run out on his boat and check out the FAD. . Conditions yesterday morning were very pleasant, better then expected when I turned on the marine forecast on the weather channel at 5am it said 3 m seas and 30knots winds. We got out to Barrenjoey and found things to be completely different. Light winds hardly any chop and metre swells. A very easy 22 km run out to the FAD. Not much happening out there, trolled and threw 3 blocks of old Pillies out there. Only fish to make an appearance was a stray dollie about 6 or 7kg which came up the trail and was gone in seconds before we could get a bait down to it him . Headed into Long Rf and things looked very good, 4 fish on the first drift. Ended up with 8 keepers before heading back in just after luchtime. 2 trevally, 2 Reds, a big Mowie, a Nannygai and a couple of jackets. Was a great day out. Got back home went had a bit of snooze got up and watched the footy . Can't ask for much more than that. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njsconst Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Water temp is still way tooooooooo cold for the dollies.....give it a few weeks. A 6-7kg dolly is a good fish, considering the average for them is between 1-4kgs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
