aussie big bob Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) hi there fellow raiders with all the hype about the dollies and the b bay fads i thought i would give it a go day started at 3.30am arrived at boat ramp approx 4.30 first stop was the bait grounds to get some lives, that was a joke 2 hours for zip. so off to the fad for the very frst time. arrive at fad to see only one other boat there. so as this is my first time at the fad and the first time i had fished for dollies i set out three unweighted baits, well this turned into a bad misstake as all three rods started to go off and as i was on my own this presented me with one big problem , solution was just to sit it out and see which one was going to stay on, a few mins passed and one dollies is on its way to the boat,and skipper happy so do another drift and on again dollie num 2 on its way to the boat. things start to go quite so decide to head to the peek for the first time as well on the way throw aout 2 skirts which i bought last year at the boat show and yes you guested half way the and i am on to my first stripe tuna , and boated it the rest of the way to the peek zip so off to 12mile also for the first time but also zip so now with the dollie fever decide to head back to the close fad and try for some more dollies done about 5 to 6 drifts for only 1 more but happy for that so now its time to head back to the bay before night sets in trolled all the way back for zip. arrive at cooks river ramp 5.30, the day was great with me geting 2 pb dallies and tuna here is photo of the tuna not big but my first Edited April 13, 2007 by aussie big bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris 55 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Good day out for you Bob especially running solo know how you feel with the bait collecting, we hit Watts Reef on Monday and there was nothing there the Kingys must have the bait schools scared so we just trolled out to the fads for 2 Dollies and 3 Stripeys headed out further for nothing Good to finally see some blue water and find the Dollies even if they are small, fingers crossed the temp stays over 23 and we get some bigger models Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markwi Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well done, the livies can be elusive at times. Looks like the Dollies are finally starting to make an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDiko Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hey mate, I think I was that other boat that you saw there, we arrived with no other boats and saw one pull up riding solo. We were in DILLIGAF, a Haines Hunter 580SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie big bob Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hi there once again fellow raiders There was one thing I left out off my first post and that is to thank the person that was responsible for me making the Pb that I did, And that is (white caps) the only thing for me to do now is to return the favour. So I hope that on Sunday we will be able to hit the water together in your 640c and I will be able to share my knowledge off fishing the fad with you, now that I am an expert Thanks white caps for making my day work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
