arpie Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 FADs can even be floating debris in the ocean - tree trunks, planks of wood, boxes, even large clumps of floating weed. Professional fishermen have even use oned boat (which is shovelling pillies overboard at a rate of knots) to hold schools of fish (typically tuna) under the boat, whilst men on board or on the other boats near them, fish for them with lures! So if you see anything floating in the sea, don't be shy about tossing a bait towards it! Cheers Roberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw367 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 And I thought FAD was a passing phase that someone went through! (Sorry...someone had to say it, might as well be me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
