Sammy0884 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hey Guys, Belated report but i have only just retrieved the pictures. CFD and i headed out for the usual offshore run to the Fads and a troll for something bigger hopefully... Hit the water at 0430 and had a tank full of yakkas by dawn, we then headed straight for the FAD stopping approximately 3ks out of the heads to drop some lures and a skipping gar when we ran over a school of sauries, we trolled all the way to the FAD for zip. We started some drifts at the fad, which was difficult with a 15kn westerly, we picked up 4 dollies before the action was dead, we trolled over to the peak and did a few laps before dropping some baits. We took two smallish jackets and some rubbish before i was snipped above the wind on and lost my rig, after leaving a heap more sinkers behind we hit the fad again which was deserted... we cubed hard and managed to bring a school of dollies up, chris took a few i decided to be silly and throw out my 6lb handline for laughs, as it happened i hooked a great dollie that jumped and carried on for about 15 minutes before i was able to bring it aboard, it went 68cm and was a heap of fun on a $4.50 handline. The action was dead at the fad after that so we headed into some shallow beachy waters and caught about 20 tiny flatties, not a keeper in sight.... tired and bored we headed back to the ramp with 6 keeper dollies and a few jackets.

Jason Scerri Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Nice dollie on a hand line. Good to see. I fished Swansea FAD on the saturday and it was quiet. Managed 12 dollies and kept 8 of them for a feed. VERY quiet out there. Certainly a little different to the last few seasons at the FADS. cheers Jas!

TheDiko Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Onya Sam Tough luck on the trolling, just have to keep on trying new things to see what gets the Dollies fired up on the day don't you. I'll give the flies a go and see how they turn out. IFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
