nic_ally_king Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Hey all, Just wondering how long it usually takes for the action to start once they re-deploy the fads? Mate of mine went to BB wide and terrigal last w/e at sun up and it was dead. I noticed the wk leading up to that the fisheries website had no mention of either being deployed yet so I'm assuming they'd only been there a matter of days/maybe a week. Either way, considering waters good, how longs it normally take? Regards, Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard about the blues too, but was unaware of the big dollies thats great. The last 2 times i've been to browns and around i've come back with nothing so I'm really looking forward to some quick runs to the fads. Cheers fellas happy fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtosea Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Big Dollies have been planting seeds down the coast for the last month or two, the resident fish wont take up the fads as homes til late January at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieR Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 How do the FAD's work ? - are they just a buoy with a long rope / chain to the bottom that attract small fish to feed off the growth on it ? Why dont people make their own and just leave them out there ? ( sorry if this is a silly question ... i dont know anything about them ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont people make their own and just leave them out there ? ( sorry if this is a silly question ... i dont know anything about them ) anything that floats on the surface or just below it can be called a fad of some sort but yes in genral fads are just a big buoy with a rope down to a anchor system why don't people make their own we some people do however it is against the law to do so and is classed as polution/litter/dumping so getting caught with one could cause some pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
