Last time i was out off the botany wide fad there were loads of trap bubbles just a bit wider out holding dollies. Worth a look if you are heading back out. Will PM ya if i have any success!

I had checked on the DPI page(Fisheries website)on Friday 7thMay and had the right GPS marks but when I got there it was "missing". I was a bit cheesed off. Then on Monday 10th May I double checked the GPS marks and the website then says it had been removed for winter maintenance, I wished DPI had forewarned on its webpage on the Friday that the FAD removal was planned, not happy Jan Regards Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
