Dazzlar Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Went out to the FAD outside sydney on Monday, got there about 9am fished the fad for dolphin fish, trolled all the way only got a stripped tunar. Got to the FAD first cast hooked one but it got off it was under size (ohwell). Then nothing tried about 25 lures & some bait nothing more sounded around the FAD showed really nothing just wondering any one had better luck than I did, it paid off going to longreef for kingfish that were legalsize not like all the rats in the harbour by the way my arm is still sore from all those rats better than none at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimyo Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I was out on tuesday morning and came across to my surprise a big school of dolphin fish working a big patch of sauries from the heads to dobroyd... what a buzz that was! They're are a heap of rats in the harbour but also some real hoods, got dusted big time by 2 in the 15 - 20kg class on live squid and yakkas. Took home a 90cm that went for a yakka in the main harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzlar Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) Man the water is warmer in close than the sydney FAD & to here dolphin fish at the heads to dobroyed head WOW, had a ball on kings the other day all around nth harbour & i must say that one of them straightened my lure clip on my 8pound gear that was on my new stradic ci4 2500 , i must say i pulled out the lighter gear when there was so many rats, but this one must have been bigger. Ill give this much the 2500 stradic ci4 has got some grunt for a little reel, what a way to break it in .I didnt meanchin on our way home i had to have a go at the wreck just off what i call quarintine pt on knife jigs im glad i did but all were undersize kings, got off the water a lot later than was expected. But what a day nth harbour has fish everywhere, out there all next week as im on holidays hope there is some size to the dolphine fish, but cant complain as i said my arm was sore heaps of fish just a few more legal ones would be good. Come on next week & hope the weather is as good as this week minus the northerly winds Edited February 2, 2011 by Dazzlar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
