njsconst Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Hey fish raiders just wondering if there are any dollies are the fads off Sydney up to terrigal . Hope everyone has a great Xmas an the fish are plentiful I heard from a reliable source today that they have been getting dollies at the wide FAD off Broken Bay to 5kgs. I have been looking at the water temp and see that it's only just nudging 20'C so I am a bit scepticle. I have never caught any decent dollies in water temp under 22'C. I'm not going to burn any fuel heading out for them until the water warms up a bit more. Hopefully sooner then later. Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBG. Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 i wouldn't be entirely sceptical. We were getting them in the middle of June and July when the water was sub 20. Jigging kings and dollies were chasing them to the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentstik Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I got a 12.5 kg one in Aug on the way out to chase yellowfin in 18.5 degree water. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've had a couple of nul trips to the FAD and from Gosford swimming pool it was a 75 km round trip to the Broken Bay FAD out round Box Head and back. At least 50 litres of juice to do it comfortably and I used to take 3 tanks for 80 litres. Not so far now thankfully, but when you have a good day it makes those expensive time-wasters fade away. My last trip with the Father in Law resulted in 16 fish with at least 20 lost at the boat. A couple of crackers amongst them too. Can't wait to get amongst them this year. Got a couple of Pakula sacred sauries ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 The diffeence of a couple of days. Thursday 22/12/11 compared to 25/12/11 shows a marked increase in water temp off Sydney coast. Notice the change from mainly green to mainly brown. This indicates a temp rise of at least 2, possibly 3 degrees C. Yeah!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
