Sydney Offshore 25-11-2014 – Small Dollies


Scent Blazer Lures

Recommended Posts

Managed to get out this arvo for around 5hrs, blue water from about 3 miles out and around 22. Didn’t go out too far, trolled from inside the 12 Mile to the shelf and went north from there.

Couldn’t find any significant temp breaks, 22 everywhere, so it was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. We managed to get 3 small dollie hook-ups and landed 2 on lures chains, too small to keep. We did come across some sauries around the 12 Mile.

A storm came up around 4 and the barometer dropped and we didn’t get anymore strikes after that.

Well done Peter, Should not be to long before the dollies come in to the FADS. Lets see how long it takes. Thanks Peter.

Good work.

I saw some big Bulls at D'Costis on the weekend. They were fresh so I'd say they were caught out of Sydney.

yeah one of the hook-ups was near a fish trap, so I am guessing there are small dollies already holding on the fads, probably small numbers at this stage, but it will only get better from now on

A friend of mine got 2 dollies around 20lb each on the w-end off port hacking, about 3 miles out near some fish traps, so there are big ones are around as well

just gotta get out there and give it a shot, you never know

Great report mate and good on ya for giving it a go in the afternoons when u can.

Do you find mornings or afternoons more productive for out wide ?

I reckon both are good, mornings are probably a bit better and you usually get better weather in the mornings, not as much wind. North easters generally blow up pretty hard in the arvos off Sydney and it can be pretty uncomfortable. My problem is I usually have work to do most mornings and I work most weekends, plus the kids are in that mix :), so afternoon sessions on a weekday is when I have time to get out there.

Normally there is a bite somewhere between 2-6pm in the arvo if there's fish around.
