oldsalty Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Find your nearest FAD ( fisherman attracting device ) , get there as early as u can, before the rest of Australia gets there and throw a live bait at it .

marshie Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Oldsalty is spot on - early bird gets the worm. Many do well with a livebait down deep for bigger bull mahi mahi I've caught them in a burley trail of pilchard cubes, by drifting a pillie tail down unweighted on 20lb fluoro and a 1/0 hook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike2153 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I'm trying to find the bigger dollies at traps and fads etc, is it common knowledge that the bigger ones sit deeper and I should chuck a livey on the downrigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsalty Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Maybe sometimes but not always, seen big ones mixed in with small ones on top and also big loners caught in the middle of nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
