Guest Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Hi raiders myself and one of our members who doesn't post much but is an old mate from my previous workin life wants to catch some dollies. Des has a nice boat I haven't been offshore for ages and would like any tips as too where to go and catch livies and what port to leave from. We have plenty of gear and Brickman is bringing some trolling lures to try out. HELP PLEASE !! and if you want to buddy up on Friday no worries. Regards Stewy
boattart Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I may go again Friday. Which Port are you leaving from? Bait has been thick everywhere. It may be just as easy to jig bait when you spot some on the sounder.
Scratchie Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Go swordy! First a cracking Jew and now going chasing some blue water action! Life's good!
NaClH2OK9 Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Can't offer you any advice but can can wish you good luck Stew . Look forward to reading the report.
Scratchie Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Sucks to be me it will be if you use your wife's good set of knives to fillet your next fish!!!

chewie Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 If you head out of the harbour, The artificial reef about 1 km off the south head radar tower has been consistently reliable for slimies this year. If you cant manage slimies there you can still find cowanyoung which dollies will still smash. One tip, the slimies school higher in the water column from 20ft down and are usually around the reef itself not on it. the cowanyoung are generally deeper and hold closer to the reef itself. we usually drive towards the reef but look for the schools up to a hundred meters from the reef itself. good luck
Guest no one Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Stewie... Go from Foreshore road in Botany bay, hit the Tugs and barrels early for Yakkas and then head out to the FADs... From what I'm reading trolling from 50m to the FAD is providing a lot of Stripies and the odd Dollie.
Guest no one Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Stripies are amazing fighting fish and amazing fun... how about you catch one, have fresh shasimi on board and then hit the dollies!
Guest no one Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, we BBQ'd it and it tasted amazing! Then again i smoked 20 a day then and burnt all my taste buds off - now being a non smoker and having regrown my taste buds it probably would taste quite bad... but still better than that rod you seem to keep chewing on!
Sydneyfisher12 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Chewing the daiwa is much better i prefer the taste of my loomis over my daiwa
boattart Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I should be out tomorrow as too. At the moment not sure weather I have a couple of mates coming or if they take another boat and I might be looking for some crew.
