Dollies are on. Amazing conditions offshore today.

Gday Raiders. 

Early morning wake up today. 5am at the boat ramp. Armed with two blocks of pillies we fanged it in dream conditions to the Botany Wide FAD. No time for collecting live bait as i needed to be back by 1pm to take the family out for lunch. Took all of 30 mins to get there from the ramp which was nice. 

Used one block of pillies as cubed berly. The other block as whole bait, unweighted. Dollies were there and they were hungry. Between 3 people we kept 21 fish. Lots of families to feed today.

Lots of fun and lots of non stop action.

Off to Avoca tomorrow for a week with the family. Will try fishing the entrance while im there but need to get past the crowds.

Cheers.

Nice tub of fish, worth the effort. Early christmas day can be a good time to fish as boat numbers are usually low, until later on.

Brilliant effort Sam - lovely feed of mahi mahi- well done mate.
