Late report

went out yesterday to botany fads

got my yellow tail very early and headed straight out

they where not on and Spearos on one fad

Persisted and got Four by 9am

went to Coogee around the island, heaps of kings around but no legals 

got a couple of Bonito and Damm good feed 

home early, washed the boats , gear, filter the fish, shower and crashed out on the sofa by 7pm🤣

Some nice Dollies Basil!

Was hard going off South Sydney fad too.

- those spero’s always scare the fish off.

I got out early and the Spearos where on one fad

i fished the other fad and they come over

we had a massive argument before they left swearing their heads of at me

my argument was stay where you were as I can’t come 50 meters of you and I was at this fad first 

20km drive fuel and bait and bloody day ruined

Sad that there are selfish people out there with no respect for others who are trying to enjoy the ocean. 😞

Nice dollies. I used to fish both the Botany and South Sydney FADs from about 2005 till 2015. After that time, too many fishos and spearos were there on the weekends and I stopped going, as it was a waste of fuel, time and effort and I didn't like some of the agro that was  starting at the FADs. I couldn't go weekdays like you did, due to my work. 

There are plenty of other options around the Port Hacking and South of the Hacking.

Well done on your catch. Cheers

A cracker day Basil, that’s one good Dollie and great to be getting rats augurs well for the future - thanks for sharing. Looks like a lovely boat mate. (‘Crusher?)

It’s a quintrex trident

WOW what a fantastic set up you have Basil. Some very good fish there, apparently Dollies are great to eat...never caught or eaten one, but trust those who have.

The lack of basic respect that some people display lends me to thinking what they are like in other aspects of their daily lives? It's not rocket science, somebody is there before you, respect that, and work WITH them, so everyone can have a good time.
