Yellowfin79 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 After a few 🍩 attempts on Dollies for last few weeks we yet again decided to go out on the Fads to see if we can break the drought! The day before our fishing buddies smashed them everywhere so things were looking solid. Launched at Brooklyn Wharf in the dark and went to west head in pitch dark conditions... Yakkas were coming thick and plenty and we loaded up within 25 minutes with my friend Jerry smashing them. Headed out and reached the North Fads by 7am, sea was super calm so even little dinghies were going to the Fads. To our surprise upon reaching the Fads, a big yacht was hogging the yellow marker and hooked up only to find the landing net they have is not long enough to pick the fish up. We got our livies down and then waited and waited for half an hour till my Jerry said to me "mate I don't know , you've jinxed them again" especially when everyone caught them the day before! A minute later Jerry was on only to have his line snapped as the fish was decent and the leader roughed up by previous catches! Damn! By this time there were atleast 15 boats there , one of them hooked up on a metal lure! We then drove up to the 2nd Fad where there was only the big yacht jogging it and drifted with our livies till Jerry gets a 2nd strike. Soon, I got a hit and in 5 min time we have 2 in the boat! A few minutes later we got one more and lost one and then fish just shut down. We couldn't smash them as fishos did the day before but atleast I got to see some green after an year! Maybe there is one more go left for this season for Dollies 🤞 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Well done Saad ( @Yellowfin79) and Jerry ( @wrxhoon1) a few nice Dollie’s , glad you cracked the code. (A bit of a lesson re tying new leaders after each trip ehh). The Yakkas seem to be easy to get and thick everywhere everywhere at present. A great report, thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
