First crack at the FADS

 Had my first trip out to the FADS yesterday. Went on a mates boat from Mindarie, with neither of us fished out there before, expectations were high. Got to the most northern FAD at first light and trolled past with a couple of skirts on, the second pass and bang double hook up, Chris lost his and I managed my first dollie. So stoked! set up for another pass and Chris lands his first dollie! Tried for a bit longer with no luck, flicked some placcies at them with no luck either. Headed to another FAD further south, which had a couple of boats on it, saw one boat get hook up after hook up, but we couldn't seem to spark any interest. Headed back in and fished around the bank for a bit, managed a stripey trolling back, along with a nice blackass, and pinky on the jig. Was a good day out with a few fish around, dropped a few on the jig, but I dont really want to talk about that....

Sorry not many photos, we didn't get round to it!
