PGFC Fad 20/2/13
Ventured out to the Perth Game Fishing Clubs FAD yesterday, with the intention of doing a bit of bottom bouncing on the way back in. Tigh was in flying form forgetting to put the bait on the boat before leaving, so we stopped at a spot and picked up a couple of livies, then went for my first trip out to a FAD. Strong easterly in the early morning slowed our progress out, but started dying as we finally got there, and the Dollys were everywhere. Very, Very finicky and after throwing a handful of different lures at them Tigh hooked up on a soft plastic to the biggest of the day, on 20lb gear, which was a great sight of aerial display and after 20mins we got him on board (The guy in the blue shirt + biggets of the fish). Tigh continued his stella form by then dropping the fish overboard while cleaning it and sending down to the bottom. :( . So after another hour or so of throwing everything we had at them including the same plastic colour and many others, I decided to rig up one of our livies and throw him over. 30 seconds later the reel was screeming and I had 10mins of fun before bringing him boat side. Grants turn was next so rigged up another livey and 15 seconds later he was on. All in all a good first attempt out wide.

No, it is just folded down.
The males have a blunt head, the females a rounder profile.
