Quick dash to the FADS - straighthook
Submitted by Notorious on Sat, 2016-04-02 23:24
Big swell - low wind called for my first dive at the FADS in a couple years. Plenty of small to medium sized dollies - also rat kings at the actual bouy itself. Lost one mahi to a decent sized bronzie that took a fancy to the struggling fish. All in all, I shot my limit in 4 drifts. 3 divers on board.
I shot the biggest of the day, lucky to land it with the spear not fully penetrating with a long shot on this bull - lucky to get a spine shot and instantly rolled him.

Swell sure was on the way out
Swell sure was on the way out - the odd set was coming through, at least 3-4m high! was a little unnerving to be honest.

Great fish mate, might need to hit the fads one day myself but line fish only - dont like the men in grey suits at all.

This was the first time I've
This was the first time I've seen a shark out there - not all that common at all! Its a great dive for a novice as you dont really need to dive more than 1-3m to shoot them.

A very good photo of the dolly
Nice clean photo, no blood and guts to spoil the clean colours and lines of the fish.
