Todays FAD report
My Granddad and I headed out today with FAD’s in mind, we were off to a good start when we forgot the jerry and had to head home to get it. At the ramp and in the water by 6:30 and we were greeted to some more than ideal weather.
We got to the FAD and were surprisingly the only ones there, and it didn’t take long for the fish to show. We hadn’t had the lures in for more than a minute when we had a double hook up to very nice size dollies. My granddad soon lost his and I continued to battle it out and I soon landed my PB Dolly at 7kg.
With the lures in again it was on for young and old literally, my granddad lost another one and I continued to land my second for the day and another stonker at just under 7kg.
It was granddads turn to get in on the fish and the next fish he managed to land and this was soon to become his biggest dolly.
It was then time to have a bit of fun and the light gear came out, I lost a monster on a softy, I quickly re-rigged to hook one the polar opposite to the earlier fish, it wouldn’t have gone much more than a kg. We continued to catch a few more and loose plenty more on the light gear and we left soon to more glassy water. What a day to be out on the water.
