Gees with this weather over the last few months so shit, I'm betting the Fads will get hammered on Saturday. I've never made it out there but I have a window on the water from 9 to 15:30 on Saturday and no plan yet... Looking good for a first trip out there...
if yiu see a black 685 explorer on the way out or out there swing by and say g'day. We'll be stopping for a bottom bash at some stage. Can compare the furuno 585 to your new sounder.
After thinking about my limited time frame I won't be doing the Fads but I will be out in the 40-50s from OR, maybe a bit deeper if it's a real glass off. I'll surely notice a black explorer so I'll come say G'Day if I see you..
Kept an eye out for you but didn't spot you. Seems like our tallies were close mate. We didn't leave OR until 9:00 due to parenting commitments but ended up with 1 Due, 3 Baldies, a black arse and a shark. Nothing too big except the Black arse was quite big...
Was perfect out there for a couple of hours, not often I get to WOT...

I hit the fads a few times each season in my 4.8 ally runabout.
Just pick your day and make sure you got plenty of fuel, and have confidence in your vessel and your ability to skipper it.

fad pass rotto
hi guys,
went pass the fad behind rotto yesterday. Not a single fish sighted, water around the fad was brown on the surface like some sort of algae bloom.
good luck guys

Bugger all
we went and caught bugger all. Didn't see any birds.
Fished the Bottom on the way home for 2 dhu, 3 baldie and a black ass. Nothing big.
Lots of boats with some of them very friendly and nice enough to belt over from far away and fish next to us about 30m away. Twice.
