FAD Run Part Deux
Headed out to the FADs again yesterday with the bro.
Very early doors start paid off and we had our choice of FAD to ourselves for about 90 minutes. After that a few other boats moved in and it was time to bail.
Bit quieter on the numbers but we still got a bag each, including two nice bulls for Paul.
First five fish came on the 1/4oz Bucktail Banana's again and a small cow for number 6 on a trolled 8" Zuker. Quite a discrepancy there.
The second last fish pictured regurgitated a 12'' fish into its throat when we boated it, the pig still ate the little peanut wafting in front of him.
Loving the new Mercury 175 V6.

G'Day holth, a lot more of
G'Day holth, a lot more of everything really.
I mainly upgraded to get bigger loads up onto the plane and not be straining the motor i.e. fully loaded Montes trip for 10 days.
4000rpm on my 6.1m ali is 27 knots. WOT at 5800RPM was tested on the river at 41 knots. Not really planning to travel at that speed.
Last two trips to the FADS have been 80nm round trips, used 89 and 90L respectively.

Conversely it's a bloody long haul if you get there and find they're shut down because of too much boat traffic. Certainly pays to be early!
