Ever wondered what happens to FADs in the off-season?

Each winter, DPIRD retrieves all FADs from its extensive statewide network for annual maintenance. All FAD buoys are cleaned and inspected and GPS trackers are replaced. New ropes are rigged to suit the depth at each location, chains, anchors, lights and light protectors are inspected and serviced and all gear is assembled to ensure the FADs are ready and up to standard to meet the forces of the East Australian current and large sea events next season.

This season, DPIRD trialled the use of radar reflectors in FAD surface buoys to reduce losses from vessel strikes. This was a resounding success with minimal losses for the season.

All FADs from Eden to Port Stephens have now been retrieved and FADs from Forster to Tweed Heads will follow from mid June. The FADs will be back on station in their usual locations between September and November.

Keep up to date by checking out the NSW Government's Fishsmart app or website before planning a trip to your local FAD in the coming weeks.

May & June are the best time to do a Kingfish & Snapper Charter.... this year few boats are going out resulting in less fishing pressure increasing catch rate....

Being an Owner Operated Charter we specialise in 8 Hour Small Group Charters often only taking 2 or 3 people out on Shared Charters with a Maximum of 5-6 for $200/person. On Private Charters we take a maximum of 10 best with 5-6. Fortunately we do not have to pay for a Skipper or Decky which is around $1000 for a Skipper & $500 for a decky equating to $1500 before you even untie the ropes which is the only reason we can provide cheaper charters.

There are many owner operated charters who do not require a decky in Australia usually operated by highly experienced charter operators & with small groups it is really easy to help everyone catch lots of fish.

We have the most reliable high quality Shimano & Penn rods & reels with 5 near new Tiagras 50w 2 speeds for trolling for Tuna & Marlin... Shimano TLD 50 for inshore trolling, Shimano Saragossa & Penn Fierce for Kingfish & Snapper. You can even bring your own rod if it is suitable. Charters need top quality bomb proof equipment best for OUR target species. With an extensive Commercial Fishing background we like to catch the best fish possible around at the time.

Fantastic charter yesterday..... finally the Kingfish are a very good size even on the low tide they did not disappoint...

With 3 locals on board we caught 6 plus a few rats & lots of Snapper as by catch while targetting Kingfish keeping 4.... The weather was pretty ordinary resulting in only being able to fish a small sheltered area in comfort & the SW wind was in the opposite direction to the current making it extremely difficult to fish our best areas... there was only 1 other commercial Kingfish boat out there till around 2 hours prior to High Tide when another turned up for the afternoon fishing.... we caught most of our fish before 10am then picked up a couple more in the rough area before having to go back to the sheltered area. Although we only caught a few they were top quality with each angler catching a big one & a smaller one each.... biggest was 91cm, two 88cm, a 75cm, 69cm & 68cm which looked tiny in comparison to the bigger models...

If you prefer to jig for Kingfish & have your own jigging set up we also do jigging charters..

Now is the time to target big kingfish & Snapper weather permitting... so if you would like to go catch some decent fish:

8 Hour Shared Charters $200/person,

8 Hour Private Charters $1000.
