the PGFC FADS have been out since late Nov/early Dec. The Recfish sponsored ones of Cape Nat are deployed (late Jan - 23rd I think) but the Perth metro Recfish ones havent gone out yet i believe
Like how recfish told us there were other options for fishing but haven't bothered to put fads out, not that I'm interested in it anyway but a massive misadvertising
RFW rely on government funding for the FAD program. They had funding for the first three years of the program, and had to reapply for funding to continue for this year.
"In the next few weeks......two of which have passed with the fads continuing to grow cobwebs. Whilst I know that RFW monitor this site they are noticeable by their utter silence on this subject
Got in the water with the gun yesterday in some very average conditions and on all 4 fads off Cape nat and not a single fish spotted in 4 hours in the water!

yeah this is a bit frustrating. take away demersals and bang on about other types of fishing, yet fads havent gone out this late in the season.
if im not mistaken i think funding was the issue? nice to see the govt showing support :)
havent made it out to the pgfc fads yet, but hanging out for crack at some dollies! just waiting for a good enough day!
