The 2024/25 NSW FAD season is concluding after one of the most productive years in over two decades, with strong dolphinfish catches reported from Tweed Heads all the way to Eden.
All FADs will be removed for annual maintenance during the cooler months and redeployed before the next season. Removals from Port Stephens  to Eden have been completed in recent weeks. The northern FADs (Forster to Tweed Heads) will be removed in coming days, weather permitting.
Check out the FishSmart app or DPIRD website here for the latest FAD status before heading out!
