Hi Steve,<br><br>We don't have the man-made FAD's like you have but the Dorado behave the same. The only difference is they're attracted to natural things, like kelp paddys and floating debris.<br><br>IMO the best live bait is a med. sized green back (pacific) Makerel, with Anchovies coming in second. Dorado go absolutely nuts over tossed iron jigs like Kicker's #25 heavy. Party boat skippers usually don't encourage using jigs for Dorado because they're so lively when brought aboard and can throw the jig. What techniques do you use down under? Which jigs? Which bait? Also, what are your FAD's constructed of?<br><br>Dan <br><br>Fishing Academy ---><b><font color=blue><A HREF="http://www.fishingacademy.com" target="_new">http://www.fishingacademy.com</A></font color=blue></b>
