Hi everyone,
I took my boys out for some land based squiding on Saturday as we were hoping to use them for Kingy baits on Sunday.
We could only manage five squid, but that's better than none.
Sunday morning saw my boys and I, plus a mate down in the harbour catching yakkas. We also caught a few flatties and bream along with
a nice flounder while catching yakkas. After we had 10 in the live well we downrigged one of the yakkas and a squid from the previous day around
some of the markers in the harbour. Not one of our offerings were touched. After awhile we decided to go back to anchoring up and soaking some
baits. We had liveys out all afternoon that only managed to catch us a stingray. We also put squid out but they got hammered by smaller fish, we did
end up with a nice Flattie and a 35cm bream on the squid however. I also landed this 40cm rather weird looking fish, I think its a grinner.
Baits used were yakkas, squid, pillies and peeled banana prawns.
Here's a few pics.

My son and a strange looking species I caught, I think what is known as a Grinner.

The bream were peppering our whole squid, this one managed to find the hook that was intended for a larger fish.
