Decided to do some work on our squiding technique as we have not been very successful in the past. We usually fish maybe an hour and only get 1 maybe 2 max so there must be a more productive way to get these tasty little creatures.
We hit the water at 1pm and low tide was at 2pm and we planned on fishing at least 3-4 hours to get a handle on catching these buggers.
Our plan was to do a lot of moving around and try to find a good location
first destination for 10 mins and zip so we moved and found some nice weed in 2 metres depth
the time was 2pm dead of low tide and we were doing a 100 metre drift and getting hookups each drift
we didnt have to move spots again as we just kept doing the same drift and hooking up on each pass
All up we managed over 20 squid
the 5 pictured where all over 1kg
and the coke bottle in the pic is a 1.25 litre just to give a size reference
the squid jigs we used where yozuri aurie q colour kpka and a yamashita same colour basically bright orange/red
i hope next time i squid i get the same luck
I did have the esky setup in the tinnie but it was too much hard work, keeping clean, keeping the bait alive,and taking up too much room on the boat.
so here are some pictures of the new livie tank i hope they come through ok
good onya keep trying , i find when the yakkas are there i bait the sabiki jigs with either bread, squid, pilchard or anything that hangs on the hook i find that it helps when there nervous
if the rule book says over ten knots then that is the law. The only problem is proving that you are doing under 10 knots because their word pulls more weight than yours. Also depends on the governments financial situation, when they need the revenue !!
