    Hey guys

    The other day I had some blue swimmer and it was lovely! Since then I have been obssessed with catching my own crabs. Only problem is I'm land based and dont know a whole heap about how to catch them.

    If you guys could give me some tips about locations, traps or bait it would much appreciated

    Thanks guys!

    Squid

    Hey guys,

    I am planning on going fishing Friday evening and I really want to catch a squid. I've never caught a squid, and recently picked up some squid jigs and have some of my late Pop's old ones. I was just wondering if you guys could tell me some spots and techniques for catching the squid?

    Note: I live in the Manly-Warringah area and I cant travel too far. I am also a land based fisherman.

    Thanks guys. :banana:

    Gday Raiders.

    I was out fishing with my Nan and we were leaving Narrabeen and I asked about Fishermans Beach. I was just wondering if it was still any good, as it was one of my Pops favorite spots before he passed away. I have heard lots about it and i would really appreciate a reply.

    Thanks

    squidding methods

    After months of trying I've finally had the luck of landing my first few squids with jigs.

    Here's what I've learn't

    - Let the jig sink depending on the depth of water, I like it to be around a metre from the bottom so I can cover a large portion of the water column - I usually wait maybe 30 seconds with a 2.5 jig in around 10m or less of water.

    - Use a flick technique like two flicks, a slow retrieve and let it sink again. - the aim is to imitate that quick erratic flick movement of a prawn

    - Smaller jigs work well (if not better in my opinion) than the bigger ones. - Recently I've landed some 30cm size hoods with a small 2.5 jig.

    - Bright Pink and White with Orange jigs seem to work best in my (limited) experience.

    - When you hook up, keep the rod tip pointed up and don't allow any slack.

    - If you need to lift it up a jetty or rock ledge try to do it in one movement to avoid the squid falling off. If it bounces there's a chance the hooks will fall out as they aren't barbed.

    - Avoid the beak and the ink :P

    Like I've said I've only just started to catch them after months of trial, error and lack of interest due to discouragement. Just keep at it and you'll be enjoying some fresh salt and pepper squid in no time :P

    Thanks mate I tried all that but none were biteing. Could you please tell me where you go out? Thanks
