This mornings catch - ok going in the sheltered areas however very sloppy n choppy elsewhere. The squid will remain fresh for another trip I guess .

Well done Pete and Joe - what a geat catch. Nice table fish . Marcel

well done - atleast you got a great variety feed.

excellent catch in anyones book - well worth the effort guys.

Hope all goes well with the surgery - i know where you are coming from .I live with the aches and pains day in and day out.

Well done Pete- you always seem to land a feed .

mate - fishing is hit and miss. I fish middle harbour and can never be confident that a spot will fire all the time . The best bet is to find some structure and burley up with bread and pillies and fish the tide changes. Also keep an eye out on the gulls and if they are bombing the surface try trolling some lures for the surface fish. I have come home fishless on several outings , I cant remember when I last caught a good fish from the system , some guys seem to have alot of luck but its like anything you need to know how to read the waterway and just keep trying new spots . Good luck with it - i have fished that area for over 30 years and still have alot to learn.

good first attempt - the young bloke was great , just love the fact that he wouldnt let you relax in peace lol

a true gentleman and a true legend,, always willing to give advise and help others out. May he rest in peace and my condolences go out to the family.

doing the right thing mate , you mentioned you want to master the art of squidding. This wont happen over night and yes you may lose alot of jigs but once you catch one you wil never forget the feeling especially if u land one that peels drag off your reel. Keep at it over sand grassy kelpy areas and you will not only hit the jackpot with the squid u will also hit the jackpot with your species fishing. Remember 90 percent of the time goes into preparation and bait gathering to reap the rewards, those who give up easily on the squidding will never get anywhere.

never heard of or seen jewies caught at the spit - this is not to say that they are not there but if people get them there they are very secretive about it.

The spit will be fine for you - best bet is to launch from tunks park or if you have a car topper launch it from balmoral beach. One piece of good advice is DONT EVER EVER EVER EVER GO OUT ON THE LONG WEEKEND - EVERY man and his dog mate just not worth the headache or the hassle. Twin 1

as always - well done mate. twin 1

Great catch mate - well done . Reading your post - are you saying you caucht these squid at night or before sunrise? what is your set up -tied to a rod or are u using a paternoster style rig for jigging in deeper depths? If at night what tecnique are you using and do you use a light source to attract the squid to the boat? Twin 1

very very very nice . congratulations mate.

Happy birthday mate - hope today and the other half were good to you lol. Need o catch up mate , take care Twin 1

WELL DONE MATE - NICE FEED.

well done Hodgey, The first is always a buzz especially when u target them . I am sure u will land a better one in the near future.

well done Pete, glad that plan C worked due to locations A AND B being canned due to the wind. You guys persisted with the elements and still came up trumps. Twin1

Outdoor Dan - you like like that comedian CARL BARRON.

Great fish mate - IM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU BUT ALSO VERY JEALOUS LOL. Once again well done.

Grant - all the best mate . Twin 1

sounds great Noodles - definately some food for thought, wil read a few times to visualise better in my head. Thanks for the input.

Happy 2012 to all - hope everyone had a great night and 2012 be a better year for all. Just would like to know what is the best way to pin live yellowtail/ mackeral used for live baits. Do you use one hook or two? Do you cast them out or let them swim out from an anchored boat? What is the best way to get them away from the boat when using a weighted line? Do you pin thru the mouth, the back, the tail when you are anchored? would love to get some feedback and get the new year topics up and running. Twin 1

untamnd, some great fish there, thanks for sharing.Te bigger ones will be just around the corner and im sure your name is on them. Twin 1
