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.

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.

I have bagged out in the rain several times over the years and caught some quality fish also. I love it once the boat is set up and canopy and tarps up it is quiet cosy- it is setting up the boat in the rain at the ramp that is a pain! Not much fun setting up when its absolutely pouring down. dark overcast nights always work well for me.
pete.
as always - well done mate.

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?

WELL DONE MATE - NICE FEED.

G'Day all,
There's not much I can say to embellish this 'capture', other than to say it was pretty special because it's my first jewy on lure:
He measured a gargantuan 40cm ... now I would like to upgrade!
Caught at the bottom of the run out tide on a 3/8oz jighead/100mm squidgy fish in Black/Gold. Pleased to say it was target species too. Cheers
Hodgey
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.

I use 1 hook in the back behind the dorsal and a party ballon. Years ago I found a design for a clever little release clip that I make out of an electronics aligator clip, a snap, some small PVC tube (fish tank air tube) and a cable tie. The design came from a WA fishing site but I've been unable to find it again recently. It's a really neat little idea that allows you to have the livie swimming at whatever depth you like.
I'll try to describe it to you. The little aligator clips come from Jaycar Electronics or other electrical supply shop. You need to cut the little cable clamp section off the back end and file off the rough edge. Drill a small hole in the finger end of the aligator clip and put your snap in it so it dangles. You can use a split ring to do this if you want. Cut 2 small pieces of PVC tube and push them onto the clip jaws to protect the line. Push a little cable tie through the PVC tube as well on the opposite side to the snap. Done.
To use it. First inflate the balloon and knot it then attach the clip with the cable tie above the knot. Hook your livie onto your line (weighted or not doesn't matter) and drop him over to whatever depth you want. Open the snap and put your line through it and snap it closed. Then clip the line in the jaws of the clip between the PVC tube. Drop the balloon over and feed out as much line as you want. The breeze will (should) take the whole lot away from the boat. It usually does but some yakkas want to stay in under the boat for some reason.
When a fish takes the bait the line comes out of the clip jaws but the balloon stays attached and the line runs freely through the snap.
There are 2 main advantages. Allows variable depth, and is reusable so you don't leave balloons floating around the ocean as is the case with other methods. They are not stainless so rinse and dry them after use.
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.
