Belated report but last Sunday arvo I ventured out for a squid bash in the Hacking. Thanks Larkin for a few pointers! I tried a couple of inside spots before heading out a bit into Bate Bay and finding a couple over weeds. I had one sleeper down on a paternoster rig that got no interest and fished with 2 rods, swapping back and forth. First 2 came aboard and I threw them into my wire floating keeper net....big mistake.....the clever bastards opened the bottom hatch and scarpered! I only realised when one was sitting next to the boat and I dropped a jig in front of it but once bitten it slowly disappeared! Back to the drawing board I moved around and found a couple more then finished with a nice hood in the high 20s as well as a nice little bait sized model. They were quite aggressive as my new orange jig was almost torn to shreds by the end of the session. Looking forward to getting out there more as I usually fish Botany Bay for squid in winter. Anyway a good feed is waiting in the freezer and with the current rains it doesn't look good for quite a while:(
