Guest DV8 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 The coves between Little Box and Box look pretty good as far as squid go (heaps of kelp and structure). Has anyone consistently caught squid there? Cheers Davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bashir Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Not consistently but I always manage to get slimies in those coves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisg Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Davo All that coast line is almost identical to the Joey and West head and should be teeming with squid...note the should...never caught one there and never heard of consistant catches Try a jig on a dropper while you chase yakka's etc..you never know.

namesay Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Those squid can turn up anywhere. If there is weed, rocks or any other cover there should be some around. The only problem is that sometimes they get hammered by the pros. Cheers Kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Ive never caught Slimeys close in, only seem to get yakkas? Any spots which produce Slimeys on a consistant basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your replies. To Anthony I have only caught slimeys there form time to time. The yakkas seem to be there on sunset every day (not sure about the mornings).

Guest Big-Banana Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 They are real buggers to get, I used to get them in the deep reefs all the time but lost all my good marks. Ill try little box head next time. Cheers guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone consistently caught squid there? Cheers Davo Adding to my earlier query i forgot to mention that the bloke i saw most succesful at catching squid was a bloke I met at Booker bay one night. he had more squis than you could possibly use in a decent Jewfish session and he caught them by slowly retrieving a fresh prawn and then simply netting them like you would for crabs. He had sworn off jigging years ago as he reckoned his method was more productive. i suppose the proof was in his bucket. I've never remembered to try it myself but it would be worth a go if the squid are timid, but then you need to find a fresh prawn as well.
