Hennessy Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 hi guys heaps of you guys are cleanin up on the kingies, i was wondering if any of you guys have ever tried using that frozen squid that comes in a little blue and white box, you can buy it from a few tackle shops down here in the gong, id say you could get it in sydney too, it's a perfect size not too big or too small and it seems to be fairly fresh compared to some other frozen squid, i think it's called california arrow squid and i think they import it to eat because it has nutritional facts on the back of the box. i know it wouldnt be as good as live squid but sometime's they can be really hard to get around here, what do you's reckon?

Guest Big-Banana Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Nothing beats a live one mate. If they are really on the chew you can turn them into strip baits but usually its no squid no kingie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbofisho Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Also, i'd never advise returning an imported product into our waters, just as a general rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big-Banana Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Iam pretty sure all those boxed squid are from California? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namesay Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I have tried those californian squid and even caught a few! But it was in pittwater around the wrecks, first thing in the morning and in september. Frozen squid is like going to a prostitute...it aint the same and you are cheating.

Jewhunter Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Agree 100% with the boys. Catch your own squid & your strike rate will improve significantly. Same goes for Jews for that matter. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidgie Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 If you cant get squid, use garfish. Gars are great for spinning kings up off the rocks....or off a boat, cast towards the rocks and retrieve or let them drift downwards..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
