Dano1 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hey all, Bellow is a photo of a squid i pulled from sydney harbour on thursday, This squid managed to land us 6 kings on our boat, wich we kept 1 at 65cm and released the rest. and i gave a chunk of the squid to a fellow fisho who was fishing next to us and was not having any luck with there live yakkas, they then managed 3 solid hook ups and 1 king landed, which we then found out was his first king. which made our day. I know what its like to be surrounded by boats getting hook ups and your getting nothing cause u don't have squid. Hopefully some good fishing karma will come from this. The squid measured 65cm in total length gave us bait all day and still had about a killo for the table Dan. I will put photo of king on diff post as i haven't mastered the resizing. Thanks for all your help though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are the key to big squid! as most of the big squid i catch have been on yakkas or coaxed up with a yakka, then through a jig at them if there not hooked up. Dan.

Penguin Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Top squid, I wouldnt have been able to bring myself to use him as bait, I would have eaten him. penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DV8 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Nice squid. I target squid that size regularly at #$@* reef. They are in fact my favourite food item from the sea, thoughI keep the heads for bait. Normally when I am fishing for reddies I will put a jig over the side and just let the boat do the work for me. I often laugh at the squidding advice that says not to use jigs bigger than 1.5. The jigs I use are huge by comparison (6 inches). Big fellas like that won't look at the small jigs. Incidently, is it just me or does everyone else experience a slight stinging/ irritation from handling big squid like that. I feel it quite a bit expecially in the cuts on my hands. davo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osprey Rider Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 DV8 My Bro inlaw gets a stinging sensation from squid as well, you guys must have a alergic reaction to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
