Guest Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hey all , Decided to have a crack at the squid today with a couple of the mods Hit the Port Hacking in less than ideal conditions with a nice southerly blowing. This was my first go at squidding for a long time and I must admit I had a ball with the lads watching these little buggers squirting ink all over the joint. We ended up with 9 Green eye Calamari and 8 Cuttlefish in the space of a couple of hours fishing the weed beds . Sam did get one great cast away and his beloved "SHRIMP HUNTER " lure sailed into the bank like a missle minus the line it was attached too . Chris and Sam got plenty of ink on themselves and all over my boat ,which washed off really easily. We dropped as many as we caught and it was a very enjoyable day out ,thanks lads . Finished off the day with Maccas at my joint after cleaning the boat I now have two very nice Calamari Squid on ice in the freezer ready to for my next Jewie session on the beach .

DaveD Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Sounds like a pretty top little session stewie, especially seeing the less than ideal conditions. Gotta love the ink though aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flattieman Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Well done fellas! The Hacking seems to be chockers with squid lately - I managed a dozen in 1.5 hours a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like a productive session despite the poor conditions. Did you guys use Egimax? - I'm thinking of picking up a can or two (hmm... glow or normal or both? ). Good luck for your upcoming jewie session, Stewy - seems that there's a few around. Maybe we should try to nab a few at the Entrance Social. Flattieman.

Flattieman Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) We were using egimax Ryan and that is definately the plan to hit the North Entrance hard for a big jew on the Social weekend . Last year there was heaps of weed on the beach and made it impossible to fish,so hopefully being a bit later and a few westerlies will get us onto the big fellas Cheers Stewy Sweet. My cousin and I have sussed a few spots along North Ennie - should be good to see if there's some jew around (seems there's always a couple getting caught of the beach). I've got a dozen freshly-frozen squid waiting to be smacked by a big king (I should get some tailor too...) Flattieman.

Hey Ryan, I the lures that took all of the calamari were sprayed with Yum! shrimp scent..which has been more successful than Egimax when used side by side.

Guest IFishSick. Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I use a Prawn Scent that you can get from any tackle shop or Supermarket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namesay Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I lost a jig that way this week as well. My leader parted from the braid and the jig just sailed into the drink! I thought I made a really good cast. Just think how much the tackle shop owners love our misadventures. Cheers kelvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecraft Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi Stewy When you said you were squiding over the weed beds at Dolans Bay, you don't mean Burraneer Bay, do you? I normally squid(from land) over the weed beds in Burraneer Bay across from Shiprock but find the squid very shy during the day and have had more success at night time. However 2 nights ago when I was squidding using Egimax, I scored zilch even though I could see the squid, they would not touch the Yamashita 2inch in pink. Regards Kit ps I live in the street with the target sight in the map and can squid from land, using the neighbours' hospitality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IFishSick. Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've caught squid off Wally's Warf, like Kit said, you can really only get them at night there. And you do need to use some sort of scent to get them turned on, they can be quite stubborn there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisecraft Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 (edited) First time for me in this spot and all I know is Chris calls the ramp we launched at Wallys Wharf ? does that ring a bell to you. Cheers Stewy Hi Stew Yes, Wallys wharf is at Dolans Bay but east of Wallys Wharf(towards right hand side on the map) is where the weed beds are. What time of the day were you guys squiding.
