warnie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Was it a reef you were fishing at night Warnie or just near Brown's? IFS IFS....no.... not a reef as such that paticular night we were about mid way between browns and heatons we were attempting to catch a broadbill ...... incidently i was teaseing these squid with whole mullet they would grab it..... and dart away......it was like being connected to a mach truck. the idea behind the madness being floodlights were shone on the water to deliberatly attract the squid......I just didn't expect to encounter calamari on steroids........
