cflife Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 G,day again went for another squid sesh after work Fri. My brother in law came along for company started off pretty slow for the 1st half an hour or so , then craig hooked 1 and droped back down only to hook another almost instantly , that one also came up with a wingman so i sat my jig no more than 20cmunder the water and wamo it was on. We did several drifts back and fourth and kept on landing em, it became a bit of a comp as craig kept in the lead (beginers luck) I was reeling the jig in for another drift when wack i thought i jagged a monster , had a tiny run and would you belive it a bloody tailor on a yozuri around 33cm thats a 1st for me. Starter motor on boat started playing up bigtime That put us out for about an hour and a half,finally got boat started after pulling bits and pieces off with the worst tools ive ever used (lesson) done a couple more drifts for a few more ( i hit the lead ) ended up with 33. Craig 14 me 19. By the way my brother in law Craig is now hooked P.S the fellas that were in the centre console squiding that offered us help THANKS HEAPS i should of taken it ended up drifting a mile away trying to wave u guys down. thought we were going to have to stay the night.

ilk fish Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Congrat's, great haul guy's. The harbour's been so hit and miss lately. Any clue's on where you have been getting them? its a pity when location and details are missed in these fishing reports. Myself and many others are starting out, few helpful hints would always be appreciated. regards ilk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence, but it really is up to the person whether they want to share their exact spot with hundreds of people, even if they are raiders.

Hi Cliffe, Well done on the squid mate. It was me in the Centre Console, I was watching use and thought that you were down there trying for a Jew . After a while one of the boys said I reckon there still broken down!! We were gonna give it 10 minutes more and come down but you came up so alls good. Ended up getting into a heap of squid as well.

gretsch Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I got a Sambo on a pink Yo-Zuri once.. Nice one on the squid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster and co Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Nice catch cflife. Can't help noticing you have no ink in the bucket. And on your previous post you had them spread out on the deck, again with no ink. On the weekend I caught a rather large model calamari and carefully let it squirt all it's ink ( or so I thought) into the sea, before slipping it into the ice slurry with the fish. As has happened before, got home to find a lovely black mess in the esky, and a couple of darker than usual flatties. Do you have some special technique you use to get around this? Any advice very welcome. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G,day dan mate i thought id seen you somewere (browsing through these posts ) just fixed the boat ,was no drama, battery went a little weak (from running lights ,ffinder,livie tank,ect makes the starter motor drop down. just put another batt in and rewired ffinder,btank to it. All good now. p.s you snap locking your squid and freezing them for kings or eating em. Ive never eaten 1 before, i got over 200 frozen. I like squiding as much as fishing but i cant imagine catch and release (espesially after copping an ink squirt or 2) have to start cooking em. Cheers bro see you out there Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers bro see you out there Guy Yeah its funny who you run into on these posts and then out on the water. Yeah just snaplocking and then hopefully converting them into kings from now on. i snaplock and eat them, ive literally got a freezer full of em at home and the fresh stuff i got last night will be finding its way to my stomach later on this evening. Might have to get out there and have a session on the kings together sometime cheers dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Rick No special technique Rick Mate i get inked every time i go out , the boat cops it as well (Full on) when the squid,cuttle squirt in the tank the water is quickly recurculated , with them squid in the photo i was trying to get a photo laying them on the centre console seat ,stacking them on top of each other they kept sliding off slimy little suckers,so i just laid them out on the floor theres more to the right that you cant see in the photo. I usally slip through car lovers on the way home and give the boat a wash. Cheers Mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am nowhere near as proficient at catching them as you obviously are. Usually I just get them as bycatch. On the eating side, I usually cut the mantle up into calamari rings,(which freeze and thaw quite well), and use the head and tenticles for bait. Caught this fella last year on half a head exactly this way. He went 1050mm and weighed 12kg. Cheers, Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
