dodgem Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) hi all, went into the harbour targeting just squid today for the first time i wanted to make it a meal and not bait. found a really good patch of them. they were all really good size and ended the day with 13. never been so lucky with calamari, but there was a heap of them. i dropped as many as i caught and also lost one massive one at the boat when i couldnt get to my net and tried lifting it in by the jig downrigged a couple of squid heads around some structure in the harbour and scored two quick kings, 1 going 70cm and the other a tiny 52cm. wasnt to keen for kings today so gave up after those two. also got a nice blue swimmer in a net that i set early morning it all went down great for dinner with the family cheers david Edited March 7, 2008 by dodgem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kingmad, In amongst the moored boats is sometimes a way to try for squid, otherwise around the shorline up towards neilsen park is very productive.

Davemmm Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 How good is that bait tank. You could sit back and watch your squid attack the yakkas all day. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Soprano Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Great effort mate... Good haul of squid.. There's certainly some decent size ones around at the moment Were the ones you caught all full of roe? I picked up 4 earlier in the week that were all fat as and full of eggs...
