Nicnat Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 After yesterday's great session on the squid and a wonderful dinner of crumbed calamari, Rodhogger was keen to give them another flogging today and I was also partial to stocking up on bait. So come around 7am we were once again the only boat out and enjoying a beautiful morning. The inkers were not quite as plentiful as yesterday, however the average size was up and we still managed another dozen in around an hour with several others dropped. Back at the ramp by 9am just as the wind was kicking up and once again the poor centre console looked the part with ink everywhere. Now where is RH when you need him to clean up ...

Nicnat Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Nice work on the squid once again.... cheers ..Dogtooth.... John.... Hi John Was actually thinking of you when RH got that big squid - about how he wants to turn it into calamari and you'd want to turn it into a big Hoodlum. We actually down-rigged your favourite spot for about 30 minutes before the wind started but no takers. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Very nice squid, if i had known you were fishing i might have even stopped quoting jobs with your business partner & joined you. I want to see the kingies next post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherjacket Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) Nice looking squid mate!! Crumbed with Aoli or salt and pepper and lemon? Yum! Yum! I assume you were using a 3.0 size jig or larger and were probably outside the harbour. Well done. Try for kingies with the smaller ones?

Nicnat Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Leatherjacket/A.dawg - they were caught in the Bay just inside the heads on small 1.8 jigs as we fish in shallow water (around 3 mtrs) and the larger sizes sink too fast. And yes it's always a struggle to decide which to use as bait and which to eat ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
