Penguin Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi everyone, I decided to give squidding a go today. I have tried it from a boat before on several occasions and I suck at it and give up. After reading Slinkymalinkys article on it this morning I was ready to give it a shot, but this time land based. So with my girlfriend in tow we were off to a spot and give it a go. After getting my 1st and 2nd squid rather easily, I rang my mate Bill with whom I fish with usually and he came down and joined us. We had a ball catching ten all up, in windy conditions and having to avoid a couple of spearfishermen who kept annoying us, by swimming in front of us every time we moved to avoid them in the end I started casting my jig just in front of their heads which soon made them notice me and leave us alone . My gf also caught her 1st & 2nd squid, and Bill got one that was a stonker at 76cm all up length, and 36-37cm at the mantle. Anyway I had a mid afternoon appointment so we called it a day and set off for home with some nice Kingy candys in our bucket for our next fishing trip, and we also had a nice big squid for the BBQ tonight penguin heres a few pics Bill and his big Squid Our catch Bills squid 76-77cm in total length and 36-37cm mantle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Great session for everyone, Penguin .... well done on getting some great bait and a feed as well Cheers Hodgey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slabslinger Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Great work mate. Kingy candies...I like that. I'd be using mine as Jew chews. Hope they are the goods either way. All the best, Slabslinger PS Hope your gf doesn't get that clean pink shirt in front of too many inkers. Hate her to learn the hard way that designer tees and squid don't mix unless you are loaded.
