fibbo Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi fellow raiders, I went squidding with the tonight at Wally's Wharf. It was packed there with quite a few people squidding and catching yellowtail. It was our first time squidding, bought two yo-zuri jigs that I read so much about, a pink 1.8 and orange 2.0. No one seemed to have much luck until I hooked something and wound it back only for it to break free when we were looking for the bucket (the was sitting on it the whole time saying 'get the bucket get the bucket' ). About 15 minutes later I landed a cuttlefish. Another fisho came up and asked if he could use it for jew bait and we gave it to him and wished him good luck. We soon caught another cuttlefish and then called it a night - total 2 hrs of squidding. It was good fun, the orange jig did the damage but strangely a lot of others had orange jigs too such beginners luck One question remains, is cuttlefish good bait? Cheers, fibbo.

zephi Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 sounds like a lot of fun, I'm also new to squidding, haven't had a session where I've caught one before... We're planning sometime to head down to the Hacking River, and try squidding on one of those wharves down there. Seems like a lot of cuttlefish are there though.

wrinkley Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 If i had the choice of a live squid bait, or live Cuttley I'd take the Cuttle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spence Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Don't think of squid as just bait either...keep some (green eyed squid) for the pan.....better than fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
searunner525 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Practice makes perfect. I think your on the right track with the yo-zuri squid jigs there the best they work well for me. Try weight less jigs they work well if u use a patternoster style rig with sinker at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
