Finally Caught A Squid!

[prawn*]

hay guys just joined up and have been visiting the site for over 6months now & love it have gathered much info from the site which has lead to many great catches!

have been out mostly trying to catch squid for a while with no luck have been to gymea baths, lilli pilli baths, and yowie bay boat ramp with no luck and am using a green/orange 2.5g yozuri so nearly giving up decided i'd try cronulla (gattamatta baths) ago, was actually on the phone had a line in and bam felt the jig throbbing away hung up on my girlfriend to wind in a nice size squid. Was actaully bit to big to land without net so decided to walk back to the beach to land rather then loosing my first inker, stocked whilest i had him lying there squirting in i thought i had seen another near by so cast again to pull in a nice bait size cuttlefish which is goin in the freezer for jewie bait for this weeknds effort,

made my first salt & pepper squid with the bigger one was best squid ive ever had!

Congrats on first squid. Well done.

Well done on your first squid. They will come easier after this one. Something else to try would be take a few more different colour jigs with you as some days they won't have a bar of one colour but will smash another consistently!

thanks guys have armed my self up with a few more yozuri jiggs thanks 2 ebay after finding a pack of 12 assorted colours, fingers crossed i can continue to catch more inkers now for bait and for a feed with new jiggs

any one used cuttle fish to target mulloway? ive read some reports saying it can be used but is not as good as squid im assuming its because of the hard casing in the hood? im gona try using it same way as ive rigged up (not fresh squid) whole previously with 2x size 7 gamakatsu occy circle on 80lb jinkai line.

Well done on your 1st Cephalopod,

In my opinion they taste too good to be used just for bait.

Nice work McFishn...

Take a note of the type of area you caught that squid in and the water conditions at the time. Repeat the same combination in other areas and you'll keep catching them mate.

Cheers, Slinky

nice one for your first squid...

I still haven't got a squid yet. Been at it for about a month, 3 sessions only though...

Nice to see such a tiny cuttle too, which is what I've caught as well.

Cheers..
