It's a shame you had no luck on the square mouthed leather jackets you were targetting on that beach rod combination of 14lb braid using 20lb fluro for sensitivity instead of piano wire, still the combination may come in handy to land a small octopus attached to an artificial garden rock that has been disposed of down there, keep at it Ben they are all great eating especially if the garden rock is kept away from flame......

wttmrwolf Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 He/she definitely went straight back in after some photos with the paparazzi. Didn't put up much of a fight. I called it as a bream when it hooked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wttmrwolf Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sylvania, no more squid. I tried for another 3 hours to catch squid so I could put some fresh bait on the hook but nothing. By the end of the session I was putting on squid heads from a previous catch. Might head down there this Wednesday night for another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
