Middle Harbour Squid

[jlloyd]

In light of the excellent weather on Saturday the our son (11 months old) and a mate (first try at squdding) went for a squid session in Middle Harbour which was firing prior to the rainfall over recent months but since has not been any good (or more likely I am crap at eging as the Japanese call it). Nothing happened for an hour then I got a felt the standard tug and pull and reeled in a thumper 35 cm hood southern, interestingly and even bigger southern accompanied them to the surface. So I imemdiately cast out again and within 3 minutes I was on and carefully wound in a 40 cm hood southern. After this it was all over for me but my mate after an extensive Q/A about catching squid hooked into a 45 cm hood southern which was landed.

Overall this site, whilst not catching the quantity of squid observed in autumn is still producing some thumper winter squid which went down a treat on the BBQ marinated in olive oil, garlic, lime and white wine and of course a

Sorry no pics as we forgot the camera and then devoured the squid.
