Penguin Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Nice squid congrats I would be eating them though and leaving the heads to the fish. The number of times I have lost good qualty squid to pickers is astounding. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the elk Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Thats a great haul of ceph there. Nice work. Just a question - why dont you collect your squid in the morning prior to targetting Kings? How effective do you find frozen squid versus live/fresh? Has anyone done any tests on this i.e. fished side by side a mate with different baits on? Personally, I like the thought of using live squid whenever possible. It would outfish dead/frozen nearly everytime. I would be interested in other Raiders thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledock Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 I dont freeze them just keep them in a cold fridge, air tight. The heads nearly always get hit by kings but ive noticed the strips are less effective over freshly caught squid tubes. And yes we still hit the squiding grounds early in the morning. But its always good to have a plan B if the squid dont bite on the day. In my experiance its all about how fussy the kings are on the day, as ive seen them turn there nose up at a freshly caught squid and other days they would hit my 4 day old (Fridged) squid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the live squid out fishes the fresh dead squid and vice versa. But if Gregs record is anything to go by the "fresh dead" squid is just as good as the live ones, he never misses a beat, and with the exception of living in Townsville last year for 9-11months he has caught kingys every month of the year as far back as 2006. Not bad considering our live bait tank is not big enough, and only used for yakkas. Dan & Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledock Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Going out tomorrow in the harbour with my 48hr old squid hopefully there around. Heres a pic of what they look like 48hrs later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Nice catch of squid there mate & good luck tommorow. A trick I used to use to great effect was to let the squid ink all over themselves in the bag. I try to not let them ink in the water. Don't want to lose the good stuff. It can get a bit messy though. I've found a squid strip covered in ink & guts will always outfish a clean strip. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G'day Elk, The way you fish for squid I would stick to the fish markets squid if I were you .... it is always nice to be squidding and king fishing in the same outing. That is just for mine.
