Squid Do It To Me Again

[paulg]

Last night about 8 - 9 pm,

Turned up to the local wharf, in search of some squid.

Water depth was about 1.0 metre.

I was watching 4 squid under the wharf's light not taking any notice of my squid jigs ... ...

I threw cheap jigs at them, in blue, pink and green in 2.0 and yozuris 1.8's in green and orange and they did not even follow.

Varied retrieve to super slow, twitches and fast but it did not make any difference.

Any tips ?

MRRB.

if squid dont want to play ball try rubbing some pilly on them to give them some scent

That's fishing mate, caught four squid on Wednesday and returned to the same place Sunday for zip, squid usually prefer calm,clear water maybe the rain put them off a bit.

Definitely worth trying scent or doing the pilly rubbing trick.

Scent for sure, egimax is expensive stuff but i reckon it works wonders.

Also try changing your action as well as working different depths. Also try dropping down leader size or going to a clear fluro carbon.

sometimes the squid dont want a bar of whatever you throw at them! I had the same problem last night, could see heaps of squid following the jigs but just wouldnt take any of them, it was only until i got over trying and sat of the wharf with my line dangling in the water while waiting for my mate that i actually hooked one! thats fishing i suppose

Another scent to try that most people have already is gulp juice! Stick your jig into a gulp packet and swish it around!

Or you can buy it in a spray bottle if you want to get super serious.

Thanks for the response,

I had another go last night, just after sunset.

The 25 knot southerly didnt do me any favours and I could see no squid.

I'll try again soon .........

Ha! How do you get them to stay still to rub the pillys on them?

Gives it extra flavor before throwing them into bread crumbs!
