vandal Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Hey Guys Went out Port Hacking for a squid session as it is around this time when the big ones start to come out and play. Pink Daiwa MD Squid Jig did most of the damage and the biggest squid going close to 2kg. Anyone been getting many decent fish in the hacking lately? As it has been a bit dead for me besides the squids. I have just loaded a few pic of some squid i have caught since there seem to be high interest in squid on this forum :-) http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?app=gallery&module=user&user=14840&do=view_album&album=609 Edited July 8, 2010 by Vandal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxter Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hey Vandal Any hints as to how far up the hacking you got the great haul. Even if just land or boat based? Well done in any case. Wrxter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenno64 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 They are GIANT squidlies!! What jigs and line class do you use for them? You should open a Calamari Kiosk!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Hey Jenno64 I use a little heavier this time of year. Daiwa MD Jig 2500 symetre 10lb braid 20lb leader When a monster jumps on then fills up with water they get pretty damn heavy. I actually have few kg of squid wings and heads i need to offload as i forgot to seperate them into smaller containers and froze them up and i have so many in the freezer i really cant be bothered with the mess of trying to seperate them. They are GIANT squidlies!! What jigs and line class do you use for them? You should open a Calamari Kiosk!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingky Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Big Squid make my 71cm Kingie look like a little Tailor That's bloody awesome mate Ever thought about "squidding tours"?!! lol Haven't seen any that big in a while. Very inspiring. Do u let the jig find its way to the bottom or do u also use an anchor to assist it to the bottom. U must know the good spots. Well done.

brendong Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Gees no wonder the fish are laying low in hacking, probably don't want to get harassed by monster squid! Awesome work there Vandal.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camel Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Nice squid Vandal Haven't seen monsters like that in the river for years. When you say Port Hacking I'm guessing Bait Bay is included in that area? Cheers Camel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Some squid are Bate Bay (Very Close to mouth of hacking any boat could get there). My PB squid were caught about 200 metres from the 8 Knott Zone. Other squid where caught inbetween Bundeena Wharf and Jibbon beach. My spot in Bate Bay is on my GPS and doesn't have a name.

Mr Squid Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Excellent catch there Vandal, even though your Bate Bay squid spot in your GPS dosen't have a name the co-ordinates will be fine. lol Squidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandal Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Judging by your Name i am guessing you already know what the Co-Ordinates are :-) Excellent catch there Vandal, even though your Bate Bay squid spot in your GPS dosen't have a name the co-ordinates will be fine. lol Squidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
