Squidding landbase

The question shouldn't be where...but when and how...

We all know squids like bright lights, hangs around weeds and reef...

Around the Gong, I fish around the break walls with lights at Port Kembla.

The usual reef are Windang and Hill 60. There are always other anglers around.

So try to find a place with less people so you can try out few retrieving techniques.

I don't have any secret spot in particular. I fish depending on wind, tides and swell directions.

And I fish with squid jigs. I normally out fish other angler that uses skewer on yellow tail 4:1

I uses an EGI rod. And probably cast over 200 times per session. Also I have a home made squid gaff.

Allowing me to lift big squid over rock ledges.

I have a collection of squid jigs. If my fav one doesn't work. I would switch to another straight away

after few cast of not catching any. At the same time I don't take breaks. The whole time I there I'm always casting.

So it is abit of work. Not as easy as it seems.

I've been squiding alot lately, and I've caught a fair few. I think its good time now to try and catch some.

Pretty sure anyone can catch a few if they arm themselves correctly...

Persistence is the key .. and Good luck..

yeah I did notice the green eyes at gymea about a month ago, but there was only 3 in the morning, I helped another bloke on the wharf with my extendable net to get a nice 1kg one on land, I only landed a small cuttle which I through out for a king with no luck >.<. Tho loads of pike at gymea, noticed them demolishing the yakkas there.

as for the jew fishing, nothing in particular, did have a half decent run but it dissapeared before I could count to 3. May need some inspiration off another fellow jewfisher man to accompany me.
