damariboyz Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Could someone please help the dope with a lesson on proper squid release technique. If the squid is being brought to the boat does it's ink projectile area point at you or away from you. How do you despatch a squid without the inevetable ink shower. Yes your right im a dope. That's why I fish cause fish dont discriminate. Regards Russell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckendorfmortgage Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Ahhhhhh, inked. I find a bit of agitating in the landing net usually gets them to spurt their stuff. Make sure the tentacle end is not facing towards you. A good inking however always makes for a story when you are back home. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narralakes Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Thats a great pic, lucky he had his raincoat on as well. Do what Pedro said and instead of using a net, that gets all inked, its easier just to grab it firmly by the head as it is being angled along side the boat.

Bashir Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 (edited) I managed to go a few years without getting inked. I jinxed myself on these forums. I had nailed a huge squid at my secret spot and when I brought the thing in the boat, it exploded all over my legs and stomach and the boat was a huge mess, this thing was the Ron Jeremy/Peter North of Broken Bay I tell you!

gianniz Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 best way to avoid getting splashed is to make it squirt all its ink in the water... To do this all you have to do is slightly raise (ever so slightly) it above the water level so its tentacles are slightly out of the water.. this should induce its defense mechanism... when it does lowever it down to water level... repeat 2-3times until all you see it squirting is water.

giles Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 You can always point the squid at your mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covanova Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Up at lake macquarie my brother and I would often get amongst a school of squid and bring in 10 or so in our little 6ft yacht tender. Being young and immature, it would often turn into a water/ink pistol fight, with both of us using the bucket to "reload" the stuff stinks and they can be slippery little buggers!
