Rafinx Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 (edited) Been awhile since ive decided to post a report, but last night seemed acceptable to do just that. It started off with SQUIDDIN, Sara and I just heading out for a bait run for squids. The squid started slow with not a bite until the tide start to come in. With Moe slamming the first squid on the wharf. Shortly after I hooked up a little bait size squid. After I had another decent size one come in when I yell at Moe to bring his jig in because I thought mine had chasers. Turned out it had 4 chasers, which we only managed to grab one. The squid started heating up as between Moe, Sara and I, we were the only ones catching on the wharf. Sara got the price of the largest Arrow of the day pulling in one that just kept peeling line every time she tried to bring it in. Cungee George, ADawg and Snyder came down to the wharf and came to check out the bait fest we were getting. Wanted to take the time to say thanks for Adawg bringing down a couple of pizza's for us to eat. Cungee decided to have a go on Moe's rod and quickly he hooks up proving he is a champion of squids. All up we got 19 squids 2 got dropped. I felt bad as others there were giving up as they did not catch any that night. Wanted to say thanks to Squiddin for abit of encouragement that the squids will pick up later in the night. All in all we now have a decent set of baits for the jews when summer hits.

Rafinx Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Yeah what happened is, he told us not to point our headlamps in the water, it spooks for squid, fair enough, but we kept to our side and in the end he caught 2 squid that night. Doesnt matter Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brooker435 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Good work guys on the Squid, about the light thing it doesn't make sense as why would they sell luminescent squid jigs?? that's just my opinion of course. maybe the light upsets the fish who knows!!! at least you blokes managed to stock up on some top quality baits and a feed too!!

MrJ Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 All the professional squidding boats Ive seen in Thailand and stuff all use massive lights to draw the squid in. They light up the horizon like a floating city! It's probably the lights that draws the squid to the wharves in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Squidy Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) Nice work guys, good haul there. I have to say i disagree on much of whats been said regarding shining your torches straight at them. Whilst large fixed lights definitely attract the squid in as they provide a constant steady light for them to feed in (in a similar way to a full moon) but I think it is a totally different story when people go flashing their head torches straight at them. Sometimes they are agressive enough that it wont bother them but at other times, from my experience, it deffinitely spooks them. Reckon your much better off just getting your lure in front of them and geeing them up that way.
