finallyOnline Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Long time between posts but thought id post one as its been to long,went to my local squid spot last night expecting it to be a carpark hangout like usual but no one was there and thought that this had to be a good sign as i had the whole wharf to myself(greedy haha).First cast gets snagged,lose favourite yamashita jig not a good start to the nite im thinking.tried my second fave jig but there not touching it,tried 4 other proven jigs and not a touch.thought id try these $1 jigs that were on sale at my local fishing shop as i had nothing to lose and damn did they like them or what,10 squid in 30 mins 2 of them big.success on the squid now counting down the days for the weekend to try and convert them into jews.will post pictures if successful on the weekend.tight lines guys....

How do you store or freeze the squid? saltwater, freezer, fridge etc. i've had a few people tell me completely different things. thanks. jaykay and ribs,the best way to store ur squid to keep it nice and fresh would be to keep ur squid in glad resealable zip lock bags(coles or woolies sell them in 50 packs)i use the 18x17 size.put ur squid in the bag and before u lock it tight,squeeze out all the air and then zip lock it and store away in freezer(i find it keeps the squid much more fresh that way).im very pedantic about keeping my squid fresh and this is not a necessity and u dont have to but i turn down the setting in my freezer by about a couple of degrees(still ensure that it freezes though).finally make sure u dont mix the squid with any fresh water(dont try to rinse it down or anything before storing).
