Mr.KingSpooled Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hey raiders where are all the squid in syd been out a few time and got some new jigs but no squid where are they all gone Hey mate, I went out last night to Jefferey St Wharf and had a play some squid. In about an hour managed 4 squid, nothing massive but perfect bait size 1 of them was a little bigger but 4 was more then enough for bait. Only problem being there was no where to fish by the time we caught our squid. All my harbour landbased jew spots where crowded. So decided to call it a night and bring the squid home for an afternoon fish today at Georges river. Planning on heading out around 5-6pm cheers, jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Squidy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) I must being doing something i have been down to gymea twice now and i only picked up 1squid each time but yet everyone else was bagging out Hi Brooker Boy, I head down there at least once a week so know the spot pretty well. A few tips: 1. Get yourself a good quality jig, it makes a huge difference. Try a yamashita in around a 1.8 or 2.0 either orange or natural colours. 2. Dont get sucked into fishing to shallow unless you can see the squid on the surface. 3. Again, unless you can see the squid I find a slow retrive works best, just a slow lift then let it settle back to the bottom for a second or two, then lift again. 4. If its just not working dont be afraid to ask the guys there for some advice, most people that i've met down there are usually pretty friendly. 5. Avoid the full moon, this seems to give enough light that the squid can feed wherever they like in the river so dont get drawn in to the lights as much as at other times. 6. The first hour of darkness and the last hour before the lights go out are usually the most productive. 7. Lastly dont get frustrated, took me a good five or six visits when i first started down there a few years back to get it all figured out. Hope that helps. Cheers, Rich Edited November 2, 2011 by Mr Squidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
