quintrex480 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Hi Raiders. This is related to the post submitted by Formosan (http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=62677) We took 2 boats out on Sunday searching for Kings. Getting the squid was a little difficult for my boat as the current was running quite strong and I didn't have any heavy jigs, but Formosan had them jumping into his tank, he even had to offload some yakkas as he was running out of room for his squid But as soon as the current slowed down, we got onto them as well. We ventured outside and put them down on the DR, wasn't too hopeful as the sounder was quite bare and only ended up picking up a stinky salmon, so both boats decided to venture inside and DR around the drums. And that's when the action started, Formosan's boat was onto them whilst the only thing I was onto was bad luck, pulled hooks, line wrapping around anchor, rod tip breaking, I can still go on but you get the point. Here is a quick video of the day, too bad the camera wasn't on Foromosan's boat, would have got actual footage of kings being landed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocZfLQ3OL2w Edited April 18, 2012 by quintrex480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formosan Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Top video mate. Kudos to you for sharing your techniques and location and give people a visual insight to how you do things in the bay and beyond. Bloody good soundtrack... sounds similar to another fishing show...

stacko69 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Awesome video boys. I always fish Botany Bay in my boat but can never find the squid. Do you have a preferred time you go to catch them. I think I know where to get them but just don't seem to find them. Any tips for a novice squid fisher would be much appreciated.

Cheers Stacko mate~ the preferred time to go is any time before quintrex and formosa turn up! If you see those two chaps at the squid grounds you might as well pack it up and head back to the ramp! ie. set your alarm for 4am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do have the Go Pro Hero2 on order, so I'll get better quality videos. Haven't been able to bump into you lately on the water, maybe this weekend? mate~ the preferred time to go is any time before quintrex and formosa turn up!

But it was all the other bad luck that I had that day that caused me to 1. Boat went over my line squidding and almost spooled my line (not mentioning any names, FORMOSAN! ) 2. Line wrapping around the prop, taking another sh!tload of line 3. Falling into the drink whilst trying to get the line off the prop and badly hitting my arms and legs on the engine. 4. Rod tip snapping Edited April 18, 2012 by quintrex480 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
