No Kingies - but got a squid - LBG

[Kooks]

So i went out yesterday morning in search of a kingie in the harbour from a landbased location. So headed to my usual spot in the east near vaucluse and got yakkas. I chucked one out while I tried for squid. I noticed my livie float was submerged but not moving...squid me thinks. So I slowly wind it in to see a nice large specimen . This is the same one that seems to be terrorising my livies each seshing. So the squid drops my de-brianed livie and skulks off to the depth, while I grab my jig rod and cast beyond where he was. A quick wind and a few jerks and I'm on...only problem is he's stripping line off my rod. I reckon I had about about 3 kg drag on. Anyways I got him up with out a net which was very nerve racking as I had to swing him up on to dry land.

So he was to big to chuck out whole so he became my dinner....yum. No kingines, salmon or bonnies...very quiet out there. The water seems very cold.

Is it squid that is braining my livies? This has happened to me a couple of times at night off the beach (like Narrabeen). Occasionally, seemingly without being touched by fish, my livies come in very dead, with their brains and eyes very neatly cut out and otherwise untouched.

Are squid to blame? Anyone caught squid off surf beaches? If so, what's the setup?
