brecko90 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hey Raiders, went out on the hawksbury 2 days ago and headed straight to pittwater in hope of some squid for some nice jewie baits. Any way to cut a long story short couldn't find any squid gave it a good 2 hours for nothing so had to resort to a block of pillies needless to say did no good with them either. Just wondering if i was doing every thing right in my hunt for squid and if i was in the right location, can anyone steer me in the right direction?

ashisnothereman Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 if the rain holds off head to areas around palm beach ferry wharf. use a selection of yo zuri, yamashita jigs: i personally like orange/brown but it really does come down to what you find works and the conditions somewhat. aim for squid and keep fishing for squid, live the pillies for another time. im sure you will find some squid then fish that area.

rjc123 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Definitely Give Palm Beach a go! Just inside barrenjoey headland is worth a shot too. There's a sheltered sort of area with weed flats and a bit of reef. Its the sort of spot you either get 10 or 0 at.. Don't forget west head for yakkas and slimies. They'll appeal a whole lot more than a pilchard to a big jewie! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushtaka Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Pittwater as been very slow for squid of late. Water looks good but not many around. The wharf has been very slow only one or two small ones over the last few weeks. The big ones should start to come in soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rockpool have dried up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
