Hi Raiders, the mrs has been complaining that I ain't bringing no squid home anymore. DON'T USE THEM ALL FOR BAIT!!! she always says LOL!

My meeting this morning got canned, so what else am I a suppose to do? load the yak and a quick squid session before heading into the office is what!! :D

First squid went a good size, and decided to get excited and squirt about a litre of ink all over me and the yak! not happy Jan! :ranting2:

Then on every drift, they came on board, dropped a couple too, my fault for not bringing the net.

As the water is cooling, the bigger ones are coming into the bay to spawn, and from the feel of their strikes, they are HUNGRY! so get out there and get them!!

Nice catch. I am new to kayak fishing, I was wondering if there are any tricks to catch them off the yak or special technique? I am wondering since the yak is so quiet, could you peddle/paddle around trolling squid lures to any success?

Mate the Harbour was the same for me last night getting 3 green eye and dropping 2 in 40 minutes at dusk.

They really were hitting the jigs hard. My boat got inked bad but I managed a quick " duck 'n' weave".

no tricks, same as what you would do on the boat or land based, the main thing is to get the jig down into the strike zone which is about 1m off the bottom. So whatever you do, be it a drift a slow troll or anchor, you have to make sure the jig is down there. Oh and also find the right colour as well, that goes a long way!

A nice feed there.

Next time, put on a motorcycle helmet. :074: A little bit of squid ink goes a long way!

might have to try that one next time, not sure what kind of looks I'll be getting my way though ehehhe

I think all squid hunters should invest in one of these :

oh man! perfect, there could be a market right there for this!

Haha classic. Don't they use squid ink for pasta sauce in Italy?

I'm not kidding!

yes, the Japanese also put them in their noodles. I have tried it, and beats me why they do! taste like crap! ahahaha
