Paikea Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hi Raf, you have to let us know whether you are fishing out of a boat or land based. Makes a huge difference. Cheers Paikea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbk1776 Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Yeh sorry guys Will be land base Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00ROTA Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 many places champ. Look for sand, weed, and structure, and chances are they have frequented the spot. These are some of my usual points of call for a few squid. Pier 2, Jeffrey St Wharf, Cremorne point wharf, Greenwich Wharf, Clifton Gardens, Cowan Creek, Cottage Point, etc They are quite thick in numbers at the moment in the deeper spots. Like i said, look for sand, weed, and structure. There are also the decent size southern Calamari around if you know where to look and dont mind a bit of rock fishing. I have had a pretty productive weekend on them myself. I only know the hawkesbury and Syd harbour areas, so Wollongong i am unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00ROTA Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Fishnatic, boat or land based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanFish Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 00rota, x2 re squid in the Hawkesbury and Broken Bay Area. Im keen to know where they hide other than the north end of the Palm Beach headland which I find very hit and miss ... i have access to both land based and a boat.

brecko90 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Fishnatic, boat or land based? In a boat mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbk1776 Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Gazza thanks for the pointer mate Im going out with couple of mates this Friday night we might hit up North Sydney and surroundings. I will be targeting the Squids and couple of mates will try their luck with Flatties I guess. Will be bringing my Patrol to the city - something I really do not want to do lol BR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00ROTA Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Really depends where in the hawkesbury you go. I do alot of night fishing on the boat, and have LED strips set up on the gunnel This attracts the bait fish extremely easily, and in turn the squid. Down Cowan Creek, there is a point just down from Cottage Point, that forks off towards Smiths Creek. This is easily one of my favourite spots. Dont even need to get too much activity in the jig. I use 2.5 sized jigs, and flick 2 jigs out per rod rigged on a paternoster. I use a couple rods too. All with different natural colours. Normally flick them out, let them settle, and theres a squid on the end. Ofcourse if your towards pittwater, the top of Barrenjoey Heads holds squid in numbers, and the Pillboxes. I have a few other little top squidding spots, but dont want to reveal them, as they are already getting pretty crowded. Tips are, look for weed and jumbled structure on your sounder, make sure water is clear, go nuts. You will find them in the most interesting places!

kts350 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Going to try some squiding next week when I start my holidays, I bought some jigs last year and haven't been fishing since I never find the time my daughter has been bugging me for months for a feed of fresh squid.
