DaveTheBoy Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Headed down this morning to a middle harbour wharf for a friendly session & to teach a newbie mate a few of the basics. Probably spent more time untangling line & removing snags than fishing - anyhow managed 15 calamari which made the effort worthwhile. Also floated out one small squid live for the bonito, and kept a couple slimys for bait which were caught by my mate on a handline after his rod/reel privileges were removed for repeated infringements (namely hitting me in the head & hooking my fingers while baiting). Busted off what I thought to be a rat king also on a whole small squid, though it stayed very deep & circled after the first runs. Ended up besting me on the pylons before I got a look at it. Anyhow fun times & calamari for dinner with a few to spare for the bait freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolongeramember Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Those in the picture are arrow squid rather than calamari. You can still eat them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimDinh Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) great work Dave, those definitely southern calamary in the haul (green eyes) Edited March 16, 2014 by I like fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 great work Dave, those definitely southern calamary in the haul (green eyes) I always thought Southern Calamari had its wings the full length of the body. The wings in the picture look shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveTheBoy Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 Cheers guys - I think we've always called any type of squid 'calamari' for ease in our house so apologies for the wrong description. In this catch there was 1 true calamari (wings are obstructed in the pic) and the rest were indeed arrows. Agree they all make great bait & taste excellent on the BBQ also!

Nah mate no need to apologize I was just thinking maybe you didn't know but you do After a bit of poking around there is another type of squid called a Loligo or Hawkesbury Squid that those can possibly be, going by the description I found. Anyone know their squids? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
