Perfect score Rick well done mate. Any key secrets to success to share a p plate squidder like me?

[rickmarlin62]

Small yamashita jigs  1.8  most colours work  orange   natural browns   and green are my prefered   .i fish two jigs about 45 cm apart  80 to 90 cm under small float of a night under the jetty lights ...daytime drifting in boat  two jigs paternoster style near bottom...rick

Nice bag of squid there Rick

Did you donate any for a salt and pepper meal

[Yowie]

Nice bag of squid there.

When are you going to convert them to fish, or are you pigging out on squid recipes?

So Rick you don't work the jigs at all on the jetty?! You just let them drift?! I find that amazing as I always thought it was the action that attracts the squid. But you obviously get results!! BTW leave some squid for the rest of us. lol

Hi rick.

i heard your style of fishing for squid were much easier then bouncing it back is that true? and to me, it looks easier lol. 1m down from the float. but how deep are the water you fishing? and do you just slowly retrieve it back when the float sinks? or you just leave it there and wait for the float to sink then retrieve?

noob squider, would appreciate all advice.

 

thanks

[rickmarlin62]

we leave the jigs out static in the water under the float....sometimes we cast to frree swimming squid on the surface that we spot with head lights..rick

[Welster]

Id be pretty content with one a "bit slow" session like that.

[FranticD]

Rick, would you kindly please find a image of that set up which I can take a look at please?

Im trying to figure out how the jigs wouldn't get tangled in the line 

[rickmarlin62]

One on bottom one ip higher but only on short dropper..they do tangle sometimes but its worth it

[FranticD]

for that you need to know how deep the water is right? so you know how long the line under the float should be?

 

[rickmarlin62]

the water is roughly 2/2.5 mtrs  but the squid are hunting in the pool of light cast upon water by overhead lighting..a metre or 1.2 deep is plenty as the squid tend to stay down from the surface in general   occasionally you spot them on the surface...rick
