Pickles Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I’ve been out three times in the past week and each time I’ve got good squid, both in size and number. last trip (Saturday) 9 were boated, 2 annoyingly lost with lures returning with bits of the candle attached (need to be more gentle in future). They appear to have moved off the deeper sea grass beds and into the shallower kelp and there are a few “Crakens”amongst them, but also some little ones. A month ago there were quite a few little cuttlefish coming in also, but haven’t got any in the past 4 trips. WARNING - one of my buddies was squidding over near the “Toilet rolls” ( big white circular appartments in Many bay) and was issued a fine. This is / was an excellent squid ground, but not worth it. Nearly every time I go out on Sydney harbour I am checked by Fisheries, Maritime or water police - I am always compliant and have always found the services polite and positsive, but they are very vigilant.

lakelad Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Nice report Pickles, have you got any 'must do' tips on squidding, what's your fishing technique and jigs used? I've been meaning to give it a crack off Swansea. Edited October 3, 2018 by lakelad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyIsSkyBlue Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Has anyone had a flick at Malabar in recent weeks? Was dead a few weeks ago, wondering if it has picked up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
