Two morning sessions chasing squid

[61 crusher]

Got out at 7:30 to my local rock ledge yesterday morning first cast & was on & thought I was going to have a great session but ended up with 3 takes & 2 squid just shy of 30cm hood length for 3 1/2hours, decided to have another crack this morning arriving around 8am (should’ve been there at dawn for both sessions) first cast & on again, this time 4 squid from 4 hits 

There aren’t many around but they are a good eating size, should be a couple of tasty meals in those half dozen 😃

Well done great eating or to use for bait

Nice squid mate, you don't need too many for a feed when there that size

Yummy........how do you cook them?

I'm not the OP but I find rolling in flour then cooking on a well oiled BBQ gives an amazing taste - my favourite seafood! ..or is it lobster, crab, prawns, oysters.. tough choice! 😁

They don't need long, once the rings stop shrinking they're done, maybe 30 secs a side depends on the bbq heat..

They are some massive squid. Enjoy the feed mate and save the heads. I owe you a trip chasing snapper! 

Cheers scratchie!!!

Usually flour (with salt, pepper & other spices), egg, Panko crumbs & fried, I’ve tried a few other ways but it’s what the rest of the family prefers

Devoured last night & tasted great even the tentacles I reckon they are the best part, soft with a beautiful crunch, maybe next time I’ll keep a few heads & guts for bait (Snapper, Kingy & Jew candy)

Nice work mate, I bet they tasted great 👍

I still haven't been out since NB but wont be long & back into it.

Haven't been to that store you suggested yet but will give these a crack next outing.

Hopefully I can get me some of those tasty Cephalopods 😊

Thanks mate they went down a treat, I haven’t been out in the boat since but I’m sure you would be doing alright on the venison front if you’re getting out there, those colours look good, red one early & late afternoon get them down near the bottom & go slow & mix it up a little, good luck
