SquidyJ Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Hi fellow raiders, I manage to catch a dozen squid despite the strong winds and rain, is this strange or squids will bite once they're hungry? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquibblyDibbly Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I reckon squid fishing get better when the weather is average and the water a bit choppy. Nice catch mate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only made it better cause I was by myself on the jetty. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergofisher Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 nice good little feed there. What technique got them on the chew, slow life or jigging? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Nice feed there. I have had a couple of experiences in Botany Bay boat fishing where the squid have come on hard when the conditions turned to crap. It was right out in the middle of the bay and the arrow squid were hitting the jigs as soon as they hit the surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campr Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 They gotta eat too regardless of the conditions. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Fergo, I've notice that double jig at 1.5 g each and just letting it sink at the bottom then jig it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Some really nice Kingie baits there squidyJ. I’m not a great “ squidder” (only chase them to get Kingies), but a small amount of rain doesn’t seem to affect them too much, but a lot of rain causes them to go deep as fresh water is less dense than salt and so floats on top, where the squid can’t survive. When I’ve caught squid after heavy rain, I’ve had them die in the live bait tank as the pickup is at the back of the boat and sucks in the fresher, less salty water. To catch them after a big fresh, I hunt around the ocean headlands on the run in tide, which brings in the salt water and pushes the fresh back, after really heavy rain (like now) I think they might head out to sea or sulk in deep salty holes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
