bobthelob2341 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Recently I’ve been really getting to squiding/eging. Mainly focusing on green eyes rather than arrow squid, and have been getting some solid results down the south coast but have decided to try Sydney waters again after a long hiatus. Tried some spots around 4-6m depth using 3.0-3.5 size jigs in various colours with some good results in the early morning. Favourite colours being black with red foil and green flashboost jigs. As the sun came up we moved into deeper water off the cliffs around 12-20m, this move produces resulting in multiple large squids, same jigs just added a small ball sinker to aid the jig in sinking faster. A good session considering the size and amount caught in a short period of time in the highly pressured waters of Sydney. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kept the bigger ones for eating and vacuum sealed the smaller ones for kingfish bait. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The water was pretty clear out of Port Hacking, could easily see the bottom in 5m and out further the water was a nice clean blue. Not sure how it will be after all this rain though.

Nice session mate, in deeper water do you just run the ball sinker all the way down to the jig or do you use a swivel? I mainly squid in 4-6m but keen to try some deeper water when the new boat arrives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, I used a running sinker to my snap swivel and connected the squid jig on to it makes it easier to change jigs to try different colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
