Altona Squid and big flathead with video

Thought I’d share a PPB video fishing report. We launched from Altona, the weather was perfect, and the fishing was great. We headed to shallow squid grounds towards point cook fishing depths between 3-6 meters deep. We almost bagged out on squid. Red and pink squid jigs the standout, worked slowly. We then moved on drifting and caught some really good size flathead, using squid tentacles as bait on paternoster rigs. Biggest flattie was in the mid 60’s. We also caught whiting, pinkies and a gummy shark. Despite having a banana emergency onboard, the day turned out great.

G'day mate! Nice one! We went out today and had no luck (see my post). Yours makes me think we are definitely doing something wrong! Appreciate any insights/tips etc...

I know a few people who went out today and said it was tough going. A lot of follows but no hook-ups. Sometimes its just like that. I found that a few colour changes and retrieving super slow, with some occasional lifts and pauses helped heaps. In the morning white was getting hits then a little later on only red and orange were getting hits. Strange but that what was happening
