We caught 25 Calamari, releasing 5. between 4:10 - 5:40pm. All great size for that part of the bay (Mornington) with the biggest hood 33cm.

Very aggressive and had them all to ourselves. Some people reckon Jigs matter but in my opinion they don’t so much, at least when a hot bite is on. I was using a 3.0 Natural Mackeral Sephia. Josh was using a 2.2 Black Yamashita.

Headed down to the pier to clean our catch and take a few photos
Was an absolute feast the following nights.

Here are some Photos..

Great catch.

Well done :a_goodjob:

Did you save any for bait for a mulloway or you going for another separate session for that? :)

Cheers mate. Nah, didn’t. Caught some Pinkies that night using the heads only.

I only fish for the bigger species if I have bait caught that day tbh, otherwise just not worth it in my opinion.. from my experience this far at least :thumbsup:
Stick to what works best for you mate.
Can’t beat fresh bait caught that day anyway.
You managed some pinkies as well that night? Any good size ones? :)

That’s still a great lb session. Getting one 50 Cm lb is a good effort :)
