The evening squid were caught on the above, brown back, rainbow underbody 3.5 Yamashita jig. During the evening most of us switched to a more natural darker back, brown and bl...

Re: St Leonard's Report 21/10/2019

Returned for round 2 this-evening. Sunny clear day, light-moderate winds SSE with a high water clarity. Within 15 minutes landed two large squids, they didn't even let the squid jig reach the bottom. A large squad of squid moved in, about 20+ in number. Saw 8-9 landed within 10 minutes. Added an add...
