Re: Squid reports
It's in the technique, I think. You can bounce a jig along the bottom in the same way you'd work a soft plastic. No need for a sinker.

Re: Squid reports
You dont want the squid jig to hit the bottom cos it will snag and you mite loose it.ChrisTaylor wrote:It's in the technique, I think. You can bounce a jig along the bottom in the same way you'd work a soft plastic. No need for a sinker.
The idea is to cast wait 5 seconds to sink, jig / jerk 2 to 3 times, wind, let sink till its almost near the bottom and repeat.
The squid will see it and come from the bottom and follow and attack if it wants

Re: Squid reports
Was out today from 8-10. Hit RAF, campbell cove 4-5 m. Nothing. Water was super clear though. Maybe I should have gone deeper or further out.

Re: Squid reports
Interesting. I was seeing bottom at 2-3 m. Did not think there would be squid so shallow so had no faith. Will take your advice on try 2.5-3.5 next time.smile0784 wrote:Never fished there but all my squid c9me from 2.5 to 3.5mt of water.

Re: Squid reports
Went to Clifton Springs yesterday. Water was clean up to about 4m then went very dirty. Fished the usual patch in 5-6m and only got 3 big ones in about 5 hours. Very quiet. Others fishing for whiting around me got nothing (squid or whiting).

Re: Squid reports
Went out off Werribee yesterday morning between the ramp and Campbells cove in about 3.5m and struggled. Only managed 2 small models. Not sure what the issue was (Not deep enough, jig size/color) Just good to get a decent day and be back out on the water.
