Black Magic Squid Snatchers - opinions?

[Seniorfisho]

Would have been good hearing from Paul, he seems to definitely has years of experience within the EGI space and within the AUS /JDM fishing markets.
Good to just socialise sometimes.

He also works very closely with fisheries and has years worth of tagging and research info and knowledge about our local squid, getting info from him is priceless to me. I went specifically to have a chat to him in person and ask a few questions. I'll put those to test soon and see if it helps me do any better.
He is also a gun bream angler and fished many many tournaments back in the day. So a few bream chats were also had.
I got a few tips on snapper as well.

Is it still believed that squid only live for 12 months? I just can't see how one squid would weigh 3kg and others 500 grams. Back in the old days I used to see people with 3 maybe 4kg squid caught from the little landing at Portsea pier, they can't be 12 months old

Maybe it's time you went and had a listen to a few people with a bit more knowledge about these things. Instead of bagging it to no end without prior knowledge.
Everything you have enquired about was covered in detail. And plenty more if you were interested.

And for the Authority that have issues with people doing these sorts of things, let me just say it was a pleasure going to an event sponsored by themselves in part.
The event was held as part of a grants initiative given to fishing clubs from the vfa and the likes which use the money received in fishing fees to make these sorts of things happen.
Saltyyyy guideee much

Thanks for the hostile response, I was just asking a question.

I have no issues with people learning just don’t tell me you slept with a supermodel when you bought a gps mark to the local whorehouse. Come to think of it if your so desperate to justify your purchasing of marks I can always set up a go fund me page on top of that I will also contribute to arm extension surgery so you can hold those fish you previously purchased out a little bit closer to the camera. May also help you pull the Sun out of your arse.

Does it get any better than people bragging about squid, lol.

Pulled this section from 'Jigging for Science - Defining the spawning needs of calamari in Port Phillip Bay' which is a report from the Fisheries using data from 2013-2015, published in 2015.

Discusses the size variation between different regions and seasons.

Let people learn or go about their business however they want mate, what is it to you?
Why are you so bothered that people are buying gps marks and benefiting out of that, it's been 2 years man and your still butt hurt about the whole salt guide thing, move on man.
There's many ways of fishing, some just choose the easier way out, if you want to be so pedantic about doing everything yourself then so be it mate.. don't have a go at someone just because they did something that you don't like.

So its ok for you to be arrogant about a subject and then blame someone else for doing the same?
If you werent so arrogant about the whole topic earlier in the thread my response would have been a lot better.

Who did I blame for being arrogant? Just because someone isn't interested in catching squid doesn't make them arrogant. I've probably caught just as many squid as you so I don't see the problem. The only question I have is do they really die after 12 months? You would a blast at a party

You have completely missed my point the entire time I have mentioned it and been nothing but a disrespectful smartarse about it. I’ve got no problem with people being given advice
know how etc. The GPS mark exact spots is something completely different as a lot of these areas have been fished for years on end with very little boat traffic until a week later some turd whose used to fishing shoulder to shoulder out of Patto or Hastings Channel wants to do the same at other areas and localities which have previously been a reward for effort fishery is where I draw a line.

It’s when the purchased starts impacting on those who have put in the work on the water that it matters and there’s no doubt this has happened. People from Melbourne are culturally different to rural Victorians it’s a shame they couldn’t care less about walking all over them.

Edit:Some people from Melbourne
