These south westerly winds have kept the water crystal clear and the squid active. Past fortnight we exclusively had been getting bigger squid in that 30CM+ range but since Monday 19/10/2020, a plenty mix of smaller 20CM+ models have been actively hunting our jigs!
Monday 19/10/2020 Overcast, rainy, south westerly winds with a crystal clear rising tide.
Squid were quiet, snuck out in the afternoon for an hour with the hope the winds would make the water clear.
Within minutes on the drop this thumper squid grabbed the jig we were on!
Dinner was caught and I headed home preparing for the better weather Tuesday.
Bang on 30CM hood and put up a nice fight!
Squid #1 First cast and bang! We're on, this is where those smaller squid started appearing after being absent.
Since the clouds were coming and going I went the crystal white with that pearlescent colouring, works a charm when the light hits it.
Had word that last night a mini-bus of people turned up, clearly from Melbourne and the police ended up giving a fine to all of the 8 individuals that were there. They were told to head back to Melbourne, odds are they'll fish somewhere else or return after dark. Shame to see.
