Quick update on the calamari being caught @ St Leonards Pier, the past week we've had great numbers and smaller sized hoods. Mornings and Evenings are the go-to for productive sessions. Snapper are on the bite in the evenings.

WEATHER: 16C LIGHT CLOUDS, HIGH TIDE, CLEAN RUN IN
TIME: 5:30-7
The squid this week have been hesitant in the lighter hours, and then fire on the setting sun or when the wind kicks up. BRIGHT COLOURS have been the favourite.
Knowing the squid were smaller and hesitant I went for a hopping action for the longer sink, which proved highly effective. Casting out over the weed and then going for a deep sink over the sandy bottom accounted for 5 squid. Saw another 5 caught between two mates. Three best colours this sessions were the RED, ORANGE and PINK. Saw a few using natural colours with zero luck.

Hit the red jig again and once that wind kicked up @ 6PM they were on the bite.
I started pulling them in one every 2 minutes, which is great when they're really hesitant touching the squid without committing. Two blokes to me couldn't get a bite on the white jig, both swapped to orange and they were on. Mix of sizes all small to medium. Ended up with 6, blokes either side of me caught 3/3 each. Super great session.
