St Leonards Pier - Calamari 10/12/2022

Post by Andrews » Mon Dec 12, 2022 8:15 am

Hey everyone,

Sharing a quick report of a quick EGI session at St Leonards Pier Saturday, 10/12/2022.

Conditions were perfect:
Light winds from the S, clear water with a slight sediment, clear skies full sun, run in tide.

The squid were pretty active, saw maybe 20 or so caught between quite a few people - but the surprising this was that 99% of the squid caught were on the start of wooden section. This happened last year and like last year, all the squid were smaller and taken on the sandy bottom.

I was flicking the new 2022 Yamashita EGI-OH K Neon Bright colours in the #2.5 profile.

Caught a total of 8 in two hours, releasing one tiny hood.

Keen to chase plenty more of these over summer as after 1 year of travelling for work, I'll be heading back full time on the Bellarine.
If anyone wants to have a flick chasing some squid over summer, give me a yell - always down to egi haha!

Cheers,

Andrew

Cheers both!

Yeah, might head out between now and the holidays for some more fresh squid, maybe some fish too.

Thanks Persistence, should be plenty more reports coming up! :)
