St Leonards Calamari - Going Strong - 4/12/2021
Hey legends,
Back again with another weekly update on the calamari and all round fishing @ St Leonards Pier.
The calamari are ON FIRE this week, three sessions 16 squid (12 last week). If you want more info, I post my success three times a week ( on Instagram @FishingAndrew. Cheers
Snapper are on the bite, high tide/ N or SE winds.
Saturday 27/11/2021
WEATHER: 17C, LIGHT CLOUDS, RUN IN TIDE, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7PM
Squid are freaking out over red jigs and come 6:30PM they fire up, they were sitting out deeper and the mate and I took turns hooking up and snagging the following squid. Four pairs, caught 4, mate caught the other 4.
Monday 28/11/2021
WEATHER: 22C, OVERCAST, RUN IN, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7:30PM
Red jig and they came thick and fast. They were sitting on the sand I'd pull one in every 2-3mins, seeing as they were smaller they proved a little hesitant but that didn't stop them. Caught six, mate caught 4, saw only one other squid caught on the pier. Friday 3/12/2021
WEATHER 12C, OVERCAST, RUN OUT LOW TIDE, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7:30
Rinse and repeat, and come 6:30PM they were on, caught another 6, young bloke next to me caught 3 - saw only 2 other squid caught along the whole pier. Not a single squid on the concrete. Secret spot does it. Cheers all,
Keen to get a few more this Sunday, legit hoping for overcast weather.

Awsome catch man as always, great report. I saw you there when I arrived, I waved and called out your name but you were too busy chatting to some blokes so I was ignored lol all good, the squid slowed down after you left, I only managed 2 that night, but I did manage half a dozen whiting a nice flatty, couple 45cm pinkies and 20 makerels. Was fun, plenty fisherman's there some with nice snappers in the 2kg mark.

Good stuff, as always. Gotta have a red jig in the box.
I also caught most squid in past with red jig.

I was there was night. Saw one bloke get a flatty over 50cm at the half way point of pier. Me and my mate only managed a few whiting and nice pan pinkie. Seems like a very productive pier. Especially at night. Do the the bigger fish usually get caught down near the rocks?Kenle wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 6:18 pmAwsome catch man as always, great report.

Yeah, the rock side of the pier has been pretty productive on the right winds, saw one 2-3kg fish caught last night. That said, there has been a few good fish caught facing towards Indented.Don Fisher wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 4:39 pmI was there was night.

Squid didn't really fire up last night, caught 4, saw another 4 caught. Very slow.
