I have never targeted squid before, but I have a trip planned this school holidays for port Albert. I will be fishing off the pier and have my 9 and 13-foot Alveys for beach fishing. I have one squid jig but I will get some 5-dollar ones out of the VIPs bit at anaconda when I go to get my supplies for the trip. I can't really tell any difference between those jigs and the $18 jigs, maybe just quality.
I'm just looking for tips on jig size/colour/ where to fish off the pier or the areas around port Albert.
what should I be looking for? how should I jig them? what line should I use? I will be taking a big lure flicking Alvey spin combo (9 kilos) for salmon and larger fish from the surf but I have a Shimano sienna 2500 with 6-kilo braid on it (it's bright yellow, will that matter). i have it on a 2-4 kilo Shimano Catana.
is that alright for squid? what leaders do I need?
any tips or help would be appreciated
