Thanks mate. I usually focus on 15m-25m but have caught bigger ones out towards 30m. Be careful in close pick the right day as things can change quickly.

Good luck mate it's great fun.

Lovely conditions outside for a quick afternoon bash along the cliffs. Calamari were firing, we managed 7 in an hour all 33cm+ hoods biggest going 36cm. Water is clearing up which is good to see. Enjoy the long weekend ✌️ Dan

Happy Friday Raiders. I wanted to see if anyone would share their experiences chasing dollies in the later afternoon/sunset. I have had plenty of success early morning & promised a friend to get onto some - problem is he's only available late arvo this weekend. In theory the usual haunts should fish similarly to sunrise in afternoon low light... To go or not to go! Tight lines...

Hey mate I usually focus on 20-30m depths in close off Sydney. Dinner more often than not at my place!

Great report. Smashing them at the moment well done.

Cheers! Yep just a single jig mate no paternoster or ball sinker. I find it just moves more naturally being in control of the single jig.

Great haul well done mate.

Dedicated rod and jig Zoran. I run a 2500 stradic on an emeraldas 83M which provides fantastic sensitivity. Important to hold the bottom and jig aggressively to bring them in. Keep opening that bail as soon as you feel you've come up off the weed & repeat the process. It's a great way to target them & good fun too. Good luck.

Headed out around 11am today in lovely conditions in the hope of some more big calamari. Landed 12 in quick succession with the majority being 35cm+ hoods. Marked some rats while squidding and sent a head down which got smashed while I was onto another squid - doubles! King just short at 63cm. Repeated the process for another 62cm rat. After picking up a big angry cuttle which absolutely peeled drag shortly after I decided to move on to a nearby reef for some fish for the table.The one cuttle candle produced two pannies 36/38cm, 2 solid blue spots (biggest going 59cm), blue mowy, pigfish & wrasse. Found a nice patch of sand for more flatties which I left on the chew & headed for home as the storm clouds rolled in. Happy New Year! Dan

A few for the table and a few snap frozen for my next Jew/king outing. Thanks mate!

Navionics is your friend. Work the shoals, jig aggressively and persist until you find them. Once you do repeat the drift and you should do well. Good luck.

Cheers mate. Peeled some line that's for sure!

Quick bash along south head/Dover heights this afternoon produced some goodies. All caught between 21-28m. PB hood just shy of 40cm. Yamashita egi-oh TR 33g pink/natural doing their thing.

You can buy a sinker attachment for the jigs which i feel works really well too if you can't find them. They look the same as a 3.5, I got mine from Japan.

Not yet mate I've scoped out some interesting ground to try so I'll report back after my next trip. Wow that's incredible!

30g weighted jigs mate. Ball sinker also works well on your standard 3's and 3.5s but not as effective.

I give them the Bruce Lee treatment 😂 Quick hand chop to the neck/backbone area does the trick.

No just a 30g weighted jig no other sinkers attached. Makes for a more natural action on the drop and pays dividends when fishing deep.

Picked up a couple nice kings out at the peak on jigs before coming in for squid on the way home. The calis are too good to waste as bait 😋

Thanks @The RevThese were caught in 20-25m. I get most of my calamari in 16m+

Chasing that illusive 40cm hood. Plenty of 35cm models sitting in deeper water off south head/gap. Yamashita egi-ohTR' s doing the damage time and time again.

It's tough knowing a flathead is having a better saturday night than me 😂 Cheers mate!
