Hi fellow Raiders,
After reading some recent reports i am keen to get out and catch some nice size squid and jig for some Kingfish. My boat can handle outside conditions.
I have tried the yamashita squid jigs in the weed beds near the big white house on the left hand side (bass and flinders point)when heading to bate bay but never seem to have much luck. Any tips for catching some nice squid for a salt and pepper feast would be appreciated. Do the squid jigs holding a whole pilchard work better?
As for jigging for kingfish, are there any spots worth trying? Not too keen fishing too close to the bombie for obvious reasons. Do the kingfish only hang around reef like structure or can they be caught off the flathead grounds outside?
Have tried trolling with various Rapala and Halco lures catching salmon, bonito's and stripeys but no kingfish to date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Jas
