Welster Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I can't beat that one. What depth are you squidding in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
61 crusher Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I’ve managed 3 flatties, the last one the biggest at 58cm last summer at half tide rocks with a size 2.5 just poking out of his mouth, off the rocks over the last couple years I’ve had a few taps & occasional run from fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Is that a glow stick? What do you use that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restyle Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Whats even worse is they fight like squid... i was squidding in the hacking on my kayak and thought i had a squid of a lifetime on. came up as a 40+cm pufferfish. Tailor, kingfish and flatties love squid jigs, with tailor though they cut you off 9/10 times. my weirdest "catch" would be a foul hooked yakka.

Pickles Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Glow sticks attract squid - works a treat especially in dirty water. Sydney harbour water has been green and high sediment past few days and only $1.50 for 20 online. Edited November 17, 2019 by Pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keflapod Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ive caught some Sargent Bakers on jigs off the ocean rocks. Also cuttlefish and octopus. Oh and occasionally a squid😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakelad Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Mmm squid... I haven't gone squidding since before the colder months, do you guys target them all year around and in the same locations all year around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 Lakehead, squid are in the harbour all year round, they do move around from seedbeds to kelpbeds and over sand. At the moment they seem to be in deeper water - 6m + 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SquidMarks Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I have managed to catch a legal snapper on a squid jig, almost caught a fairy penguin too! (little bugger came up with the jig in his mouth but managed to spit it before he hooked himself).

I’m hopeless at squid fishing and normally give up after 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
