corro Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Morning session in the bay yesterday. Tried a few spots unsuccessfully while soaking a bait (salted fish) but as the wind was picking up decided to troll a deep diver for tailor instead. Barely went 50m and the first tailor was in the boat. Another 50m or so and I thought I'd hooked up to some weed but to my surprise up came a squid. Is it an arrow? Was longer / thinner than the ones I've caught in the bay before - albeit it's my first on the troll. Certainly wasn't what I was expecting in around 5m of water and trolling near 7 knots. There was no surface activity but the hookups were fairly consistent and we dropped a couple. In some shallower water than we intended on being (just over 2m) I thought I'd hooked up to some weed but up came a decent flathead. Another first for me on the troll. Pretty successful day, all on the troll! Pays to change up tactics if the results aren't coming! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smobaby Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Nice work, squid trolling on a lure very unusual. Might be a new record considering not a squid jig ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowie Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Arrow squid. A few times I have had the bigger calamari squid grab a pillie I was trolling on the surface, but less than 7 knots - then thrown a jig at them to hook up. A nice feed.
