Bait Gathering
Submitted by sandbar on Fri, 2016-02-05 21:30
Went out this morning for a squid session. Getting ready for sunday morning. Tried the coathanger for a couple then headed north along GI. Found likely ground
and started catching squid. It wasnt till the wind changed about 12pm that they were on the bite. Before that had a heap of looks and they wouldnt touch any of the jigs I had out. They were more interested in starting a conversation with the jigs! Then got this absolute thumper of a squid, i thought here we go, this ones pulling line hard! Get it close to the boat and i got my PB on a squid jig. Except it wasnt a squid, its an occy. Rapt with that, headed off with a good bag of fresh bait. I might try pickleing half the occy. And feed the other half to a big fat DHUIE!

Nice
Pickle half the occy, sat and pepper half the squid and turn what is left into several Dhuies.
Good job done.
Sometimes when the water is quiet, you can hear the fish laughing at you !

Did the same
Took the young bloke out for a quick run and got 9 herring and 7 gardies. Happy with that. I just enjoy being out and spendig time with the young bloke and gathering some bait at the same time. Happy days.
