Couldn’t stop them x3 it happened . spoiled me got to last bit ( full lock) up there with my pb I think . 125 mm width on tube . 15 Squid 12.5 kilo . 10 over the kilo mark . I bent 60 percent off prongs on one jig . ( not weed) 1 cent peice suckers on jigs . Spew . I’ve kept big one in fridge for my andy . ( doesn’t believe me ). Only reason I went in area there was 6 boats where I normally go .

Up there for me
Ones that blew me away . I will come back for them. When you get big squid getting attacked by monster squid , pretty good . The old coke bottle trick on way with whole herring on squid prongs . Hand line jobs .

Illegal practice coke bottle use
Illegal practise to catch squid that way I suppose only if you get caught doing it that way

Funny
You put on your rod ( with rubber band) at set depth . float it away from other jigs your working .set drag on rod put in rod holder . and squid as normal , Obliviously have no idea at all . Seen many do it ,( old timers more so) how is it illegal to attach a float to rod ?

Squid jig on a few metres of
Squid jig on a few metres of line tied to an empty bottle, chucked in the water. A number are distributed and monitored, the bottle bobs when a squid is on.
Regarded as an unattended line, thus illegal fishing.

It’s no different
Having a float on rod while drifting . Doesn’t make sense. So if I clip a float on squid rod with jig below And put in rod holder ,it’s not allowed ? News to me . You don’t throw it over ( it’s on your rod while drifting ) . Mmmm

No I think your good
Its when the float is doing its thing without a line back to the boat.
