Busso jetty

Gotta say the new busso jetty is looking great..!

went there on the 1st april with a 3 mates

squid are everywhere but gotta work for the bigger ones managed something around 90-100 squid in 4 hours various sizes ranging from 25-60cm tubes ofcourse throwing the little ones occasionally with a set of 7/0 on em

while jigging under a light at about 12pm with a good number of squid under the light was getting em left right and centre.. as i dropped again after the 5th squid i hooked another squid and a mulloway over a metre in length enhailed it close to the bottom and shot off out in a flash busted me off in seconds..

was an amazing sight just to see it cruising along and power off..

15 per person. But i'm sure, as he stated. He was letting the smaller ones go and also using some for bait.

In a group of 4 your legally allowed to take 60 squid. Sounds and is alot but that's the bag limit.

Honestly not at all surprised, have heard those sorts of numbers bandied around from the last couple of weeks out there.

Would like to have seen that 60cm hood squid though, biggest i've seen went 55cm.

Good luck those of you heading down for easter, 1 human per m2 will be my prediction

Ahh sounds like a fun night mate. Heading down the busso jetty for a squid at easter, hopefully there is still plenty of squid around.

Shame you couldn't stay

Shame you couldn't stay connected to the Mulloway!

I was down that way a couple of weeks back and we were planning to go out for a few hours to catch a feed around sunset.

Ended up only fishing for less than 20 minutes in the end though as there was so many of the bloody things around and we could only eat 8-10 between us!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Nice mate. That many squid around they were probaly fighting over the jig, lol.

What a great species, fun to catch, great to eat and the best fresh bait you can have.

Unlucky with the mulla , maby next time.

Been quite a few mulloway

Been quite a few mulloway catches in the area over the last two weeks.

The squid are everywhere in the bay. Can stop just about anywhere and get 20 in less than an hour.
