Cockburn Squid

Hey Lads

Just a quick report. Sorry for the lack of Photos it was fairly full on and we forgot about them.
Hit Cockburn sound Saturday to try our luck at some Squid. Neither of us had fished there before so we just went on a few tips from a mate. We launched at about 9am from Woodies and shot around the corner to the Woodies shacks to keep out of the wind. I started catching straight away on a white Hiramitsu 2.5 while my mates orange jig couldn't even get a look in. We got about 8 small ones there and then decided to head out in to the bay when the wind dropped.
Next spot was the weed beds in 5m just south of the D9. I swapped to a white/uv size 3.0 Hirimitsu and my mate put a white Shimano Egexile 3.0 on. we managed to bag our 30 in under 2 hours and threw a heap of small ones back to keep the bigger ones.

Interestingly the floater jig we kept behind the boat didn't get a squid all day. We had to cast in front of the drift and actively work the jigs to get a strike.

On a side note the view at the Ship & Dock Inn around the corner was quite pleasant but cleaning 30 Squid after spending a couple of hours at the pub isn't easy.

Good time for you dinghy boys to be getting the kids out there for some fun.

Cheers Jayce

 thanks for the heads up. We had a small crack last Sunday in Warnbro Sound and got bugger all. I might have to put some more effort in... cheers

No worries mate. We had never fished there before and found it pretty easy. Lots of choices from Woodies.

Make sure you can see weed patchs in 5m or less and you should do pretty good.

If you look on your charts for the area called pinacle rock try there.

And note " cast up wind and work the jigs"!
Always gets better results for myself.
