First River Squid
Submitted by danno on Mon, 2011-03-21 15:49
Hit the river up for the third time last night. Got there around 8ish few casts and an alright squid followed the jig in but wouldnt hit it. Change of jigs and cast out again let it sink down the squid followed it again but wouldnt hit it again. Few more casts around and a couple of bait fisherman were collecting prawns for bait in the shallows and said that there is a nice squid eating all the prawns, i changed to a 1.8 yo zuir and had a few casts around no luck tho. Went back to the main jetty had another cast and bang got one bring it in iki spike it and have another cast another hit but it fell of straight away not happy. Oh well that was all the action for the night but i was happy to get my first river squid.
Cheers Danno

? High vis line straight to the jig
You may have better luck with a clear or light brown trace material ! They are quite intelligent creatures and have great vision

I run a 10lb or 8lb fluro
I run a 10lb or 8lb fluro leader about 60cm before the jig. it doesnt show in this pic becasue the nose of the jig isnt shown. that line that is in the pic it is my main line. this squid is about 20cm hooded i think.

Congrats!
Good on ya Danno, there are plenty more where that came from. Get your technique down and you'll slay then. When they are like that a 1.8 shallow Yamashita works well. See you down there.
