First Squid

 After the birth of our son last week i have had no time to head  out and have a fish.  So ploddin round home the Missus kindly gave me my leave pass to head out for the night.  So i headed down to the Tackle shop to get some new line on 1 of my reels grab some bait and headed to hilliarys.   Went to the left of the platform there and noticed some squid so grabbed me other rod chucked on a jig and bang 15sec later i had my first squid.  And didnt get inked on  so was quite stoked.  Photo wont upload but i was pretty happy with it the hood wld have been approx 25cm.  Also caught my first Metro Flathead which went 33cm and a small whiting which went back out on the big line and was smashed within an hr.  So with a big smile i came home and proved the missus wrong that i can get a squid hahaha.
