Garden island squid
Submitted by fishing fanatic on Mon, 2012-06-18 10:36
Went out for some fishing of all sorts yesterday but with the wind being up a bit we decided to try for squid. drifting with jigs had no success and neither did anchoring and throwing them out. so we decided to set out some penicil jigs with trumpter and herring. the squid love them! we only ended up with 7 and dropping two before we headed home. but we had 3 over 30cm (33, 35 and 30) and then 4 over 20cm so didnt really need anymore. but yeah i dont know why but not a single jig was taken what so ever, even when put right next to the squid that had dropped of a pencil jig.

where did you guys go out?
drifted around carnac then thought it might be a bit fast so we put out the drift anchor with same availe. then yeah pencil jiggs got them excited but when anchored so we couldnt cover much ground ( we went to like 4 differnt spots)

just out from the woodman point boat ramp. Woodman point side of the shipping channel
Plenty of weed, just look for weed with sandy holes, nothing deeper than 5 metres.
