GI squidly didly

I had to be home from cervantes by sunday for dinner at the inlaws, so with the boat still hooked up, i gave juica the call to be at my place monday morning for a cockburn squid.

hit the water by 7.30 and straight to parmelia bank / woodies point, where we got 3 tiddlers in an hour and a half. made the call to go look for new ground, and headed to southern end of garden island, where the northerly drift was blowing us perfectly along the bank, towards the barracks on gi.

thats where the fun began!! about 3 metres of water, and the big winter squid were on!!! scored 14 absolute horses, with tubes to 36cms in about an hour! they were actually peeling line off our 1000 reels like they were spanish mackeral. orange jigs did the damage, but suprisingly, a dark green yozuri also did pretty well, but only when the sun peeked out from behind the clouds.  

back at the ramp by 10.45, boat cleaned by 11.30, beer and fresh squid on the barby by preceisly 12pm. what a way to end the long weekend!!
