Hillary's squidlies

Shot out for a quick one after work yesterday to the weed banks off Hillary's. Two of us got 12 squid in the bucket and 4 let go in about an hour of not really trying hard. Got pissed on though when that nasty little squall came through!

Interesting I found that when the wind was blowing and the water chopped up, all squid were hooked in their tentacles and when the weather passed and the water settled down, they were all hooked in their arms!

just out of curiosity I have tried out of hilarys a few times for squid usually on the way out or back in from catching nothing and havn't got any squid either.  What general area and depth do you go in??

You will get them all through

You will get them all through there but stick to the shallower stuff. Between the rock and the point will produce. Adjust your jig to suit the depth and drift/current speed.
