Many squid/crab in the sound at the moment?

Anybody had a crack for squid and or crabs in the sound recently?

I am thinking of giving it a crack tomorrow.

Looks like it is going to be pretty windy, but am in need of a few fresh squid!

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.

Ryan went out a week or so ago and got 20 crabs (mainly blueys i think he said) and a dozen descent squid/cuttlefish from Pamelia Bank in about 4 hours (2 onboard).

Crabs were in the deeper water as he said there was bugger all in the shallows (yes North of Woodmans)

Cheers for the info guys

Sunset mission is off the cards this weekend unfortunately, so going to be out there in broad daylight.

Not overly confident but will give it a whirl!
