Nice session on the squid

Hi all

Took the young fella out into the sound with a good mate of mine on Saturday. Headed out from South Perth at 10.30. Enjoyed the trip to Freo and then headed to the rock wall just off Fremantle yacht club. The NE wind was perfect and pushed us across the weed banks. Plenty squid around. The boys pulled in 21 in a short time. The wind dropped to nothing so it was time for a swim. Water was brilliant, clear and still a great temp.

We did not look at tide, moon or time of day. Just got there at the right time. As the wind died off and the temp got up, the squid went off the boil a bit. We stopped when we had a good feed for the three families.

Headed back into the swan for another swim and some pics.

Boys and dads had a great time on the water. Very enjoyable. We even got a few herring on the lumo.

Cheers

Dave

Well done mate, Hard to beat a chilled day on the water when a few squid are involved. Heaps around ATM, we bagged out in an hour wednesday for the first time this year so good signs.

A big effort in an hour, must have been fun. I was surprised at the size of most of them. Nice a big.

Will definately be out again soon.

Serious?!

We tried for around 2 hours in the sound on Wednesday for zero.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong!

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

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.

Nice work dave, me and my old

Nice work dave, me and my old boy managed 14 in an hour for liveys on the 21st and a couple days earlier got 26 in a few hours, plenty of happy people gettin some squid. The mack box has a metro tally of 3 in the last 7 days and was perfect for exxy, quite possibly my best investment lately.

Cheers.
