Night Squiding - Parmelia Bank
Submitted by BradR on Mon, 2013-04-08 20:20
Thinking of heading out late fri arvo/night to target squid. Anyone know if there are many around at the moment? First time night squiding from boat - what is the best setup and jigs i should be using for night squiding? does the allround boat light generate enough light? or should i be dropping additional lights in the water? Should i anchor up and wait or drift?
Will hit Parmelia Bank and owen anchorage, should i try any other location? Harding Rock etc...

Im no expert but I drift and
Im no expert but I drift and leave the overhead deck light on as I have been told this attracts the baitfish which then attracts the squiddies preferance of jig colours for me are pink and white jigs.Good luck

I haven't jigged for them off
I haven't jigged for them off the boat at night either .. but we picked up a few off the bank daytime last week with white and yellow jigs .. always on a slow drift not too fast . Maybe try slapping a small glow stick above the jig as well , I reckon you'll do alright let us know .. good luck

Tried a few different spots fri night, but no luck on the squid. Gave up after an hour or so and fished - there where Plenty of herring around.
