probably a silly question.. but..

Hi guys and gals,

 

This is probably a silly question but

do squid live in the river? I know they're saltwater creatures

but with the flow of the ocean thru freo harbour just wondered if they go as far as

leeuwin boat ramp or maybe east st jetty..

 

Thanks

 

Paul

Correct there is squid in those areas. Use smaller size 2.5 jigs though.

breeding

The squid I've caught in the river all seem to be full of roe (eggs)... I suspect they swim upriver to breed maybe?

It's a nice suprise to have a squid follow up your bream lure, so make sure you have a squid jig ready to go on a rod as you might need to cast it a bit.
