Squid

Hit Cockburn sound yesterday after som squid.

Did a Gentlemens start at about 10.30am. First spot we tried (Thanks Dave) we got squid almost instant. With about 5 boats in the same location we were the only ones catching squid from what we could see. Soon after the 3rd squid came in 2 boats came up within 15 metres and started drifting next to uss!!! :evil:

So we moved over woodman point way and found some small weed banks in about 3 metres of water. Got a few small squid from here but wasnt producing too well, so moved further over into about 2.5 metres of water and soon found a good spot, getting some squid and big ones too. Up over 35cm tubes!!!

Spent about 3.5 hours on the water for our bag limit of 30. About 8-10 were good bait sized and went straight into the freezer for the next pinky trip. Split the rest up and its salt and pepper squid for dinner tonight!!!

Cheers

Bodie

Bodie it seem that they are up and about everywhere. Felt lazy over the weekend and didnt take the boat out to the dampier islands (to windy) and thought would go chuck some plastics at Withnell Bay. Got lots of follows but no fish. However the amount of squid that attacked the hollowbelly and snapbacks I was using was unbelievable. Damn left the jigs behind!!!!

That sounds like a great session. Not much better than fresh squid.
