Squid sesh with a by-catch!!
Yesterday I thought I'm gonna have a squid fish as I've run out in my freezer and I love my squid. This would be a solo mission to kick back and relax on a day off!
I launched with gentleman hours ie 12 noon and the plan was to squid the arvo until sundown if need be. The water wasn't that clean and I stuck with using the New Harimitsu glow colours which did the damage yesterday!
I ended up bagging out (15) with 10 of the squid being very BIG including a few larger ones than the one in picture. I had a few mates fishing on a boat chasing pink snapper on sundown and they said swing by on the way in Ryan and say G'day!
No worries, as I was approaching them say 100m away at a spot I/we fish when my sounder lite up with a school of pinkys. I grabbed my pinky outfits that stay on board for this time of year and luckily I kept the wings of my squid!
I baited up my 2 rods, anchored and lines went in .... within a few seconds I was on. I bagged out with 2 pinkys (6kg approx) and they only just fitted into my squid landing net as I took out my pinky net before launching!
Squid was the target species and the pinkys a by-catch haha .... wish it was always that easy ..... Cheers
