Squidding last night/this morning

 Hey all.

Last night after finishing work i asked my mate if he was keen for late night squid in freo and he said yes. So i rigged up and got inthe car at 10 got to woodies at ten to 11 but it was way to windy there so a quick move to the boat harbour and started casting there. After a good 15mins of nothing i was getting bored as was my mate but i then hooked up to a solid 20cm squid that had a follower but it got spooked and swam off. i was just messing around with the other squid and i felt weight so i started winding in and nailed another 20cm squid followed by another 24cmish one.

It was then my mates turn to catch some and he nailed a 20cm one, follwed by 4 runts. I then caught a small one and he hooked some thing that looked to be a good squid but i then sore it was a fat brown blob and thought it was going to be a decent cuttlefish and as soon as the word left my mouth a fat angry cuttlefish was bought up on to the rocks. Few quick photos and was released. My mate then cast out again and hooked up solid only to drop it, this happened twice then he hooked a runt one in close. Hen then cast out and hooked up again this time setting the hooks and landing a Very decent squid of 28cm hood. In then finished it off with 3 more runts and a alright one. he finished off with 6 and i finshed off with 7 my unlucky/lucky number when squidding landbased metro. Finished fishing around 1:45 got home at 3 cleaned the squid defrosted in the shower and went to bed a happy man.

First of the night. 20cm.

Another 20cm squid i like the mraking in this one.

Angry cuttlefish.

My mate happy as with a runt.

My mate big squid, 28cm hood. RIP Yamashita Glow orange Man i loved that jig got me my personal best.

My mate super Happy with the big one.

Not a bad landbased haul if only it wasn't as cold.

The two biggest.

Thanks for reading 

Cheers danno

 Good effort, tried freo this morning with no luck (first time squidding so didn't expect much),

But got a gardie and bitten off by a couple of tailor so not complaining too much.

nice catch from the rocks, I had to travel back to South Oz for my fishing fix and I can tell you it was colder there than what I remember. Maybe the Exmouth days have softened me up
