Head north from the tip of woodman point until you get to the ~15'/5mt mark and find the weed/sand bank.  Once you have found it it runs pretty much north-south and we end out drifting it from 9'/3mt-21'/7mt+.  Favorites are Yo zuri Aurie Q Neo in pink and orange 2.5 and 3.5's.  If the drift speed is up, the larger jig is needed to get closer to bottom.

Also, with the weather and rain, I have had a look at South Mole this week and water clarity hasnt been good there, but may be better at woodies.  If it is ultra clear, cast the jigs well away from the boat, we had several jigs(3, we changed colors, sizes and brands) by the boat and there were 5 squid hanging around, but wouldnt hit them.  As soon as we got the jigs away from the boat it was much better. If the water clarity isnt good, sometimes the squidding isnt so good.  But overcast days when its clear water should see you right.

personally I prefer 3m deep, but try different depths to see what works.

 

The other place you can try is mangles bay / southern flats.
