Woodies squidding
Hey all
Went down to woodies again today to try and get some fresh squid for lunch. Got there about 7 and there was quite a few people around, two people where squidding and they got two before i had a cast. I cast my everegreen jig in the water and had a follow almost straight away, it took me three little flicks into the same area to get this squid, i got it in and it was about 18cm hood so the size had improved from the other night i was there. Any way that was all the action i sore for a while. I walked to the other side and hooked a nice squid. As i was winding it in it's friend followed it in and was keen to eat its bigger mate. I told my dad to cast the little white egixile jig at it and it didnt like the look over it??? that was a first as squid normaly love that jig. Any way the squid was lossing interest so i made the choice to pull the hooked squid out of the water and get my jig back in to try and keep it exited. My jig had ink all over the barbs so i didnt think i would get it but as soon as the jig started sinking i hooked it solidly. That was all the action from woodies so moved to another spot that brenz and i found one day by accident.
I got there and told my dad to cast into a lovely looking spot and he said nar ill walk up the rocks a bit so i cast into the spot instead. First cast got one only small but eating size still, next cast another one. Then i sore a smalller squid cruising around and got that as well. Antoher cast into the good spot and got another smaller one. At that stage my dad wasnt to happy lol. Anyway that was the end of the squidding day with no more seen or hooked. Ended up with 7 and a nice lunch. The winning jig was a 3.0 harimitsu green/red.
One thing though was that there was 4 people plus me squidding all with high quality gear but they were not letting there jigs work the way they are ment to so they werent catching anything. It was good to see more people getting into squidding around perth.
I have some pics but my computer is still brocken so i cant make them smaller, im going to upload some that ive downsized from the other days session.
Thanks for reading.

Woodies fishing
Just wondering where and what time at woodies is the best place to go for squid. I am new to perth from over east. Also just wondering what other fish you would mainly catch around this area and is it best on lures or using bait for fish other than squid.
