Solo squid sesh

Solo squid sesh

Had the alarm set for 3.30, ended up ignoring it until 4.15. Got up and Leah didn't want to come so i had to go alone as there was no time to find a deckie. Still after watching a few egi techniques on youtube i was keen to put them to test.

Got there for a 5.30 launch and was fishing by about 6, went through til 9 and got a heap, releasing a few minis and keeping enough for another few feeds and dhu baits. Found the egi techniques dynamite and now can really see how aggressive squid are, tried a few under water shots. Hope to get the snorkel on one time when leahs squidding and see if we can get some shots of the squid taking the jig.

Was back in the harbour by 9.30 but with so many people launching and not thinking i got my boat on the trailer at around 10.30. All in all beat the main rush so cant complain too much.

Pics are a lil average, 1st attempt at it.

another way around that would be to set it on video and then your more likely to get a good pic, just take a snapshot off the video. dont ask me how to do it as Sandy does all that stuff , i wouldnt know where to start :(

I am not sure if you were aware but the yo-zuri company says the best time for squid is between 6-9 am in the mornings, not sure if you planned that or was pot luck but good work,,

It was planned shorty but based on the crowds at freo not the yozuri company haha. Goodz the flash dancer did the damage aswell as my trusty black jig. Weird colour but seems to do really well. Where did you launch, Woodys?
