Caught these the other day in sydney
on the outer kelp beds in 35m before sun up
and they went off the bite around 10am or they
may have just moved, still trying to figure
out where they go with the movement
of the tide or do they just move into
deeper water who knows. Got some good fresh jew baits
for tonight and a good feed for lunch tomorrow.
cheers
35m is pretty deep...is that true?

I would have not wrote it otherwise.
In sydney we have kelp beds as deep as 60m
in some areas. A place i fish for kings during the day
over a mass of kelp bed becomes a squiding heven
over night till early hours of the morning. We just sit over
the reef put the spotties on and drop double jigs on weight down
to them and certain times of year it will take 1hr to bag out 20or more
dont know the bag where your from in melbourn.
That must sound very deep for you melbourn guys
but squid are a deep water species in most areas of the world
they spawn in deep water and now is spawning time here in syd.
do you mean outside the heads in sydney harbour, botany or hawkesbury? can't think of an inshore reef at that that depth inside the bays. general locale / terrain please. wouldn't want to direct hoards to your favourite spot.
