Recommended squid fishing spot
Name: San Remo Jetty
Region/State: Victoria/ Westernport
Country: Australia
Nearest Major Town: Phillip Island
Short Description: Well the jetty is very productive at night every time i've gone i fish under the first or second light pole. Calamari are around also garfish, whiting and trevally. there are also a few big rays which call the jetty home. they'll take to your jig and i dont think it'll be the same again. best fishing at night on 3.5 jigs orange or green the most succesful. biggest Calamari i've caught would have been around 2kg. bottom is sandy with little rocks. a lot of weed on the incoming tide.
Quote:CLEELAND BIGHT / SAN REMO PIER:
Colin also reports that few anglers have been getting stuck into the calamari
off Cleeland bight and the San Remo jetty. The EBB tide has been most productive
with silver whiting under a float the best option.

Some big squid have again turned up at Cleeland Bight during the week. Both boat and landbased anglers are getting into them. Colin Guilmartin thinks they have come in on the moon.

i would taking those reports from Cranbourne with a grain of salt!
i think that this time of year all the stores are trying to ramp up sales
well i must agree with you. i have NEVER seen anyone catch a squid off san remo pier ...though i know pat has had some luck at this spot (i.e. RX3-BOi). i have tried myself on a few occasions. i would have thought the current was too strong for them to hang around here. perhaps its only good at change of tide?
if any "real" people have caught squid at san remo or in cleeland bight recently please let us know.

I am in the same boat as you Glen, I've tried and failed off San Remo. We did catch some pretty big draughtboart sharks there though. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
have caught/witnessed 5 calamari captures from boat in Cleeland Bight. if the area fires you can catch em near the submerged pier before you head out the entrance, problem is that they are not always there.

hi ak,
is the submerged pier on the north or south side? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Staff members Adam Ring and Jarrod Day fished Phillip Island land based on Wednesday. The boys finally ended up in Cleeland Bight where they landed a couple of nice Calamari on silver whiting baited jigs near the top of the tide.

Hey glen,
I realise this was an old post, but im new to this site and just saw it.
Not sure what you mean by real people, if you mean with photos unfortunately i dont have any, but there are definitely squid to be caught off san remo pier. Either first or second lights, middle of the night seems to be the best. My dad and I have caught some absolute monsters, unfortunately we always seem to "forget" the net and have lost some big ones.
But just to confirm there are definitely squid there.
Also, although they are caught during slack tide, we have caught them here when the current is reall strong. Only way to fish is on a patternoster style rig to get it down, then just jig it next to the pier and hope for the best.
Cheers, George
hi george,
by "real" people i meant someone other than from a tackle shop. from my experience, tackle shop fishing reports are sometimes a bit hard to believe...
thanks for the info about squidding at san remo. I will give it a crack next time I am down there.

Oh, haha, your not wrong mate!
Seems the fish/squid are always where you dont look, and seem to always take the expensive lures only <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Thanks for the reply, good to see such quick responses.
Happy squidding mate
i have got squid from san remo many times, i have a holiday house on the island, there is also a spot to fish from shore under a float. i used baited jig and also did some egging at san remo, great place at right time.
there was lots on ink staines there last week
when I was down at phillip Island last year I noticed it had some very squiddy looking places...bummer I didn't take any gear...maybe that was good for you blokes hahahahahaha
I cant walk past a puddle without having a look to see whats swimming around in it.

i do the same thing! hahaha

I think it's the old "hunter gatherer" instincts kicking in....just cant help myself.

Hi everyone,
I stopped at San Remo pier on Wednesday (Australia Day) and there was a couple of guys jigging at the start of the pier (on the ocean side). They had a nice big squid chase their jig but it was not very keen. Would have been a nice catch though. There was plenty of ink stains on the pier.
Cheers, Glen
