well exactly mate, the japanese sure do give the line a workout, but I guess thats why having 7kg line helps out. Even if you are really putting it through its paces and jigging the crap out of the jig, you still have 15lb braided mainline to break. Its not easy! Im gonna go to my local spot tonight for a bit, crappy tides but will see how it goes on dark!
Got a crap load of my dotted gizzard shad yamashitas in today <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

weather looking good for weekend
nah brighton
saturday morning should be good, it might be alright during the week if the water stays clean.
I was thinking of checking out brighton on sat morning but I don't know how I'll go as I have work on Friday night and Saturday morning but if I get up I'll be there
Anyone been fishing?
How did you go?
bupkis this morning, no baitfish, no squid, no gar nothing except Phosphorescence in the water.
First time i've ever seen it in melbourne. used to see up the creek systems in NSW and QLD all the time and it kills the fishing.
I fished beauy till 4, black rock till 5 and another spot until 6. nada.
Mason fished brighton with Re and had a shocker too i think.
Phosphorescence, any of you lot seen it and had good fishing?
man that sucks to hear about your session! Cant believe you didnt get onto ANY!
Thats the first I have heard of it, not many people talk about it/see it down here I guess. Was it really obvious?
Fished brighton pier last night for 3 hours only 1 squid
very quiet night didn't see any one else catch anything
either.
whats going on here! I havent fished for around a week ( yes im going nuts!) but the fishing seems to have gone completely dead?
Need to head out and see whats happening, doesnt sound too good at all.
I guys,
New member here!!!!
Been squid fishing on and off since I was a kid (im 39 now), used to do a lot of overnighs with my dad at flinders, sleeping in the back of the Valiant safari (what is it with wo*%s and valiants ?) <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> .
Now that I'm married with kids i'm starting to get back into land based fishing catchin anything that tastes good....and I love squid.
Now for the report.
I went to Brighton yesterday, got there about 5 am, was the only one there. Ink stains everywhere and fresh ( looked like a squid feast Fri nite). Another fisho arrived soon and in about 1 hr of fishing we both got 1 each (500-600 g) and lost 1 each. And I lost no jigs....
I even saw a 2 squid on the surface fighting or kissing...
I try to do as much fishing as the misses lets me, she works on weekends ( she started after lunch so I escaped ).
Cimo
fished brighton 2am till 4am.
rocks we got 2 tiny squid between 2 of us, no gars, no bait fish, not a thing.
fished the pier nothing but a couple of guys got 2 or 3 small ones
im thinking the still weather did it..
maybe a new moon thing...
well the water was still, very clear and with their great eye sight they mite have been shy ....
who knows, one day bag out next nothing...
plus the salmon busted up every squid spot saturday arvo.
Bagged out today between 4PM-6PM. 4 of them just over 500g, the others 200g-300g. But saw 2 big one around 1kg been caught next to Brighton seabath under the third light.
