Sydney Harbour, NSW - LOYAL DRAGON - 30-10-2009
[quote name='squidking29' post='16688' date='Oct 30 2009, 06:46 PM']i use 20lbs braid which is thin and tie 15lbs of flurocarbon to the braid.it is slightly thick depending on the brand.i use nitlon dfc.remember it is invisible under water the flurocarbon.and also you are fishing around weed,and if you get snagged you can pull most jigs out.and yo zuri jigs aint cheap.this is my method and i do well.even off the rocks.i use a g-loomis rod in the dsr model.very light rod and stiff tip for jigging the jig and a small shimano 3000 spheros reel which you cant get any more.and the rod is great for casting but not a cheap rod.i even use the rod for luring and got a 5kilo cuttle fish on it.nice rods.worth the price,not cheap[/quote]too true, the jigs aint cheap, I know what you mean now, I will it a go.

the loomis rods i mentioned are around $400 mark just so you wont get a shock if you go see one.ive had mine for 8 years now.i got the dropshot rod 12lbs rod.the cheapest i found is at kyeemagh at bestic street.small shop but good service and probably the cheapest fishing gear in sydney

Sydney Harbour, NSW - fish'n'chippy - 30-10-2009

rock fishing rods for live baiting off the stones - 4
beach/surf fishing rods - 4
barra fishing rods - 5
squid/soft plastics jigging rods - 10
fly rods - 5

i said to my wife when we first met
" i go to work and i go fishing, than that's it. i don't do anything else. "
she agreed.
she is great, i can fish 8 days a week if i can only figure out what that eighth day is,
um......fisherday or hunterday or maybe piscatorialday ...... bugger it,
lets just call it FUNDAY and it should last 48 HOURS (8 tide changes)
ha ha ha ha
happy fishing
Sydney Harbour, NSW - Costa - 02-03-2012
Went to Rushcutters Bay just before this big wet started, got one squid with a 3.5 orange jig (Yo Zuri), suprised to catch it at low tide.
The water clarity was fair. Have not been back due to the heavy rain. Any one else tried the harbour lately?
Sydney Harbour, NSW - Mickyd - 02-03-2012
Not for the last week but got a beauty 33cm hood near Clovelly and 6 smaller ones on Tuesday.
Sydney Harbour, NSW - Costa - 04-03-2012
Top effort Mickyd, it is great to see multiple catches. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />

Hi all, it has been a long time since I have seen any Ink!, looking at having a session this weekend, any feedback for the Sydney Harbour region would be greatly appreciated :woot:
Sydney Harbour, NSW - Costa - 28-07-2013
Tried a few spots last night, The Spit, Clifton Gardens and Balmoral baths, my squidding must be rusty, I had no success however other people caughtÂ
squid on green luminous jigs - about 30cm in size. Good too see they are about :thumbsup2:
