Quote:I was really lucky last week. I went at the 8pm high tide and into the night. I Saw a few pods of squid at the surface one pod had about 8 squid another about 5 or 6. Ended up with 10 squids in total at about a 5-6 inches long with a few babies in the mix. A few other people caught one or two maybe three. I was the lucky one that night but it was short lived. Im going tonight, leaving at Midnight and catching the 2am high tide under the lights. I'll let you all know what I get.  

Quote:The 4lb flourocarbon is the trick, but best when fishing from docks and boats in shallow water. 6 lb is OK, but I have worked my way down from 10lb and the lighter I go the more squid I catch. Not so good for high bridges or offshore deep water. I try to stay away from the spiles and the bottom, do lose some on occasion, but not that often. Also need a light sensitive rod for the light line, it doesn't work that well on say a seven foot medium action rod. The main thing about the light line is that it gives the smaller "prawn" style jigs a better action. If you are using heavier gear and are getting out fished by others and you notice they are using small rods with very light line make the switch, it should increase your catch.
