Squid Bite! - masejess33 - 10-04-2010 Hello All, As we all know squid have a beck, like a parrot. Just curious if anyone has been bitten or heared of anyone been bitten? Happy Squiding Squid Bite! - ru 12 mug - 10-04-2010 I've had some close calls but not after I made a little landing net to stop the near misses I reckon they would take a clean chunk out of you if they did bite you. mug Squid Bite! - m4ttyboi - 10-04-2010 Yeah I've had some try to pull my fingers in but no bites as yet. I'm sure it'll happen one day though. Squid Bite! - masejess33 - 11-04-2010 So many people get bitten buy fish when landing them or holding them, i guess alot more people are fishing for squid rather than squid. Squid Bite! - xALmoN - 18-04-2010 I've been bitten by a small octopus, hurts like hell, and you bleed a lot. Do not try. Squid Bite! - masejess33 - 18-04-2010 Nice, what where you doing for it to bite you? i do imagine a squid bite will be close to the octpus... Squid Bite! - xALmoN - 18-04-2010 It can be said that i actually asked for it, i was picking it up and putting it back down, annoying the hell out of it. Squid Bite! - bluewaterhunter - 18-04-2010 Squid are quite agressive and will bit at just about anything....getting bitten by a calamari is another issue altogether. You would have to be a fair idiot to get bitten by a southern calamari!! Cheers Blue. Squid Bite! - masejess33 - 19-04-2010 true about being an idiot but im sure someone out there has been bitten. Mason Squid Bite! - rocksy - 19-04-2010 this Occy stealing the video camera off a diver could have been a very nasty bite or two.

Far too often, you get a slow pull, and when you reel in, the pouting is dead. Why? Cos the squid has cut away a big "V" in its back, bone, flesh everything, perfectly gone. That beak must have at least the power of a man with a pair of scissors. Avoid!! What they do........... One of the very few to be landed......... Squid Bite! - rocksy - 24-04-2010 can you eat those arrow squid? they are instant bait here Squid Bite! - fishyrob - 24-04-2010 [quote name='rocksy' post='18619' date='Apr 23 2010, 10:43 PM']can you eat those arrow squid? they are instant bait here[/quote] Been eating em all week. Uk fishing guides dont get paid or tipped as well as you guys....... <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> What do you use them for over there? (BTW, I researched the squid, and got told the name is "Long Thin Squid". They might be having a giggle with me, but could that be another name for Arrow squid?) Squid Bite! - fishyrob - 24-04-2010 On asking that question, it lead to a brief flurry of surfing (doh!! Got to be up in four hours....) and I obviously misheard as I believe they are Long Finned Squid, and Arrow squid is a local name. Which lead me to this...........

Arrow squid mostly being the californian variety are mass sold as bait around the world, it is AWESOME bait. Mucho grande live bait. Squid Bite! - rocksy - 24-04-2010 I'd run some pouting on a bait jig under a float, you'd clean up if your losing heaps because of the treble hooks...
