Southern Ppb, Vic - Torre - 15-03-2006
hello as i'm new to squidfish i'll take some time to introduce myself i'm 17 and most of my fishing is done down south landbased from portsea pier to rye pier.
I will be going for a fishing trip to this area this weekend landbased and was just wondering where the action is at the moment coz i havent fished down that way since christmas.
last time i was there rye was going nuts on squid sorrento for leatherjacket and whiting and portsea for gars...is this still the case? i mainly would like to fish for squid but hoping for some salmon gars and whiting as well. looking forward to your replys thanks, Torre

well i tryed down that way anyways this weekend for nothing but tiny squid that were all returned exept for a few used as live bait. fishing was terrible this time round compared to other fishing trips ive had down there. all the big squid have died and left babys not even worth targeting. so we tried bait fishing but the soldier crabs r back (i know because we caught dozens) and stealing bait as well as tiny leatherjackets.

why do you think all the big squid died? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crying.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />

the bloke at the tackle shop was telling me that now is the end of last seasons life span aparently they only live 8months or so spawn then die? im not to sure im only going on what he told me because ive heard reports of squid to 4kilo still being caught. maybe somebody that knows more about squid could shed some light on this?

Hi Glen
have a look www.fishnet.com.au for a post on some massive calamari taken at the southern end of PPB.
The tag is called Ink Big.
Cheers

They are as good as it gets!!!
Some interesting discussion about the ethics of taking big breeders and 10 x 2kg hauls each.
I dont have a problem with what they did- it was within the bag limit after all.
Cheers
Blue.

70kg of squid?
they may not have broken any laws
but just because you could, doesn't mean that you should
good luck to them and well done on the catch,
but maybe they should release the breeding stock
it's only common sence

half thier luck , you'd be as happy as a pig in shyt with a session like that....and no bag limits broken.
no different if you went out fishing and caught 5 knobby's between 7 - 10kg...woo hoo
