theres good numbers of coota at mornington at the right time of year.



Just chuck anything small and silver around daybreak and sunset, and you'll bag out. most guys use them for bait.

the motion should be let it sinks for few sec, pull back the rod and retrieve the line a bit...wait few sec and reply the steps

in fact, it wasn't easy to get a small squid jig... I found it on ebay... they are 1.2 in size...:> good in mornington...

I got it from Altona North... I saw another seller is around danenong...but a bit expensive than where i got <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' />

I've never fished for squid in the night - i've always gotten to mornington just on sun up and fished till usually 10 in the morning. There's days i've gone and there's nothing and days where i've caught 4. Sometimes i go with my brother and we catch 8 between us usually around 7am to 10am. I've never caught squid on the left side of the pier although when nothing's going on on the right that's when i see someone catch a decent sized squid on the left.



I bought wooly socks today <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' /> ... might get up tomorrow morning to squid, depending what the weather feels like in the morning.

We have still been receiving solid reports of calamari being taken from the Mornington area this week. It seems the most consistent time to catch them has been on the high tide at first light around red rocks.

As the sun rises, then move into the Fishermans Beach area into 5 meters of water.

The most consistent jigs have been the new Clicks in both 2.0 and 2.5 sizes in the brown/ Gold and Camo colours. Harimitsu jigs have also been working very well.

Gday all,



Not too many reports being posted that I can see so I thought I better get out there have a flick, and post a report. Went to Mornington Pier with a buddy on Sat 21st. Lots of small squid being caught. We bagged 10 in total but released a couple as they were pretty small.



Most of our catch was about 20-30cm. They came on at the start of the incoming tide.



Were were using blue/white and a silver (natural colored) yamasitas. But I saw small pink and black jigs getting hit as well.



Started and Portsea, got zip, but saw a boat drifting in between the end of the pier and the shore nailing some good sized specimens, bout 8 in 30 minutes. Gotta get me a boat or Kayak.



Off to Flinders next to chase the monsters.



Cheers,



nala

Hi all,

That is so wierd. I was at Portsea too that day and also caught nada Nala. But when I also went to Mornington I almost caught a massive bird after it dived bombed my squid jig. I found doing a run up cast with my double baited squidjig setup was also quite unsuccessful.

So once back to basics we also bagged ten squiddies. I hope that the freezer hasn't ruined their meat!



Coff.

Went down to Mornington over the weekend, caught 17 squid with a mate between 10 - 26cm hood.



Fished at night, using a pink yozuri 2.0, my mates $4 kmart special did just as well.

Mornington has seen large numbers of squid still being caught from both the land based and boat angler. Best jigs have been 2.5 Harimitsu in darker natural colours and flashmax jigs in colour 8870.

fished mornington 8pm-6am yesterday, was a very quiet night, i expected it since the low tide was at around 10pm i think...

didn't get onto a squid until 12:30 am, then when the high tide came in around 4am, got 6 within the hour. decent amount of people on the pier but didn't see much action.



there was heaps of fish that jumps up and makes big splashes, from what i see they look like garfish but then i saw a few fat ones too. plenty of bait fish around. does anyone know what are the fish that makes those splashing noises on the surface ???

i want something else to do while the squid is not on lol...
