Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC

[SWANK-E]

Hi All,



I am new to squid fishing and have got myself a couple of Yamashita 2.0 squid jigs to go with my bream fishing outfit.



I was told to go to Brighton Pier from sunset till around 8.30 and work the pier all the way up to the rock wall. I was also told that if I don't get anything by 8.30, go home. As far as technique, it's dead easy compared with the bream fishing using HB or SPs i am used to.



I went there twice and both times I got zilch, not even a touch or a follow (as far as I could see anyway). Are there squid in Brighton this time of the year? (I was told there are.) What could I be doing wrong if that's the case. I have tried all sorts of retrieves, both vigorous and slow.



Please advice.
