Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC

[dobrien]

[quote name='Kevin Hui' post='12106' date='Jun 9 2008, 11:36 PM']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.[/quote]



Hi Kevin,

Brighton pier usually fires on the squid around this time.

However, this year they've been very scarce.

Best spot is from the end of the baths to second shelter. Focus there.



Also, try moving further south. Beaumaris, Mornington or MtMartha.

Keep trying your retrieve's, and swap jig's/brand's around, till you find one you catch with.
