The Brighton squid arrived inshore last week!! Caught my first one, and dropped a few on the surface as well. Quite a day, as I managed to catch two lobsters in the morning as well, so it was Lobster for breakfast and squid for tea.
One interesting point. We new the squid were there, because they were jumping on our float fished prawn as soon as we cast them. But when we went over to jigs, they didnt want to know. But when we had the bright idea of lashing a strip of mackerel to the back of the jig with whipping cotton, we got a result. The water was still slightly coloured, so maybe this had something to do with it!
Anyhow, its looking good for the "First All England Squid Championships" on next Saturday, the 10th May. If anyone is interested (did you win the lottery yet Glen?) feel free to e-mail me - Robin@fishyrob.co.uk - for more details.
My first squid of the year.....
