Hit the water as the storm came in, saw a couple kings in about no more than a foot or 2 of water, saw me than spooked out. didn't have any bait besides pillies so i put a couple out on floats and tried my luck....
10 mins into it i decide to light up a cigg.... have a look .. oh ###### where is my float?
jerked it back pretty hard and managed to hook it, wasn't sure what it was at 1st was acting weird, thought it was some weed pulling along the surface.. was a nice squid
second float went off, tried the same method with no luck so i brought my bait back slowly and another squid was hanging onto the pillie, put the rod down and tried to get it into the net, no luck..
ran to the tackle box and put on the yozuri shrimp hunter for the 1st time, got it in the water and the squid ran off, scared the ###### out of it.
threw the float back out and started flicking the jig.. the dead bait was going off constantly, jig got nothing.
im convinced the jig i have just isn't any good or the way i fish it (takes forever to sink)... i don't do much squidding these days, been a good 4 yrs but i remember i caught plenty of them on a razor back with no problems.. do they still sell razor backs? ide kill for a few of the smaller ones (blue and pink if i remember correctly) think i might invest in some baited squid jigs.
in summary, caught 1 large squid, a few large ones around, all hood around the size of a forearm.
