Thanks for that Glen. I'll start taking my camera down to the spot and send you a whole bunch if you like? Some day time ones so you can see the terrain....let me know if you have a preference...
I've had a look at this site but I was hoping to read more about feeding, migration, spawning, ideal time to fish, and squid habits in general. Also underwater lights versus car headlights on poles and car batteries. Glow stick jigs/ baited jigs/ etc etc etc. Squidd jigging in Auckland is only a very recent thing (few years). I'm concerned about sustainability, maybe unneccessarily. I suppose its been popular in Melborne for a much longer time?
Any ideas where a good tutorial summises these squid habits in a compact sort of way?
I'm quite intrigued by these mysterious creatures with huge eyes.
The largest collosal suid caught last year has been in the media recently and I recently saw the movie 'the squid and the whale' and recently another animated movie about a sperm whale which I have forgotten the name of, so its the year of the squid for me.
Had a brief look tonight at a new spot and one guy had caught 7 squid in a couple of hours.
I tried for 40min with a #4 blue but no luck.
Does anyone know if ink residue on a cloth covered jig, puts squid off? If so i suppose a good scrub in hot soapy water?
