The Taiwanese shop guy showed me his own cache of lures. He reckons if you have no love with one try a different one until you get a squid or go home if none work. He also said tieing bait to the lure is a waste of time as squid rely on sight and not smell. His fav was a 3'5 white with fluro pink head with very high luminescnence
Anyways, I went down at low tide and found 4 lures today so I have a collection of 8 to rotate now.
I've tried 2.5-4's and different colours, retrieve with a jigging motion or 2 under a float.
I used to fish alot and spearfish as well but had been busy elsewhere for 15 years until recently. Even though I havnt caught a squid yet I am in a better mood and humour just from being on the rocks with a rod in hand.
I think I'm hooked again.
Nature is a winner.
