Gday Dick,
Is there a reason why you want to target squid with a spotlight? Have you seen other people chasing squid this way? In the past I have tried using a torch to pinpoint squid from piers, then casting jigs to them, with very little success. I have heard of people using a light to spot squid from their boat, which they then attempt to catch with a scoop net.
Why not try drifting with a jig out, without the spotlight first. I have caught plenty at night this way.
