[quote name='mikii_v' post='13256' date='Dec 10 2008, 08:33 PM']welcome to the forums nala and thanks for the report.

i have yet to catch a squid this season...very upset. i think il head down to portsea this weekend. iv never been there but heard theres lots of squid and your story just makes me wana drive there. any advice where on the pier i should start off ??? i guess mornings are the best times, i think the reason why i havnt caught one yet because i only go during the day as i love sleeping in. haha

oh and hows the fishing there? did u see anyone catch any fish ??



thanks[/quote]



Mikii, I am no expert when it comes to squid in VIC, the report I posted was the best day I have had in ages. The only advice I can offer is... tough it out... We were the only ones on the pier after 9am, we got enough small hook ups to keep us interested and as I mentioned, at the change of tide (10am) it all caught fire. I can say that, in the time that we were there with the 'old school' long pole guys, we landed 3 to one in our favour. We were doing the ol 'pause an retieve' method using good quality jigs, Yozuri in blue and dark colors, the guy that landed the most had a yamishita (spelling?) gold and brown, and casted inside the 'L' shape of the pier.



good luck
