[quote name='kingyfisher' post='9903' date='Feb 20 2008, 05:34 PM']If squid become "shy after you have caught a few and there are still a good number around give the area a rest for 10 minutes or so and then try again.If you still get no response try a different size /coloured jig.[/quote]
Yes if they are shy downsize the jig and also colour. try a different retrieval technique. Make sure your imitating a injured prawn/bait fish.
try letting the jig settle at the bottom for 5~10 seconds. Squid will often pounce on the jig on the bottom.
At first I like to work the top of the water at first. then I will try jiggin the bottom. Most of the time Bottom is the best.
I recently just learn the zig zag technique. give your jig 2~3 small jerks to the right (or left) your jig will dash in a zig zag. then let it sink... then lift your rod... let it sink... then zig zag again. it will really attract them.
Good luck.
