Bateman's Bay Squid, NSW

[Jazman]

I have been fishing the fresh almost exclusively for the past couple of months, so a trip to the coast was on the cards for Saturday. After spending most of the day flogging a shut-down estuary for not much return, I hit up Squiddly spot X for a quick session before heading home. I found a good patch and bagged 16 in an hour, some were really good sized. Lots of times the hooked squid were followed in by one or more others, a few times I was able to catch the followers by unhooking the landed squid and then quickly dumping the jig back in the water (without even casting). The kayak now needs a good scrubbing! My favorite chewed up brown shrimp hunter, a newer pink shrimp hunter premium, and a tiny pink emeraldas jig did the damage.
