Well decided to switch it up one morning so instead of hitting Pt Noarlunga I hit Brighton. Was on the 13/03/09.
Went down with 2 rods, just cheapie jigs, one orange 3.0 and one green 3.5
Used the larger ones because my 2.5's wouldn't sink in the water current and I didn't take any sinkers with me.
Anyway stayed there from about 6am - 8am and only landed 2 squid. The guy next to me also landed 1 small squid and a cuttlefish and managed a haul of 4 decent size blueys before I left.
My second squid was a good one though, not huge but definately what I'd call a squid bigger than most I catch, he managed to feed my girlfriend and I all by himself so that was good <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Here's a pic of the squid against a measure. The largest one's mantle is about 24cm long.

Was going to head out there again this morning but the wind is just insane at the moment and the swell is way too much. Bugger <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />, went down there tonight with my newly bought crab net though only to find out that the rope on it isn't enough to reach the bottom..... so i gotta get some more rope.
