I went with my brother to mornington pier again and there was fresh ink everywhere on the pier, looked like mascare from a video game only ink <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />
Hardly any wind, clear water (really clear), overcast with patches of sun.
We went set up just on the right side of the plattform for wild thing it was only 3 meters wide but enough room not to get tangled. My brother was trying out his new silver jig, an egi i think, can't remember the make.
Anyways, he cast it, let it sink, and reeled it in a little cause he had too much line out to jig and there was a weight on it. He's first though was nah, can't be, please don't snag. Pulled it up and nice steam of ink followed. first cast!! it was awesome, he hadn't even jigged it yet.
my first cast i jigged a few times and when i was nearly at the pier it snagged and i thought, oh crap then it pulled and i thought oh crap! reeled it in gently even though it was pulling away pretty hard, felt like a big squid. I was going really slow but it still ripped it's tentacles off and freed itself. next cast i reallized my drag was pretty tight cause of the car trip <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' />
next few cast was a little quite as i kicked myself. all that ink in the water warning all his squiddy friends.
Then followed a double hook up! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' />
Quiet again we left to eat breakfast at hungry jacks that's the great thing about mornington when the squid's about you have as much chance of catching or not catching them all day <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Got back and got 3 more good ones. Everyone pretty much had an inky bag all along the pier. Left just before lunch. Long winded report, sorry... but hey for those interested apparently there was a high pressure trought over melbourne i'm going to try again next H to see if its consistant.
