welcome mate...
i can definitely vouch for mornington pier as one of the top performing piers for squid !!!
iv expierenced it all and so has many on this forum. Rob is right about your jigs for mornington, you would be using 1.8 and 2.0 jigs.
i'd forget about the baited jigs for mornington...squid are small at mornington. baited jigs would be good at other places such as portsea, queenscliff, flinders....anything further than mornington i guess.
squid at mornington come in HUGE numbers...once their going off, their off. you would get a bucket load if your fishing with afew mates. iv been there plenty of times and bagged out 80% of the times. you should fish from the start of the pier and all the way out - probably up that little hill going upwards. i personally think the boat dock side out performs the other side however both sides do catch. as for squid jigs, any of the jap brands and i personally love pink !!! my opinion, go buy a yo-zuri 1.8 size in pink. thats the one i do best on !!!
iv seen mornington pier go on fire plenty of times. yes you are right, it does get very packed during the day, not too bad at night though... but boi it goes on fire !!! once theres squid, EVERYBODY gets a bucket load ! mornington would be my number 1 place for catching the most squid. other places are slow and doesnt go on fire however the outcome is - mosterous squids !!!
go luck - and keep us updated on how u go, anymore queries just ask !!!
i would like afew feedback on how mornington is going, i havnt been wetting a line since summer was over.
