[quote name='Rob' post='16062' date='Jul 31 2009, 10:34 PM']personally i like the water a bit murky where i squid, (sorrento) whenever its clear i never do any good,
how far up and which side of the pier was the bloke catching whiting, im keen to get on them, its tthe only fish i target
when i get the boat out[/quote]
Rob,
I am fairly new to squiding (12 months) so I am learning a lot about the creature, but the best day I have had so far is 18 squid between 3 guys at Portsea pier, clear water, low tide, slight chop, 10am. It was definitely a school that moved through when we got lucky, it went nuts for 40 mins then nothing. So I kinda think that they either are around and feeding or they are not...not sure. I did see one come up to the surface and look at my float though. Bugger.
The guy that got the whiting... if you go to the end of flinders pier, walk to the right (where there is no railing), do a 180 and face the shore, over looking the section that looks like a platform has been removed and is baricaded off. He stood at this point and droppped his rig straight down, and was on in about 3 minutes. I was fuming I had no hooks with me but good on him.
Thanks for all the advice mate I hope to post better reports (in the report section) in the future.
Cheers,
nala
