Decided to go squidding on Wednesday arvo with some mates at Portsea but initially hit Blairgowrie to see if there was anything. After setting up the baited jig with a pilchard and casting to the right hand side, I was on within about 5 seconds. Couldn't find my float so I thought something was wrong until I saw the tip dive, reminiscent of squid bite. Squid was about 30cm long. Headed to Portsea as my bait became plagued with sea lice.
Wind had picked up and got slighly choppier. To make matters worse, there was no lights at Portsea pier but not to be deterred we gave it a crack. Was quiet for a while but managed to nail a sizable squid (on a baited jig). It measured between 45-50cm long.
Guess things are looking pretty good, waiting for spring to get the warmer weather in to test out my chances.
cheers and good luck
