Met R U 12 Mug down at the harbour last night about 9.00pm for a squid bash.
The water was a bit dirty and we had to put sinkers in our pockets to stop getting blown away by the howling north east wind blowing !
Did a couple of laps of the esplanade and the rock wall near the restaurant on the point and saw one good sized squid but couldn't tempt it.
We were sitting at the public boad ramp near the Trailer boat club having a smoke when Mug says there's one !
Damned if I could see it.
Turned out it was right under our feet in about two foot of water.
1 - nil to Mug.
Went for another walk along the esplande and the Guru of Manly boat harbour latches on to the biggest squid I've ever seen caught down there !
It was actually make good runs on the drag each time Mug got it near the net.
After about three runs he managed to net it and put it on the concrete to let it ink out.
This thing had to be at least a kilo squid.
2 - nil to the Guru.
It was close to midnight by the time we got back to the cars so I headed off home.
The guru in typical fisherman fashion said " I might just have one more cast."
He probably caught more after I left.
