Hey, yes you can.
But its not really a Lorne thing by any means, from South Australia to PPB the whole coast is littered with squid this time of year.
It is the very reason why so many other species also turn up.
Yes indeed you are right, so thick you can't get baits to the bottom, people around here hate them, consider them pests, because they are chasing Snapper or Gummy. I know for a fact they move when the squid move in, because it piss's them off so much.
Nothing new though, they have been there for years and years.... all part of aqua culture and cycles.
Launch your tiny, scoot out to about 30 or 40m and drop your jigs down.
This time of year, i can't even get a second rod out (or even ready) before the first one bends over.
Size? Just school size i guess, some bigger, some smaller... no record breakers, just lots of them.
