Will be very interested to see if you get any squid, as i am heading down that way on Good Friday, mainly in search of bait for a trip down to Salt Creek a couple of weekends after, and there is nothing like some fresh squid heads to tempt the mulloway.......
If your going to try cape jervis, get there early, as the ferry leaves at around 9am i think and this generally sitrs the water, and the squid stop biting for an hour or so.........
When we got there, we usually fish there till the ferry leaves (starting from about 6am) and then head to Rapid Bay or Second Valley.........
Another spot to try is the breakwater at Wirrina, but make sure you hold your rod and keep winding in the slack line or it will get tangled around the rocks.....
For interests sake, my biggest squid from cape jervis is 3kg+ taken on a morning when we got 12, with not one under 1kg, so they are a good size there - but take a landing net - we use a dab net, and when we hook a squid, i climb down the end of the jetty, onto the bottom sleeper and net the squid, as they never get hooked on the barbs on the baited jigs!!
Good Luck!!

SA - the land of the bigger fish. The fish on the east, measure the least, but if you head west, you'll be bringing in the best!!
