Well after my first attempt down at Hillarys I managed to catch a few more squid. I found I was getting less after sunset except one time when I was trying for Tailor and noticed a squid trailing my bait in. I swapped back to a jig and jagged him straight away. I think the squid was liking the real fish more. Tried one of those jigs where you skewer your own fish on another time but didn't get anything. There are squid out there at least. Might have something more to do with my technique then anything. Managed to catch heaps of Herring down there and a few Tailor also. We've caught two 44cm Tailors and a 34cm also. Haven't been out for a while now.

Top stuff aaron! Its great going home with a feed of herring and a squid for some fresh squid rings. Yum! I would def use squid jigs as opposed to the baited prongs they just don't catch as much as a well worked jig in my experience.
Cheers,
Pete
