up again at 4.45am and had me coffee , grabbed my gear and tossed it in the car and headed down the harbour where I met up with Tony (lody)
at that stage he had seen one squid follow his jig but no takers so we moved along the wall casting our jigs with no luck untill we reached the end of the wall and tony got the attention of a couple of squid so I soon made short work of them and I had 2 in the keg.
things were looking a little grim because by the time we had worked our way along the wall that far we should have seen more squid but we hadn't and I was starting to scratch my head and wonder why?
I found out why later on when I was talking to the yakker...there were bronze whalers cruising the wall and they will eat the squid sure as shyt , so I decided to try one of my good night spots anf just see whats cooking.
first cast I see a hoard of squid roar in after my jig and I'm straight on...so I yell to Tony to get his ass over here and get into them too.
well it was in a matter of 10 minutes we bagged 7 between us and dropped just as many because the squid were not mad grabbing the jigs but just shooting thier shooter tentacles at the tails of the jigs but we soon worked out how to stuff up thier little game of tickle the jig.
they then shot thru and left us....I wonder why hahahahaha..
after that we walked back to the other end of the wall for nothing and then Tony left for home and breakfast and I decided to give it one more round.
so all the way back around to the night spot for nothing and I was walking back when I came asross a scoal of about 6 small to medium squid but they were very shy of the jig as I chased them along the wall with no luck so I stopped and started talking to a guy fishing on his kyak again.
after about 10 minutes of yakking to the yakker the squid passed right in front of me and I thought...why not...cant help myself...just got to give a shot .. and bingo I got one to grab the jig but after that...not a hope...they were jig shocked...I wonder why? hahahaha..I think they were the left overs from the night spot.
anyway I bagged 8 for my effort and Tony got 3 so we got something for our efforts and my weekend tally was 16.. good enough.
till next time inkers
