last night would have to of been the night where i saw the most squid! id say well over 20! however, didnt end up catching a thing! initially i was getting alot of interest from afew squid with my 3.0 pink/yellow jig... quite afew squid would lunge at the jig and let go at the final minute before i could net them out of the water... i found that the squids that did lunge at the squid would only do so 2 or 3 times then they would move on, and no matter wat type of jig retrieval method i used after that, it wouldnt catch their interest... i also tried various other coloured jigs lastnight such as blue, orange and green, but the pink/yellow one seemed to get the best results interms of catchin the squids interests... alot of the squid would surround the jig while i was doing a slow retrieval but not strike at it while others would actually swim away from the jig <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

it was a very frustrating night as the squid were all right there.... ahh, but its still early days, winter awaits!
