so has your water temp started to drop? do you find when this happens the larger squid come back to the shallow reefs?

but yeah, as it gets warmer we can get them from shore again. This year seems slow though.
There is a place 2 and half hours south of here where we go. By boat we can get them almost all year, exluding summer. But in autumn its rare to get them over 1kg. I've heard of 3 to 4kg in spring but the best I've done is 2kg. From the shore the season is more restricted, only about 2 to 3 months in spring and autumn.
Close to where I live, the shore season is really short, about 1 month and off shore in spring is a couple of months. I haven't heard much of people off shore in autumn. Sizes tend to be a little smaller than further south.
