Hi,
I'm a beginner fisherman and I'd love to be able to have a go at catching a squid. I'm from the Dorset area and would really like it if anyone could help advise me on a good location to try for squid, but I'd also like some help regarding setting up my line.
I basically need to know everything - what sort of line strength would I need, would I be best float fishing with the jig? (a lot of people seem to use this method when trying for squid). I thought that the idea was to move the jig around to attract the squids attention, but if float fishing then wont the jig just remain static?
Also, might be a bit of a silly question but how can you gauge the depth of the water in which you are fishing?
If anyone has a picture of the line setup for the squid jig/floats etc then that would be really helpful too <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />
Thanks for any help!
