[quote name='squidmatt' post='18606' date='Apr 23 2010, 03:05 PM']Ah thanks for all of the help!
I was actually at Lulworth cove the other day (next door to Durdle Door), I'll give it a go there, only problem with that place is the parking, is really expensive and think it is closed at night. Is it best to try for squid at night or during the day do you think?
And when using a float and a squid jig are you supposed to pull at the line to make the jig bounce up and down to attract their attention? Or is it a slightly different technique?
Thanks again[/quote]
Please remember that in Brighton we are still working on whats what, and Peters info from Perth cannot be discounted. However, we are finding more action during the day than at night, even with floodlights. Mornings deffo best (landed one, missed 4 today. Normally the statistics are the other way around, but of course I had cameras running today!!) The swells will work the float well enough, but adding movement has to be worth a go. From my observations, the squid are pretty active free swimming predators, whilst its looking like the cuttles are quite fond of an ambush point. As soon as the video we have taken is put together, I will put up a link for you to check it out.
