Spot A i'm using yakkas, got two squid on the baits and bupkis on the jigs.
Spot B i haven't tried them yet... but i will.
I only use them late at night when no one is there because they drift a fair bit with the float.
I only use the yakka because i have a short bait jig and the silver whiting are to big.
I don't think its the salmon that is spooking them, they might just be in lower numbers than they were with plenty of food around or the baitfish have moved on. With the weather changing it could be a barometric pressure thing, could be too much fresh, could be the bigger ones headed off into the deep for any number of reasons.
Over fishing maybe at some spots, there was 30-40 big squid being caught at the bayside piers everyday for a while there.
I was told there was 3 BIG squid hanging in the shallows the other night eating the tiny baitfish and wouldn't even look at the jigs.
All a bit of a mystery.
But having such a good run on them should have taught us a thing or two, anyone can catch them when they in the mood.
Catching them when they are wise up to our tricks should make us good squid fishermen... in theory.
