Brighton pier and surrounds - VIC

[quote name='rocksy' post='19429' date='May 23 2010, 10:23 PM']Brighton is copping a pounding at the moment, early early morning usually has less fishos.

The tides seem to be making the most difference at the moment, besides the dusk and dawn bite.



If you have the room, walk the pier. 15 mins in one spot and move, cast in a wide arc pattern and cover the water where you are.



Brighton is a funny beast, some days the rocks work really well, some days its the pier. If the conditions are good and your not catching them, your doing something wrong. might be something as simple as depth or speed of the retrieve.





Squid are like dogs, they can be sound alseep and you throw the something and they are off. Always in the mood to chase something that's moving fast enough. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />[/quote]



Very true.

i have found the slow sinking naory to work well when the squid go off the bite.

its liek you throw a 3.0 natural at them and they go nah sinking to fast cbf chasing it.

then you put a 2.2 slow sinking naory and they go ahh i can catch this....

its all in the jis action, but when they are there a simple slow retrieve works just as good as egging.
