Hi All,
Long time squid fisher but I'm a new user so bear with me. I too was gobsmacked when I rocked up to my favorite haunt (queenscliff pier) and realised it was closed for renovations till September or October. For anyone looking for a good spot nearby to queenscliff, I would strongly recommend Port Arlington pier. I have been hitting Port Arlington pier for the last couple of months out of necessity and have been doing extremely well the time of year.
For those who are sceptical, all you need are a good selection of quality jigs (small sizes and dark colours at this time of the year - I usually take 20 - 30 different jigs with me), light line, landing net, some berley and an active approach to your squid fishing. Often when I have been fishing in the last few months, everyone else around me has been squidless whilst me and my mate have often bagged out.
The key I have found is to move around, change the jigs often till you get the right colour or pattern and let the jig sink to the bottom!
