Top report mate. What berley do you use for squid? Sounds interesting. I have never thought they would go for berley.

Here's the secret mate - don't laugh either - I saw a bloke doing this a couple of years ago when fishing the queenscliff harbour for trevally on soft plastics and tried it on my cloth jigs and it worked. I still get stupid looks from other fishos when I'm on the pier spraying this stuff on my jigs.
The secret is olive oil garlic spray that you buy at the supermarket. Forget out the other stuff that costs a fortune at the tackle store. I pack my garlic spray before I pack my jigs. I honestly can't remember many times going squid fishing when I've been outfished by the people around me. Can't explain why or how it just does.
The other technique I sometimes use is to freeze berley (mainly bread crumbs/ tuna oil / guts / garlic spray) in a 2 litre plastic milk container. I mainly use this when I'm at queenscliff the pier is packed and I have to fish in 1 spot. I tie the container to a rope, pierce it with my knife and let it sink down and it starts to defrost and release the berley. I fish my jigs in close proximity and immerse them in garlic spray. Don't know why but it works!
Do you have any tips or techniques that work for you? It is probably a good discussion point for fellow squid fishers...
