I bought some squid jigging gear this afternoon and then spent a couple of hours net surfing to see how it was done having never tried it before. I found this site and a few others to get me on my way. After setting up with a ridiculously expensive japanese jig I decided to give it a few casts just to test it out my new rod. I picked a spot along New South Head Road between Lyne Park and the Pier Restaurant based purely on convenience. I really didn't expect to catch anything. It was dark with an onshore breeze. I have no idea of the condition of the bottom, presence of weed etc. Anyway, the second cast produced a nice squid. I didn't continue because I didn't have anything to put the squid into and also hadn't renewed my fishing licence. I am totally hooked. I think I like this better than fishing.
