Squidboi,
try checking the Flinders report here: [url="http://www.squidfish.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=40&pid=20380&st=240&#entry20380"]http://www.squidfish.net/forums/index.php?...amp;#entry20380[/url] this is the link to the last, most recent post. Just scroll back from there to see past posts.
Flinders is my has been my preferred spot for over a year now. I very rarely come home empty handed. My mate was there last monday during the day and only got 2 but they were a decent size. When the tide is up you can fish pretty much the entire length of the pier from about the second light pole onwards. I have seen calamari brought in right along the whole pier. I have also seen a couple of BIG occys pulled up as well but I think getting one of them would be a pretty lucky day out.
Lots of people use baited jigs suspended under a float. Usually baited with silver whiting or grass whiting caught from the pier. I usually put out a baited jig or two and then flick around some imitation prawn jigs like yamashitas or yozuri's.
Make sure you have a net on a rope or a long squid gaff as it is a long drop to the water most of the time, and the calamari at Flinders tend to be too big to just haul up with your rod. They just fall off.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
nala
