There was no hookup at sunset.
After dinner, I was told by one of the resident that he caught two huge ones couple nights ago, but patience is required.
Hence I headed straight back to the jetty and it was basically deserted because the Footy game was on that night. After about one hour casting everywhere from the jetty, got the record breaking [my own record] squid and as you can see a second one was lurking behind.
But I was distracted by a visitor [whom I gave the squid to and in return, helped me snap my pictures with me in it]...by the time we settled down, the second biggish squid has left.
They were quite picky though, unlike the last time, they went straight for the egi, where as this time round they were careful. And for the rest of the night, it was just smallish baby squid about 10cm and the normal ones at 15cm - 20cm mantle length. As of that weekend, hundreds of children will be fishing for these squids shoulder to shoulder on the jetty when all of them come for a week or so for the school holidays. The next morning was disappointing too, only one hookup at dusk [approx 16-19cm mantle length] and nothing else.
Am really looking forward to the next trip now.
