Hey Gav,
This is an easy one, you need to fish for the squid with pilchards on a pin jig (are you familiar with these - they're just a metal rod with the same hooks as the prawn jigs, should be able to get them at most tackle shops - ask for the squid jigs you use whole fish with). Thread the metal rod in the TAIL of the pilchard, and out through the mouth, and you should start hooking them up.
If you can't get hold of a pin jig, you could try pulling the pilchard out of the water once the squid has shown interest or grabbed it, then immediately replace the pilchard with a prawn jig. Some guys use this 'teaser' method quite effectively.
Good luck, and let us know how you go!
Cheers
