ohh i forgot too mention that the technique i told you doesnt seem to work that well with really small squid or arrow squid, they just dont have enuff weight to hold their ink.
Â
we get squid all year round, but come late dec, jan & feb the calamari are too small and i lose a little interest, as i dont see the point in catching 30+ squid in one session that struggle to measure 15cm, well that and i hate getting sunburned.
Â
NO Shit! 50cm to 1m?? i knew east coast tasmania, melbourne and bermagui held some large squid upto 60cm (give or take 5cm) but pushing a metre??
where do i sign up? in the last couple of years they found 2 dead ones floating around at sea, the one of jervis bay had a 2m hood, and the second one was a few kms out from port hacking n it was around the 1.5m mark and apprently theres a old/bloke in a tinnie that fishs off palm beach n managed a 9kg squid jan this year or last yr, my mate seen the foto sez its huge,, i havent, so to me its still just a rumour. but there would be a few monsters lurking around aus but no one really fishs for em, so u cant say they dont exist.
Â
im really intrested now in this squid,place and method there useing in catching these monsters. are they southern calamari or a different species? when u say 4m of line are they long lining n hope for the best type of thing? any idea on water depth?i know it would be hard but id love to see a pic if you could get one. i might have to organise a trip to wa.

thanx craigo,
