Finally had the chance to go for a flick, yesterday afternoon. The swell was down and set to stay 1metre or less most of this week so after reading squidanators report & a few others, about larger squid being outside on the ocean front i had to give it a go!
The wind was terrible, but the egi action was really hot!
Â
i was there for around 45min, managed 10 southern cals, all were extremely aggressive at attacking the jig that my brand new yamashita jig was destroyed, by the end of it all it looked like a furry cloth ball with barbs at the end of it!
Most of the squid were in the high 20's biggest being 29cm hood, not big, but very angry,all but the 2 smaller ones pulled drag hard!!
Â
the best session ive had for a few months now!! :woot:
Â
my tips for this week:
if your after bigger squid, fish the ocean fronts this week, swells are small so u'll have a chance to get out there. it will also buy time as u wait for all that rain to clear up out of the bays, n rivers. im hearing reports all along sydneys coast from wollongong, eastern suburbs, northern beaches..
Â
if your after arrows for bait size, atm rose bay has been hot, (but just keep n eye out for that oil slick, there was a large oil slick there in the past week)
and the hacking, around lilli pilli has had lot of arrows recently.
