most of the terrible weather has pasted, and the squid are back.
Â
i've been fishing the hacking and sydney harbour, with very good results.
if your fishing outside or inside it doesnt really matter at the moment, but the larger winter squid are slowly moving into the bays/port/harbours, with a few catches in the low 30's and many just shy of the 30 cm mark.
1 very large model was lost by a amatuer, because of the drag not being set, i would of estimated it to be around the 40cm mark after watching it distort the rod and the big pulse it took to run. but i guess they the guy will live n learn from this experience and will always check his drag.
Â
i'm also getting reports that few other guys have been getting a few in the high 20's low 30's around the hacking , and another man n son caught multiple arrows @ lilli pilli/wallys wharf at night mostly all bait sized.
Â
pittwater has seen a few calamari's but mostly good average size, some bigger models around but you have to hunt for them.
apple tree bay (ATB) has been poor lately, very small arrows, very few and very timid.
