Description of squid fishing destination: Aspendale weed beds
* Region/State - Victoria
* Nearest major town - Aspendale
Short description of the fishing opportunities available
There are fairly extensive areas of weed and light reef 0.5-1.5km off Aspendale (therefore only accessible by boat). You can usually pick up a few squid during the day, but best times are first and last light. This area really fires during the easter period, I bagged out on three consecutive days over the easter long weekend. The squid are not huge, but are quite numerous. Small jigs are the best, size 2.0 in green being my favorite. I usually drift for squid, fishing with jigs suspended a few metres off the bottom. It's always worthwhile putting out a rod baited with whitebait or squid for the many, many flathead, and occasional snapper which can be caught here during the summer months.
