I started fishing in the bay (for squid) after seeing someone do it down the coast and got into squidfish.net and asked a heap of questions to the glen and the guys and have had some good days and terrible ones but from what I can work out so far that in the far end of the beach (Yarra Bay) directly across from the sailing club where the container wall meets the beach, on the rising tide I have hooked up some big buggers but in saying that I have'nt had a bite for a few weeks now, but when they are on you can see them from the top where the cars park.
I'm not sure if squid fishing gets this technical or just coincidence, but the days I catch them is when the old men have been occy fishing and are tenderising the occys on the rocks for hours smashing them with sticks over again and all the ink and juice running back into the bay.
This may not be relevant, but last week I took my little boy up there and we found a squid washed up on the rocks and it was enourmous. I'm guesing it was just died of old age but it scared the Buzz Lightyear out of my little boy, although once he realised it was actually dead he was all over the the thing.
Forgot to mention, I've had luck with the big orange jig, or the pilchard on gangs with the float.
Cheers
