Was going to go squiding this Sat but couldn't wait and ended up going squiding at Sandgate pier last night instead. It was my first time jigging for squids!!
We had 3-5 jigs working for 4 hours and only caught 3 squids (about the length of your hand)~ <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Every now and then, we would hear the squids come up to the surface and make some squirting sound. We also saw a couple of squids swimming on the surface of the water ... away from our jigs!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

One squider there on the jetty was very kind and gave us the only squid he caught for the night~ He also gave us his glowstick that he has finished with. One of my friends rubber band the glowstick to the belly of his size 2.5 pink jig and caught a squid.
I felt a squid on my jig once last night too, but I got too excited and forgot about keeping the line tight.... so I lost it after about 2-3 secs ... Oops!
Squiding was fun but harder than I thought!!
