Hi guys, with the water still dirty from last week's rain conditions are less than ideal, however I was determined to get out off Aspendale on Sunday and try my new shrmp hunter jig......yes, I finally bought one to see what all the fuss was about these $24 jigs. To make this a legitimate test I fished for squid with 2 near-identical rods, one had a 2.5 blue and pink shrimp hunter, and the other my trusty 2.0 green yamashita. I only caught 2 squid in 3 hours, and both were on the shrimp hunter. I repeated the experiment Sunday night at Mordialloc pier, and yet again caught 2 squid on the shrimp hunter, none on green or orange 2.0 yamashitas.
I have to admit I was surpised, but the shrimp hunters do look more lifelike in the water. I'd like to repeat the test on a day when the squid are a bit more prolific. Has anyone else tried a test like this?
