Gday Jimbo, welcome to the forums! Hope you stick around.
I have only fished Queenscliff a few times, others on the site will be able to help you better than me. What I do know is:
-You can catch them during the day, but it's better at night
-Baited and artificial jigs work, but the bigger ones generally get caught on baited jigs. I've only caught small (<500gm) squid at Queenscliff, and they've all been on artificials.
-After rain it's probably too murky to do well, in the rain, as long as the water is clear, you should be in with a chance.
-Not sure about wind at Queenscliff, but it's been still the few times that I've been.
Another thing, the guy near you that caught 4, did you notice what bait/jigs he was using? That might give you a clue about what works best.
Good luck, and keep the reports coming!
Cheers
Jaz
