Hi all
I fished Queenscliff peir 16/6/03 and caught 5 BIG squid (all spawners) on red colored lures the peir was just about desserted with only three people including myself fishing, not much happned till one of the other anglers said that he had done well over the last few weeks and used mainly red lures, I started to fish with green and pink lures but changed to red when the guy told me he bagged out using red lures and sure enough as soon as I changed color I started getting bites. The wind was west to south west with high tide about 2.am with most squid caught around middnight in the dark areas of the peir none were caught with in distance of the lights other anglers managed two or three each, I found it unusaual that these squid were big fat spawners that dont usaually show up till September and normaly these squid travel in big numbers so recent reports I have gathered on Queenscliff seem on the ball and its has been suggested that most peirs are fishing very well for squid in the last week
The water was very clean but not many squid around this time but prospects for the next trip are looking very good I suggest fishing this area in the next week as the full moon is on the wane
