Screwpile Jetty at Granite Island, SA

[Guest]

hey ppl, i'd just like to say how hard I have found squid fishing in the first two days ive tried it. I bought a green jarvis walker prawn style size 4 imitation jig for $3 australian which i thought was good and cheap. The first day I fished off the screwpile jetty at granite island, south australia. I had no luck, though it was mid afternoon. I thought okay, better luck tomorrow. The next day I went down to the Port Noarlunga Jetty at 7:00am in the morning. There were some squid about, as I saw afew people wind some in with imitation jigs. I had no luck though attracting a single squid. I tried to copy the style off the successful squid fisherman, but with no luck. I tried for several hours, no results. That night I went back at about 7:00pm at night to the same jetty. Once again afew people landed some squid. I had no luck once again. This got really frustrating because I cast and wound out thousands of times in numerously different locations along the jetty and as soon as this guy gets there who was a total amateur and didnt kno what he was doing, he caught a massive pink squid. I came home severely frustrated with a sore wrist to nurse the next day. A little injury I call RSJ. Repetitive Squid Jigging.



Can anyone please give me advice on what I may have been doing wrong, was it possibly my technique, colour of my jig (most of the successful squidders seemed tohave pink jigs) or am i doomed to never catch a squid! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/as.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />
