Thanx for the tip Freelance!!.....
Although, I find with Mornington there doesnt seem to be a sure fire method for catching squid...so many different techniques seem to work...depending on time of day-weather etc...and which spot along the pier ure fishing at..
Personally, Ive only ever had success with small pink yamashita's(no bigger than size 2.0) , sometimes in orange or blue.....and only ever caught them with a bottom sinker rig......but last week some time i watched two guys bag out with a weightless rig towards the shallow end of the pier. as i watched them, i was tempted to change my rig as well, but then i'd turn and look at some where else along the pier and see some catching lots with a sinker rig!!
one day i was there, i had an old guy next to me who was reelin em in non stop...he eventually came over to chek my rig as i wasnt catching anything, and changed the length of my leader slightly and changed the bottom sinker to a much heavier one, and within minutes i was pulling em in...
next time i might try throwing two lines out...one without a sinker and let it sink slowly...and use a my weighted one as well!!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

has anyone seen any salmon come near the pier lately?
