Hey Jimbo
Queenscliff does fish ok in the winter for squid but you will find alot of the old regulars dont fish here because its too cold
If the seal is around its good and bad because if he is there means that there are squid about the bad thing is he eats them and scares them off and will also pinch them off your jig
If you can bare the cold I find a rising tide around middnight and a s/sw wind of about 10 to 15 knots produces the goods I find it good at that this time because most people have gone home and you have the peir to yourself.
I have caught good bags of squid from here at 2 or 3 in the morning when it freezing cold aand about 4 or 5 degrees and no one around, the key here also is to move around if your not getting a bite.also stick around for the run out tide in the shallows your sure to get on to a few.
Thing about fishing for squid here in the winter is they might be on the smaller size but they are about. dont fish directly in the light but fish where the light fades into darkness
