Was at the altona pier on saturday or sunday night. There's guys there most nights catching squid. I just brought a green squid jig and tried my luck. I could see the little barstards, big black/brown ones, coasting along the pier. But they just had absolutely no interest in the jig at all. Thats funny cos in the past (York peninsula in S.A.)I've had no problems catching squid on jigs, they just go for them suicidally, and if you can see them, catching them is just easy.
Most of the other guys on the pier weren't using jigs.
They were using huge pilchards and phosphorescent floats. I've never gone for squid using anything other than jigs, could someone help me - how do you rig that rig up?Do the squid at Altona ever go for jigs?
I'm not called crapfisherman for nothing. LOL.
Also, I've seen guys catch alot of salmon off that pier too, I'm not sure whether they use bait or lures though.
