hey Jaz
Yes the water was fairly clean
I dont know what it is around the east side of the bay with the small squid but I have found the Mt Martha rock produce good sized squid once the water warms up
All Ive ever seen at Mornington has been bait sized squid and Ive fished there time and again when the reports come in and Ive never seen anything of a decent size.Queenscliff is also worth a look for squid and there are some huge cuttlefish getting about off the peir of late although I didnt go down there last night.
High tide at the heads is about Middnight tomorrow night so this is what I suggest if you want to go home with some squid
I suggest trying pink as far as color goes as they wouldnt look at anything else but I didnt have baited jigs with me either use a medium sized lure.
Fish Queenscliff till about 12 and if your not doing to well scoot around to St.Leonard where the tide is another 2 and half hours behind the heads this will give you about another two hours fishing time.
Just a point I would like to make is that while I favor the rising tide for squid they do come on the bite during other stages of the tides, it just that I have the best success during the last two hours of a rising tide but have bagged out a low tide at times
