[quote name='Gaby' date='Aug 1 2005, 05:02 PM']For a newbie, can you please give advice as to the best location and time of day to catch squid in the Melbourne and surrounding bay area at this time of year (July/August).

ConditionS will be very good Thursday and Friday at Queenscliff as West to Southwest winds at 10 to 20 knots with high tide at about middnight on both nites give half hour each way of.
These are my favoured conditions for this area and you are in for a good chance of getting some nice squid
I'll probably be there myself
Definately try Queenscliff Pier Try the last few hours of a rising tide at night or early moring choice of lure or bait depends on the mood of the squid but suggest a pink or green lure fish under the last light for big ones
Big Cuttle fish have also been caught from here of late
St. leonards peir has seen a few squid here and there but not in good numbers as yet
As for other parts of the bay I havent heard of too much except the occassional squid around the Mornington area
