Hit Flinders pier on Weds 20th of August fully armed and prepared for a big session. Infact I dragged myself out of bed at 3.30am and I was at the pier at 5.30am. Surely I would be the only one at that time! NO. There was 7 or 8 blokes out there at that time and a few others turned up in the next hour. What do you have to do to get a good piece of jetty these days? Fished from 5.30 to 9.30am for the result of only one squid (see photo). During that time only one other was caught!. It was however a glorious morning with bright sunlight and hardly any breeze. I later spent the day fishing off Gunnamata where I had some fun with a couple of salmon spinning a 35g laser in the surf. Catching a 2kg Salmon with 7lb light spinning outfit made my day.
In the evening I tried again off Finders from 7pm to 11pm without any scales being disturbed off anybodys jigs. One bloke had however caught 2 squid and a very good octopus (approx 4kg) before I arrived.
As a matter of interest the squid caught had both its arms missing about half way down.
[Edit - I have shrunk the photo down since it was too wide. Cheers, Glen]
