I bait the rig only if conditions are hard, or if we are two fishing and i want to make sure I don't miss the second one. I tend to use mackerel because I have plenty of them on my freezer.
Most of the time, If I want a feed I just drop by the shore with the rod a bag and two lures... no need for more.
The other case is when I need squid bait for a big fishing day... I take everything and more to secure the catch.
I only use one rod, my style is pretty active moving along the shore looking for the squids. No float, no seat and minimum of gear. If I want to use two roads I bring someone along to fish with me.
I only miss them when using small hooks on small lures. I need to add some barbs on the back to make them more effective. But I'll still catch them by another pass close by if I need to. My rood is fairly stiff but about 3.8m (but feather light, is a trout ultra light set up) so I have plenty of length to play the squid softly. The length enable me to play the lure above the weed and along the shore.
I've discover that they are chewing though the cloth of my prawns. I was thinking that it was the banging against he rocks, but the last spot was deep, and the rips are along the area where they have been taking the lure. They are so aggressive that they try to take the lure apart :blink:
I need to have a better look at the Warehouse, I've never seen those!!!!
Yesterday for a change I went for scallops... got my 40 <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
