Hi supersquid,
In all the times ive been to mornington pier, i have seen a variety of sizes caught, as well as having caught a variety of sizes. Having said that, the average squid caught there would be 500g and below, however occasionally i've seen squid well over 1kg being caught. Perhaps the baby squid prefer to stay in that area and move around as they grow larger; as i know queenscliff has a larger average size.
Smaller squid are better i think, they are more tender and are better for bait. So im quite happy with mornington pier for calamari, although having the larger ones on your line sure would be fun!
