Hey there,
Me and my mates have been going up to Ardrossan every week now for the past 3 weeks. The squid up there are MASSIVE! We usually go crabbing with the nets off the jetty but one night we brought a line with us and we caught a huge mama, we didn't realise until we got home that she had some eggs in her too. It's great up there, the snook are swimming in the shallow waters just taunting us, we didn't have any hooks - just jags - but they were chasing our line all night - we even tried to catch em in our nets!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> Best time for squid was probably about 5am, that's when we were leaving though, but an old Italian lady caught 2 in about 5 minutes! One of em squirted her right in the face <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> We're going up there again in a couple of days, we are from Adelaide so it's about an hour and a half drive up there but it's well worth it - fresh calamari and crabs are the BOMB! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
