Mike, you need to take her father out fishing first, just you and him. Show him what a safe and competent captain you are (so no running aground, and don't order him round and make him swab the decks <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> ). It will be even better if you can put him onto some fish. Then he shouldn't have any worries about you taking his daughters out for a day on the bay <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' />
As for the squid around Altona - all my squid in the past month or so have been 'bycatch' from just having a jig in the water while targetting flathead or pinkies. I've been getting a couple every trip. So I reckon you should just get out there and drift over your favorite flathead spot, throw that brown hayabusa jig out and keep half an eye on it <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Another thing, word on the street is that the gars are starting to fire up, and that they are the best bait for bigger snapper at the moment <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
