I could see a similar closure being applied to the spawning squid around PPB and WPB heads around the same time of year - it would make some people angry, but I think that better recruitment of eggs and no targetting of squid while spawning would lead to a better year-round squid fishery in Victoria <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> As it is now, the fishing seems to be in decline in these areas, many regulars who target these spawners have been lamenting the lack of squid this season and in recent years.
