I guess you guys are fishing with rods and line? If so do you use the jigs as you would a normal spinning lure? Does any one use handlines to catch em.
I am using three handlines from a boat with two bouyant jags set at 1/2fm from a 6oz weight on each line. if you can keep a constant retrieve on the jags when you catch one and try to create a rising/falling curtain of jigs to attract the buggers in the first place then it doesnt seem to matter what jigs you use, if however you find yourself with no jags in the water the squid will move on very quickly. My best evening to date was 21 squid for less than 2hrs fishing!
Should any one get the opportunity then it is a very busy way to spend an evening (away from the pub)
