I think the light sticks just turn squid of. I have seen lots of people try but with no real luck at all. Luminous jigs are the way to go for sure.
Bloody Mozzies! those things with some sand flies thrown in is a killer. I still have scars on my legs from being attacked months ago! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbsup2:' />
Thinking of a perfect example about lights and night squidding. On the weekend we were out in the boat just on dark and I switched the deck lights on so we could get the gear ready to go bottom bashing for snapper. The lights shine right into the water at the back on the boat. As soon as that happened huge numbers of squid came up to the back of the boat....do you think one of them took a jig though!! they didnt even try and grab the jigs whatsoever! You would have had better luck scooping them up with a net. We had caught our bag limit between 3.00pm - 6.00pm and on dark they just come out to play I guess..
The only problem I guess is the fact that most of us don't have time during the day to get out and go for a squid..leaving the late arvo and evening only.
