[quote name='fishyrob' post='8539' date='Apr 27 2007, 07:42 PM']Give it a go. I reckon they ae far more widespread than people realise, just nobody fishes for them!
They are thinning out on the marina now though, being replaced by cuttlefish. Whats the best jig for cuttles, anybody?[/quote]
Same jigs are fine for the cuttles, ie the prawn or fish shaped cloth covered ones. I have noticed that you catch more cuttle by bouncing the jig back very slowly across the bottom - to achieve this fish it behind a small ball lead with a 2 foot leader. (bit risky if its the last jig in brighton perhaps) Squid however seem to prefer more of a faster moving target and are more likely to be caught higher in the water.
