Remarks:
This was our second time squid fishing in Australia (first time in Mooloolaba). South East Queensland is difficult for squiding as there are many large esturine rivers that deposit vast amounts of silt and other debris into the ocean. In my experience squid prefer a sandy or rocky bottom with seaweed. The like CLEAN realtively still water. Maybe Sandgate pier can catch squid the locals say that its pretty tough, they say they are usin the wrong technique but catching squid is idiot proof. At my secret squiding Island in the Gulf of Thailand I see heaps of kids catching squid on a 35baht ($1.10 AUD)YO-SARI squid jig and a Beer Can Hand line land 500g-1kg Squid.
I'm sorry SE QLD maybe next time I should save my money and head to Japan.
