great reply egi zed, thanks.
Interestingly, tonight is the full moon but I was out with no luck or even a sighting at two piers last night (very clear water) and grabbed a few 4 nights ago in similar conditions. One night was top of the high tide, the other was the bottom of low tide... so barely a current on both occasions which may have been an added disadvantage.
Bag limits were relatively easily made just weeks ago, but this string of nights seems to be the exception, rather than the rule this season.
Jigs are cheap, and piers are plentiful. I've enticed 4 others so far into trying their hand at squidding for the first time in the coming weeks, so I'll certainly be out regularly over the next few months.
I'll keep the tides/currents in mind, but my fishing time is only from 10pm-3am on nights I have free from other commitments, so I'll just go when it's convenient and hope for the best. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />

Never happier than on a quiet pier, on a cold, dark, wet night, with a bucket to sit on, pole in hand and a fully charged iPod.
