[quote name='colin' post='9536' date='Oct 30 2007, 07:49 PM']A guy I work with fishes Pittwater regularly and often picks up squid as a by catch. They drift for flathead as well as tossing out SP's. The squid often attack the bait or lures and follow them to the surface where the guys always have a squid jig rigged up ready. The purpose in telling you this is that he reports a large number of calamari squid in Pittwater at the moment including some of the biggest he has ever seen ( don't have any weights or dimensions though). He said that they are also finding some of them (or being found by them) on the sand bottom, well away from the weed beds.
I went out last Saturday ( for the first time in 5 months) to middle harbour and caught 3 nice calamari at Manly, but next time I'm going to Pittwater!![/quote]
Thanks for the info Colin! Any idea which part of of pitt water did your mate go? is it possible to catch big squids in pitt water land based?
Cheers,
Richard
