[quote name='fishyrob' post='9418' date='Sep 27 2007, 11:31 PM']It occured to me that I dont believe there has ever been a squid fishing competition in the UK. But they have been reliable in visiting my part of the coast the last couple of years in the early spring. And stomache contents of recent fish catches suggest that their offspring are out there in force right now. I think that they are reliable enough, that I reckon it might be fun to have a competition that is squid only!
Does anybody have any experience of squid competitions? Are there any unseen hiccups to my cunning plan?
The Brighton Marina is ideal for competiive fishing, and with little else to fish for when the squid are around, it just might get a few more people interested in squid! I have yet to check out a tide book, but I thought I would float the idea on here to see if there is any reaction!![/quote]
Hi Rob, Have you tried at this time of year, the water is clear due to lack of gales, and the squids are normally a lot larger from hatching in the spring and growing through out the summer. They seem to follow the small schoolie bass around, and then tuck into the herring and sprat when they start in November. Cheers. Phil the fish
