Sydney, NSW, Inshore Reefs

[jewgaffer]

Caught these the other day in sydney

on the outer kelp beds in 35m before sun up

and they went off the bite around 10am or they

may have just moved, still trying to figure

out where they go with the movement

of the tide or do they just move into

deeper water who knows. Got some good fresh jew baits

for tonight and a good feed for lunch tomorrow.



cheers

I would have not wrote it otherwise.

In sydney we have kelp beds as deep as 60m

in some areas. A place i fish for kings during the day

over a mass of kelp bed becomes a squiding heven

over night till early hours of the morning. We just sit over

the reef put the spotties on and drop double jigs on weight down

to them and certain times of year it will take 1hr to bag out 20or more

dont know the bag where your from in melbourn.

That must sound very deep for you melbourn guys

but squid are a deep water species in most areas of the world

they spawn in deep water and now is spawning time here in syd.

do you mean outside the heads in sydney harbour, botany or hawkesbury? can't think of an inshore reef at that that depth inside the bays. general locale / terrain please. wouldn't want to direct hoards to your favourite spot.
