I would try early in the day, but during the day is fine. Ive only got 1 squid at Wallaroo, but there are a few around there - just after the pool area at the start. Moonta i havent fished, but i would try at Pt Hughes - there are lots of squid there!!

[squid351]

thanks heaps for your help im looking at going on another squiding trip in the next month or so ,so ill try going to pt hughes instead of moonta wallaroo we went to moonta in january for a full day and nights squiding and came back with 7 squid between the 4 of us and had a ball doing it,,,, my first preferance now is squiding im hooked ,,,,,,just a quick note though there was plenty more in the water in the night that we could see but thay wouldent go for our jags for the love of money,, that was soooooooooo frustrating , we tryed changing colours and that didnt work but hay i bet thats squiding ,,,,,thanks again for your help its great to get advice from people who know more about different topics,,,,,,,, im planning the trip as we speak ,,, goodluck squiding mate

im a regular squidder at moonta, at dusk squid just after the little swimming enclosure, ive had by best luck there on either side of the jetty. im keen to try at dawn. but thats all the tips i have really haha

[mayorofporthughes]

first light on the blue line at port hughes jetty, cant go wrong, or like others said moonta bay just after swimming enclosure,



went down the bay jetty and got 3 squid in couple hours where the shed use to be but got a dozen good size crabs as the tide eas half way in.

hi mayor,



thanks for the fishing report and welcome to the forum!



cheers, glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[mayorofporthughes]

went down port hughes jetty at 2pm on monday just gone and had 6 nice squid in the bucket within 2 hours, would not touch a teaser line (unusual) but loved the jags. at one stage there were a few roaming around the jag at once so my old mate pat even jagged a couple to. all in all a good arvo.



Lately theyve been a bit quiet as the poor old squid cop a flogging over xmas school holiday break, its good to see it mite be getting back to normal........ until easter

[glen]

sounds good. thanks for the report <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':ink' />

[mayorofporthughes]

i know this is a forumn dedicated to squid ( a damn good one to) but my advice to anyone heading away for a squid this weekend is make sure you dont forget a crab ne.



I went for my usual flick of the jag today and only got one squid but the booby prize was i got 15 nice big male crabs.



plenty of them around by the look as i wasnt the only one getting a good feed.



Have a good weekend all and may the squid be with you

[glen]

I just bought a hoop net the other day (to try and catch yabbies in the murray where i failed miserably). Maybe I can try catch some crabs instead! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Hello all,



I'm new to this forum, I was wondering does anyone know when the Moonta Jetty will be reopened. It is currently closed at the moment for an upgrade.
