Flinders report - VIC

[Guest]

they have also swarmed around rye too i went there had a good catch of 10 but the guy next to me had this big white bucket half full of squid and i go why is he alloud to have that many i reckon the inspectors should come more down to rye cause there heaps of ppl doing illegal things

hey squidders

Mornington has had good numbers of very small squid but these have seem to dropped off a bit in the last week

Very small squid around most the peirs around Port Phillip bay while the boaties are doing very well with squid up to 2 KG caught from main areas and reefs of the bay. This I find as unusual that no big squid have been caught from the peirs except for Flinders

A few reports of the odd cuttlefish which should improve as the colder weather sets in <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':oops' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Had a fish at Flinders last week for a poor result of only one squid. Did better on other two occasions (April). Unfortunately a top squid fisherman has moved into the area and is pretty much cleaning up. This guy is an animal, forget about taking squid home they are going straight down his gob! If any of guys run into him tell him to piss off.



Ps. His name is Sammy

[Mr_Willy]

Is that Sammy the Seal by any chance?? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' />

[Mr_snapperman]

Have you known a seal by any other name? Must get awfully confusing within their groups.

[Mr_Willy]

Yeah, sounds familiar!! Dont know if he'd listen if you told him to piss off though!!

[Luxy]

Just seeing if its worth going down at the moment.

dam this weather doenst look like im going,

[supersquid]

yes its bloody cold and windy



problem is squid tend to go into a feeding frenzy in this type of weather at times



with spawing season starting my guess would be anyone brave enough to venture out will probably bag out

Im not that game anymore must be old age lol

[Mr_snapperman]

A report......., a little late as usual. Headed down to Flinders about two weeks ago. Arriving at 1pm the jetty was completely packed - 33 individuals fishing for squid! Your guess as to the amount of floats bopping up and down! Many had been there from very early for very little squid. From 1 pm to 6pm I saw only one squid caught. To my suprise after 6 the pier started to clear out and I actually managed a decent spot off the end. Not for long however as two newcomers came on either side and basically started throwing their floats over mine. What to you do?

By the time I had started to pack up at 11 pm I had only two small squid (1kg and .5kg) but I had done allot better than most. As I thinking of bringing the last float in the float next to it went down and the guy brought in probably the largest squid I have ever seen 4.5kg??)

Damn it should've been me!

[Mr_Willy]

4.5kg!!! That is massive - ive caught a 3kg and that was huge - probably as bit as they get i think...........
