I've seen squid taken at the northern side of Avoca beach, on the rocks just on the corner in the weed there.
Hope it helps.

The squid are nearly always in the Haven @ Terrigal.Cast off the rocks.Jig colour to me is most important,one of them will work.
Cheers.

Avoca is hit and miss but can fire with a mix a small and medium squid. Darker colours seem to be the go. The guy next to me last month was using a black jig and pulled a few more than me on blue and purple. The boat ramp at Norah head at night also produces on a high tide.

Cheers I went out yesterday in the kyack and had a lot of trouble getting the jig to the bottom due to wind and current should I be using a deep diving jig I never had any trouble getting to the bottom using soft plastics in the same areas seeking flathead and this was when I often saw the squid following the plastics.
