Caught these a few nights ago from the pier in Torquay . . . Had nothing for about 2 hours of ebbing tide, then I was just about to go home, when at midnight, these delicious beauties appeared in quick succession at midnight . . .
Then nothing for about 20 minutes, so I looked down over the wall and tight to the wall was the most enormous cuttlefish !! Not sure whether it had claimed it's territory and moved the squid off, but it seemed to command some respect !! (especially from me !) . . .
I noticed that 3 out of the 5 squid were following the jig in as I twitched through the water. It was only when I completely halted the retrieve for 5 or 6 seconds and gave a couple of tiny twitches that they grabbed the jig (fantastic to watch !). . The jig I used is the one pictured; the squid seemed a little wary of it. Just wondering if the other styles of jig are more effective ??
I had been out that day looking for bass with my new Red Luck Super but didn't have any joy . . a wily old seadog told me that the bass are late and a bit spooked because there are too many squid about !! Can this be true ?!!
I thought 5 would be enough for a few days munching, but as you can see my 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter love it as much as me. It's also incredible to discover how many friends you have when you catch fresh squid !!
