Squidding/fishing the South Mole?
Submitted by sarcasm0 on Tue, 2010-08-03 07:39
Gday All,
On friday after tafe, a few people from my class and I had a crack squidding from the South Mole. After about an hour we all gave it away as there didnt seem to be much going. I tryed about 2/3rds of the way down on the south side, the tip north and south and back at the beginning of the mole on the north side near the jetty structure next to the maritime museum.
Was I just on the wrong day? The water clarity was there, it was overcast and every now and then some light rain fell.
Where is a good spot on the mole if any? Or should I just go for herring and gardies, maybe take a big rod and send out some live baits or mulies?
I remember the FWA website saying that south mole is the north moles poorer cousin, is this truly the way?

All the success i've had on
All the success i've had on the north mole has been at very precise times for squid, sunset is the best time and you can get your bag in about an hour - hour and a half.
I do find overcast days very good too :/ what was the tide at?
North mole seems to have squid all day every day, yet even more on sunrise/sunset.
I'll Pm you a couple spots

It was between 3-4pm on friday, and I think High tide would have been 5:20pm so maybe it was a bit fast for them. Looked pretty squiddy to me!

fast moving tide dont fare
fast moving tide dont fare that well for the little squiddies, Southmole and Northmole on a good day they should be biting most of the day, clear water, no tide running out fast or coming in, the big ones are near the light house(700gm-1kg).
