Yesterday’s Trip
I had a late start yesterday morning and left from Woodies ramp hoping to find a YTK. Spent some time casting lures but had no luck, changed plans and headed to the back edge of the FFB to sound around.
Things were pretty quiet on the sounder, I found a good show and picked up a small sambo from it. I re drifted and got a blackarse but after that it seemed to shutdown. I pushed out to deeper and found some warmer water with lots of bait holding in the area, however I didn’t sound any bigger fish around it. Was all out of ideas so went with the last resort and chased squid.
First drift resulted in a few average sized squid and a 34cm hood, which I was stoked with. My previous PB was a 33cm hood. The next drift I upgraded that to a 36cm hood. Good to see some big squid about in the metro waters, I didn’t think I would crack 33cm for a while.
How did everyone else find the fishing yesterday?

nice squid
I managed 6 squid in the afternoon but none were anywhere near that size it was pretty slow and I just thought it was because the water looked a bit green/murky. Fished in between the islands and managed to get a snapper (700) and drop another before dark, good day all round. What depth are you getting those from and are you in the sound if you don't mind me asking.

Squid
Nice work on the Snapper, I should have stayed out longer and fished the sunset.
I had a quick squid on the way out from woodies and got some smaller squid for bait, south side of the point had herring on the surface and found squid around them in 5m. The water was quite clear there, the bigger squid I got out of the sound.

at least you got out there
Putting the time in on the water to sound around and mark some good ground only helps you out in the long run.
...and nailing some fine squid isn't a bad day out either - I love eating them fresh
Good work !
