Nice report mate. Where did you try for the squid? I usually get them off the rocks around the bend.

Before the rockwall, I saw fresh squid marks. The rockwall was fenced off and a lot of people at that end.
Water was a bit dirty, I reckon that's why it was hard. Didn't see anyone catching anything.

Bait/lure/rig : various squid jigs, pipis on paternoster rig 1/0 KL with beads and tube
Rod and reel : Shimano raider 2-4 kg with stradic fk 8lb braid 10 lb fluorocarbon leader for squid jigs. Daiwa Tierra 2-8lb nibble tip rod 10 lb fluorocarbon for whitings on bait

Water was a bit discoloured. No bite til around 3 PM. Few nibbles here and there. No squid. 6x puffs and 1x very small kgw.

When were you there and which part of the pier where you fishing? I was there today too but I didn't get a touch using silverfish. Used storebought burley as well cos I ran out of time to make my own mix.

Cheers for the tips, I think i'll head out again on tuesday with some different stuff and have a go. I was also there during the evening and since I forgot to bring a head torch it made it pretty hard.
