Nice squid poodoo well done :thumbsup:
Interesting you say that the pinkies are around

yeah was a nice size for this part of the bay. :a_goodjob:

with all this rough weather and strong winds always a chance of pinkies. :cold: just got to get our there.

Agree that anything with a red foil underbelly does very well for squid up the northern end of the bay. Red Harimitsu my favourite in either a 2.5 or 3.0.

top squid! thinking of heading out tomorrow or tuesday. never jigged for squid before, where would my best bet be to have a crack around brighton? cheers fishos!

Brighton Pier is definitely worth a crack.

Brighton pier is good, fish anywhere from the start of the baths all the way and on the breakwall. Look for the ink stains on the pier.

Thanks guys!! I've go time off work so going to hit it hard and practice.Any times particularly good?

hey guys,

me and mate decided to fish the the brighton break wall yesterday. it seems that there are signs of life there at the moment.
we managed two pinkies one keeper (32cm ) and the other was undersized. we also got a port jakson, and a banjo. the wind made it difficult to fish ( very gusty ) but we decided to pack it at around 7.30 ( which was the best time to be fishing ). we got there at around 5.30pm and we were gonna fish it till about 10pm but with that bloody gust it made it hard to fish of the rocks. defiantly worth going up there now. bait used was fresh squid.
cheers Bas.

Well done Bass they do seem to be about at the moment. When the wind blows there it can become quite productive usually when it's uncomfortable :a_goodjob: :cheers:

Great work still giving it a go with the wind. I was down there yesterday as well fishing just before the bend from 10.30-11.45am with no result. Wind was terrible so decided to give up. Other fishos on the pier were burley-ing like mad but looked like no bite either

Great work and effort fishing in 30knots northerly. The position of Brighton breakwall made strong northerlies hard to fish. The wind will drag your line sideways.

The fish seems to be in the marina side. Just try not to sink a boat with your sinkers. :lol:
