Double bag of squiddies

Post by purple5ive » Sun Dec 17, 2017 7:45 pm

Quick report.
Headed out from mornington to chase some snapper/pinkies.
We looked everywhere for the lil ***** but all we got were undersized or just legal flathead.
Even the punkies were hiding. Sounder was absolutely empty.
Gave up and went for squid.
Bagged in an hour wirth my dad getting his first ever squid and another 4 later on.and we even Released about 5 squid after bagging. We left them biting
They were super agro and we're hitting the jigs hard. Many times i felt them running off with the jigs and struck at them to hook them.
Sephia marble and rui marble did the damage.
All were normal mornington sized squid.
Didn't get pics of tally. But here's some im just eating :-D

Smiley. You better get your @r$e into gear :tongue:

Ps. Forgot to mention while we were at fishies beach noticed a sail boat in distress. Was quite windy and he was attempting to row back to shore. Which i thought was a bit odd. Went and checked him out and sure enough the sail had broken and he was struggling being blown away from land. Towed him back him. And that was my good deed for the day.

I got 4 calamari on the weekend and my mrs was at work so it was up to me to try make the marinades...I tried some calarami on the bbq with a sweet chilli sauce marinade on them. Cooked for about 2 mins on the hottest plate i could get and was pleasantly suprised.

Also tried some in a soy sauce marinade but found it too strong.

Next time il wait for her to get home. Shes greek after all and knows how to prepare some decent tucker

Good report mate.
I lost my job so works a bit speratic atm (getting every second night instead of consecutive nites) and i have to take all the work i can cos probably slow down in jan.so ill fish more then lol
Plus have a marlin trip in march and you be proud lol going to try catch a marlin on a lure lol.

I sent you a message about fishing boxing day. Thats my next day out lol.
Thort you mite tag along for a comp day. I was thinking going mornington but if you cant find them there i try my normal spot lol or try down near flinders.

Squid rings sure look good.
