Squid session!

Post by Angus :) » Sat Jul 21, 2018 9:39 pm

Hello all!

This is my first report on this site! :-D

Went out of Grassy point on the kayaks (inbetween Portarlington and Indented Heads). Paddled out towards the mussel farms and tried drifting for squid. However, the estimated 12km/h winds, which are usually perfect for drifting on my kayak, were non-existent. The water was like glass, and I was on the slack tide, which made drifting impossible...and I forgot the burley! So just chucked the yamashita 3.0 jigs around, landed a few average ones (20-25cm hood). In the end, I spent about an hour and a half on the water and I managed 5 in the end. Only kept 3 for bait, let the other two go.

I’ve definitely had better sessions at Grassy point. Everyone else I spoke to had caught donuts, so must’ve just been a bad day overall. :down:

And as everyone says - it only happened if you’ve got photos to prove it!!
