WEATHER: 17C, LIGHT CLOUDS, RUN IN TIDE, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7PM

Squid are freaking out over red jigs and come 6:30PM they fire up, they were sitting out deeper and the mate and I took turns hooking up and snagging the following squid. Four pairs, caught 4, mate caught the other 4.

WEATHER: 22C, OVERCAST, RUN IN, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7:30PM
Red jig and they came thick and fast. They were sitting on the sand I'd pull one in every 2-3mins, seeing as they were smaller they proved a little hesitant but that didn't stop them. Caught six, mate caught 4, saw only one other squid caught on the pier.

Friday 3/12/2021
WEATHER 12C, OVERCAST, RUN OUT LOW TIDE, CLEAN CONDITIONS
TIME: 5:30-7:30
Rinse and repeat, and come 6:30PM they were on, caught another 6, young bloke next to me caught 3 - saw only 2 other squid caught along the whole pier. Not a single squid on the concrete. Secret spot does it.

Cheers all,
Keen to get a few more this Sunday, legit hoping for overcast weather.

Awsome catch man as always, great report. I saw you there when I arrived, I waved and called out your name but you were too busy chatting to some blokes so I was ignored lol all good, the squid slowed down after you left, I only managed 2 that night, but I did manage half a dozen whiting a nice flatty, couple 45cm pinkies and 20 makerels. Was fun, plenty fisherman's there some with nice snappers in the 2kg mark.

I was there was night. Saw one bloke get a flatty over 50cm at the half way point of pier. Me and my mate only managed a few whiting and nice pan pinkie. Seems like a very productive pier. Especially at night. Do the the bigger fish usually get caught down near the rocks?

Yeah, the rock side of the pier has been pretty productive on the right winds, saw one 2-3kg fish caught last night. That said, there has been a few good fish caught facing towards Indented.

Squid didn't really fire up last night, caught 4, saw another 4 caught. Very slow.
